Looking at things from a very realistic point of view
Religion has done more harm than good
Although i dont doubt the fact that God exist
Because personaly in my life i have seen some positive signs in time past.

But i came up with this thread because of things happening in this modern day.

Some terrorist group seems to originate from some religious beliefs, pastors enriching themselves at the expences of the poor members n compromising the real gospel, so much hate towards a particular group of people if they have a different religious belief from some others.

Eg, Christians hating muslims or reverse as the case maybe.

Concluding in all these, one question comes to mind
Is religion a scam?

Christianity is not a scam.

Whoever quotes me and asks me for proof, you will grow 'iron gamu(bear bear)'. I don't have time.

Thank God salvation is personal.

That was why I specified... I am a Christian so I can only speak for my religion.

All religions except atheism, specifically new atheism. Since I converted I've learned so much.

What's new Atheism?

Religion is no scam
It only becomes a scam when the person leading is a scam himself or herself

There are still genuine pastors and imams though.

Big one!

Atheists do not like to be called by that name bcoz of the sentiments accompanying it and will not want to engage in a deep religious argument with just anyone bcoz you're all weirdos. Don't quote me for all atheists

It's because you have no genuine point to make.

The guy I quoted is different..... His moniker and signature reflect how proud he's of being an Atheist.

Religion is a scam indeed but true Christianity is not a religion. It is a living relationship with the living God. It is the revelation of the righteousness of God. It is a revelation of the love nature of God. It is divinity at work in humanity. A true Christian does not hate anyone. We love everyone including the terrorist Muslims. We do not love what they do but we love them and want them to come to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are only 2 religions in the world - Christianity and Islam, the rest are Spirituality... Christianity and Islam where created for social engineering.. They both recognise and reverence 2 gods, hence they are both dualistic belief system... They have a separate God for good and another responsible for evil...
But in spirituality, there is only one universal divine creator.. That is responsible for both good and evil.. And we are part of it and it is part of us....
We are Gods or spiritual beings having a human experience... For that reason religion is the biggest scam..

Religion is for those who are scared of hell, Spirituality is for those that has already been there..

Only those who are awake will know..... It's a journey, you will loose friends, family.. But it the best journey you will ever make.. The jews spent 40 years on the journey....

To focus more and work harder to succeed so i won't need to dwell on how or how not, Mr A or Mr B made their wealth.
