You Can Fool Most of the People All the Time
Religion is a huge fraud kept in place to control the masses, and transfer power from one ruling family to the next. It has been used to control the masses throughout the Greek, Minoan, Roman and almost every regime in our written history. Jog your memory and try to remember anyone in power willingly giving up that power. Do Popes do it? Not since 1409. Isn’t it reasonable to assume that a younger, more vigorous Pope would be better able to serve the needs of the Catholic Church? But no, the Popes, without exception hang on until death. What’s the problem? Aren’t they sure that they have secured their place in Heaven? And why doesn’t the Catholic Church, with all its resources, make sure that the world’s poor have housing and sustenance? Instead they hoard massive art collections, gold and prime real estate!
