Every religion exists for two reason. One, to make money off believers. Two to make the masses act or do however or whatever the appointed one/ones likes according to them or so called scriptures. Why cut out "cults" when most religions are responsible for similar and worse actions. Anyone following any religion is just a slave to their ignorance and imagination or someone elses forcing them to as they do (parents/community).

You shouldn't be so quick to judge every religion all at once.

i agree with allie. having been a solitary witch for so long how was i to make money off of myself?

If any god would like to say hello to me, now would be the time. You dont, you spend it, silly.

You shouldn't be so ignorant, Xenovan. I've been to places that preached and asked for nothing in return. No donations, they gave no demands. The place eventually closed down because the guy who was preaching had to spend more time at work, but he didn't ask for anything and he didn't give any orders or make any demands.

There are two types: believers, and con artists. Maybe he was a believer, though hes only aiding in the rise of more teachers and students to con. I dont care personally. I just think religion is out of hand and taken way to seriously since all of it is improvable and made up with impossible events.

sounds like a profitable endevore as long as you keep from killing and stuff.

As I said, Xenovan, you shouldn't be so ignorant. I'm to tired and to preoccupied to bother trying to teach you anything right now though. In time you may learn on your own or, if you are happy, then you may stay the same. After all, they do say that ignorance is bliss.

Religions are crap but true followers who can find spirituality in it beyond thinking of other its members are ones who have my respect.
So both sides are winers...and stop playing smart ones its realy sad.
