So you are agreeing with Dasa that it is a book written by animal killers, also?
Don't get me wrong, I eat as much meat as most people. But yes, that book was written by animal killers, some of them for eating, some for worship. My main point is people have been being duped by religious snake oil salesmen for 3000 years or more. Control men, subjugate women, that's the main theme. Do it by fear, invent an anthropomorphic god, make your god in the image of men, tell a lie, make it big enough and weak willed people will believe, desperate for a better life, even if it's after they die, so they are told.
Of course, it's just co-incidental the leaders just happen to have the best food, best houses, best transport, whatever the era. This is not Jesus, this is that madman Paul who invented the whole so-called Christian thing. To make a religion acceptable in Rome, there had better be miracles and wow, Zing, Zap, now there are miracles. Prove I'm wrong.
Tell me no women were burned at the stake accused of witchcraft for millenia. Tell me how many women have been made pope in the Catholic church, or much of any other church. I see some in Methodist churches but they are far and away in a great minority. Why is that? Someone with female parts can't be expected to preach with the big guys? You wouldn't accept a woman preacher?
