    That seems to prove the point that another person made, that religion is often used to control ppl.

    Some people use it that way but it's not supposed to be that way. For Christianity, it's supposed to be simple emulation of Christ for the betterment of humanity. Once again the God-fearing or just corrupt rulers have used it to evangelize by ill means with inquisitors and crusaders. Evangelism, or just expulsion and eradication, all acts in antithesis to Christ. Those that followed Christ as a person did so by choice. You'll hear Mason say it all the time. Many will come in my name but they are not mine. They will deceive many. The ill-begotten words like bastard or heathen spawn from such antichristian behavior.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    They are wrong. No scientist agrees with that. Religions all have to agree because their phony belief systems are predicated on it. Religions pretend knowledge that they do not have. They lie about afterlife because we all know they have zero knowledge of that. They lie about creation making up such simple-minded myths that they teach you from childhood.
    Hawkins said the existence does not need a creator. I prefer his opinion rather than bronze age goat herders. The bible was written a couple of hundred years at least after Jesus, who may or may not have existed, was dead. Then it was compiled by councils including kings and popes along with religious scholars. It was a commission that wrote the bible long after.
    It is a political book of myths.

    Faith is not dependent upon worldly head smarts. It's a condition of the heart, belief from your soul and the wisdom given of God.

    But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
    James 1:5
    Exactly who of you has actually conversed with your god?

    That's false. It was written before Jesus. What was already written was meticulously translated and compiled by Constantinian scribes.

    https://www.history.com/topics/religion/bible Nope. it was not. Earliest book after about a century. Some in the middle ages. Lots edited by Kings and popes much later.
