One problem with both religion and politics is "Confirmation Bias".
This is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that affirms one's prior beliefs or hypotheses. It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way.
The effect is stronger for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply-entrenched beliefs.
Completely absent and devoid of Doubt and Critical Thought. Seeking only what increases the faith in the belief that says only by belief in this belief will you escape the burning pit of Hell. The worst thing that a child can imagine, that in itself can be a traumatizing and fracturing of the mental state.
The same fracture/break of the mind and personality that can occur under the stress of actual torture of a child. Like Humpty Dumpty...
What is brainwashing, mind control and programming within any cult that requires absolute devotion without question?
The real Christ, the Messiah, the High Priest of his Church and the Prophet, the mouthpiece of the God of the Jews that he claims multiple times..."God sent me, I go to your Father that is my Father, I go to your God that is my God, know this God Our Father hallowed be that name and to him all the glory, sent me".
Words and the Great Spirit, the Divine, the I Am... that the Emperor of Rome or those of his Priesthood made Heresy. As if words of wisdom given to the Swine.
Peace turned into War, Love turned into Hate, Love turned into Fear. By those that only seek more Wealth and Power.
Who did Jesus say would forbid Marriage and turn with lust on their own kind? Who did Jesus say would call each other Father yet all are virgins? Which God did Jesus preach to the Jews and the Disciples and said to love him with all your mind, heart, spirit, and strength? To whom did Jesus say had no Mother and claimed God was his Father?
What follower of the Christ and believer in his words would call him al liar? Discounting almost every good word in the Gospel. In favor of the Chief of Sinners that has no prophecy nor able to do as the Christ told the Apostles? And does what the Messiah says do not do? How is that Following? How can you claim to follow and be in fellowship if you do not agree with...every word that proceeds out of the Mouth of the Messiah. That says he is sent by the God and Father of Jews and Gentiles too. The House undivided, the Flock whole even those that are lost or believe themselves to be Bastards, Fatherless.
There is a reason why the song says 'I have a Friend and Brother in Jesus.
Who stole the God of the Jews away from the Jews? Who gave the God of the Jews, the Disciples, and the Apostles. A Mommy and then made her a Virgin too? Claiming Jesus the God that is seen standing at the right hand of the New Queen of Heaven?
Can you spot all the lies and the Tares sown by the Romans, the mortal enemies of the Jews, added to the dogma and doctrine of the Messiah of Judaism? And a God that sees evil as good and the good as evil. Judging good and evil by who bends their knee and swears allegiance?
To the God that is a man-made Image gave the Name of a Man by the Fathers of Jesus, the Priesthood of the Romans. A God that claims he comes in Peace but only brings endless War, Conquer, Famine, and Death. The Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Witch Hunts.
Who says only their God is Good yet can only create evil? Making Mankind in the Image of Satan, their Nature Evil and unable to do good. Satan dying to forgive all the Sins of the Women, Mother, Sisters Wives and Daughters. No matter what they have done, do and will do to the Men and the Children?
With the Shedding of Blood, all Sins are forgiven, past, present, and future? What of the Victims, the Children...when all Sins are equal? A God that came to die to forgive all the Romans for all their Sins against their Enemies? Even against their Women, their Wives, Mothers, Sisters, and Daughters.
All Sins are equal, so why does the Messiah say that those that harm the little ones, those that hurt a hair on their heads. Better a Mile Stone Millstone hung about the Neck and thrown into the deepest of Oceans?
All rhetorical questions, for the God of the Jews and Gentiles too, says he will not be mocked. You will reap whatever you sow. Be it Peace on Earth or Endless Wars...the choice to repent and follow the straight and narrow the way that leads to that Good Gate. No Father demands perfection from their children but they do hope that they try and do their best.
What good is a World full of Sinners that claim they are better than everyone else, playing King of the Mountain while screaming no you are the Cursed... while desiring everything of Mammon, the love of Money and rejecting the Truth and the Spirit of it?
