Re: Can church be bad for your health?

This Thread is dead on! Abuse within Religion is nothing new, and today is no exception. I see the main problem being that the World of Faith is Spectral (Unseen). A Leader or Saint within a Denominal or Non-Denominal movement will use "God Said", "Heaven or Hell", and the many other forms of unproven data to manipulate the crowd beneath them.

This is the exact form and fashion of past generations that sought to control those of lesser knowledge or experience. When people get out of line or they begin to question, pull another rabbit out of the hat that makes the rebellious look evil and backslid. If something can't be proven, a person is left with a choice to make, especially when Hell is brought into the picture. Because people are weak when it comes to imagination, the unseen “Tool” is used to paint a picture that doesn’t exist which keeps the crowd possessed with an idea.

A person can leave the Church environment on top of the World, only to find when they embark back into the normal slam of society, the lows or realities of life await them. Running the aisles becomes a distant grief because of emotional wig wag. Back and forth, up and down, Religion literally becomes a drug. Then we return to the place of abuse, slapping the preacher on the back for MORE! Give us MORE!

I have discussed this numerous times on this Forum. Just ask yourself, “Why are there so MANY different Faith’s in the World, and they all think they are right?” The above is why. God tells someone something, they acquire a following, the following begins to question, and then the abuse begins or gets worse because the Leader(s) fears they are losing control of what they started.
