I have come to realise that the world we live in is filled with lies and deception. Humans made it so. Humans love to lie about everything and it seems that they will always seize the opportunity to deceive the masses. They do this for their own profit, to get attention, to look wise, to sound mysterious and to be a step above others. The sad thing is that everyone must, at a point in time, fallen for such lies and deception.

The deception and lies include religion, politics and supernatural or mystical stuffs. A man has a near death experience, he tells what he saw. When some people see that the man's near death experience is captivating a lot of people and everyone is listening to it, they will start inventing lies about the near death experience they supposedly had in order to sell their books, attract people, be seen as special and make money. A lot of people will then follow in telling lies too. These lies will saturate our world and people will take them as truth.

Religions of different cultures as we all know where forged by men. The greatest deceptive masterpiece is the bible. Religion has filled our world with lies and deception as to what reality is. The sad truth is that many buy this deception and children are hopelessly falling for it thanks to their dump parents. Religion is so ingrained in our world that people are shocked and disheartened when they discover these lies. I was shocked and sad when I discovered all these stuff where fake.

Some even go about making up false stories to keep people in their religion. Talk about stories of people going to hell, stories of people saying that god told them that Jesus is coming soon, muslims lying for the sake of Allah and Islam. The fact that you have to lie to propagate your religion tells a lot about the truthfulness of your religion. Science that is true, needs no lie to be propagated. That is the confidence of truth. On this forum, a man on this forum told a story on how Jesus appeared to him and healed him and at the end of his story, his left his phone number and the name of his ministry. his motives are simple to decode.

Even in politics and media, we can't be sure of what we read because the government can manipulate the media for their own purposes. This is especially the case with top countries. You can be sure they always have one hidden motive or another which is covered up in the media. Talk about new age teachings which are lies. The ideas of dimensions and matrix is all nonsense.

It doesn't matter what you throw at religion, it's designed to withstand it. It's well understood in psychology that people have a remarkable ability to invent explanations to cover up lies. 

What if god is using religion to weed out the ignorant people who would believe in him based on zero evidence? Theists always say that god is mysterious and that they can't comprehend his ways so it is possible under their current perspective.
