please how would you continue the sentence?

mine:

... the abnegation of the creation and results in the creation of the kingdom of the sinners on Earth.

I would just add for the rational/logical mind :

and ask: expanding or contracting (tenet:infinite)?

(wrap your mind around something infinite expanding/contracting aka 1 or 0).

;)

.. as insane as Scientology. Except its been around for so long, people have come to accept it as almost normal.

Thank you CoinBateman for your response and the smile I made looking at your profile :D.

I would say insanest, it blew ROME away.

... the only way to a joyful and glorious eternal life.

Something invented back in the day when our brains wasn't fully developed and everyone was high on mushrooms and hallucinated on a daily basis

you are such a beautiful mind. I would really like to know your opinion on this subject https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1199604.0

Jesus saves.

Problem isn't that our brains weren't fully developed then. We haven't changed much in tens of thousands of years maybe. But we didn't have much knowledge back then. So people invented answers to what they saw. Much like other animals do in skinner boxes for example. Set them up to give rewards at random times and animals will develop complex behaviors that have no effect at all. Same thing here.

Actually, Youtube search "Graham Hancock" to see that people's brains back 12,5000 years ago were better developed than ours are. Some of us have devolved to the point that we, in our pride, think that we are better than people thousands of years ago.

... based on fear.

You are a Christian, then!    ::)

Why should anyone believe his theories? That atlantis is real? And there was some advanced world wide civilization back then. And that the face on mars and the pyramids there are real. Etc. and that with his picking information that suits him and ignoring the rest. No one takes him seriously.

No. Fortunately I don't subscribe to any religious cults. Rational thinking won't allow me to.

yet another religion.

They all seem the same to me.  ;)

Religions could be scams but humanity is not ready to live without them, even so, there are lots of "sinners" killing, lying, stealing others, so imagine a world without some kind of rules.

its simple really. Religion is largely tradition based. Most people will simply associate with the religion they had from childhood.
The Conservatives appeal to this, because the capitalist way of thinking is also largely traditional so they use this to their advantage

At the same time, this logic is unclear. Why? Because every religion had to have a start. And before there was a start, nobody had any association of such and such a religion from their childhood, because the religion didn't exist.

The next question might be, Was the religion started by a family head, or was it started by a small group of people? It doesn't seem logical that a religion was started by hundreds of thousands of people, all of them simply deciding to start a new religion at once. If it happened this way, there must have been some major cause that would make them all think that they needed this kind of a new religion. What could the cause be?

If the religion seemed to be started by one person, like Abraham or Moses for the Jews, or the Buddha for the Buddhists, how long did it take for it to become popular among millions? Did it become popular because the people were looking for a religion, and the particular religious leader of the day happened to be smart enough to set some religious logic in place? Or did it become popular only because it was handed down, parents to children, over generations of time?

The point is, there is a lot more to religion than some people simply following it because that was how they were brought up. There had to be more than this for a religion to get started in the first place. And if all the religions of today fell of the face of the earth, would that same THING among people get some new religions going among people to take the place of those that were lost?

:)

the reason my childhood was so tense, and the reason my parents get so frustrated during every conversation with me.

Good. They were thinking, but hadn't reached Christian maturity, yet. You, knowing what you do now, can be a much better Christian.

:)

I've grown away from christian doctrine. I believe in Jesus like I believe in Allah, Vischnu and Buddah.
Hallucinogens though.

Aw, that's a shame. Well, it was nice knowing you if only for a moment. It would have been much better knowing you for all eternity in Heaven, though.

:)

the source of the darkage.

Could be scams? You get negative trust if you try preaching here.  ;)
There might be "a few" sinners who go straight because of the fear of god, but think of all the wars religion has caused.

That would be Catholics, not Christians.

...the only good thing to keep sins like pre-bridal sex, same-sex bridal and everything like this. It is also the only way to be Good and to rejoin the Heaven and our Lord's love !

strong point :).
