    Thanks Omnisense for an interesting article. I agree with you that Abrahamic religions are used as a way of manipulating the the masses (particularly the people who blindly follow) the people behind the scenes definitely took the narrative and twisted it to suit their own ends. The influence of a deity is everywhere from schools,courts,military politics ect. I personally don't need to go to a building to speak with GOD ( which is just a title which even self proclaimed humans have called themselves). I prefer to use the term 'source ' or 'creator/creation ' creation would be my church and as part of creation I need only look within to connect to the 'source', I certainly do not need an organisation or a figure head to help me to reach salvation whilst these are my personal feelings I do not disregard or disrespect anyone who chooses to worship in a religious framework, its just that I do not want to conform to anything that I would feel controlled and set boundaries

    Hi Omnisense, just curious: what are your thoughts on glossolalia. How do you think does it come about?

    Good well thought through article Omni.

    Most people are brought up and taught to be a compliant and obedient citizen, where few dare question the status quo for fear of ridicule or punishment by their friends and peer groups.

    In our working career we are conditioned to respect authority, comply and follow rules and act without emotion because if we don’t we’ll make a mistake and become less productive farm animals.

    Ignorant humans are predestined to eat, sleep, work and play a little will no time for much else - by design.

    Clearly a person that has accumulated significant wealth will see the world totally differently to a person that has had all the bad luck going. The wealthy person may still go to church and thank God for having a blessed lifestyle. The poor person may believe God wants them to experience being destitute because it makes them a better person, but don’t worry you’ll be rewarded in the next life, earth is just a testing ground.

    In my opinion it is the monetary system itself that controls most activities on earth. Only when you are either financially independent and or you live below you means debt free are people going to be free independent thinkers, but, this is dangerous for the Establishment & Ruling Elites.

    I think that the people who speak in tongues are lying to themselves and others for the purpose of desperately wanting other people to think that they are in contact with God.

    The original people who spoke in tongues spoke languages they didn't know (langue being tongue), the people who claim to do this now make inane noises & babble gibberish, this was the type of thing that used to be associated with witches sabbats.

    It's most commonly found in cults run by a money making person with a magnetic personality who games "Christianity" for their own purposes.



    @Omnisence, how do you know you weren't used to promote this stuff seeing as you are a TI who has his mind messed with constantly ?

    You are targeting the people & acts of people who call themselves Christian, what about the meat & potatoes of the actual faith ?

    What about people who actually have a functioning brain & spiritual insight like Teresa of Avila or Bernard of Clairvaux ?

    Why did all the Apostles die as martyrs if they didn't see the risen Christ ?

    I am not targeting Christians. You are assuming incorrect things. I am analyzing the pitfalls of what I believe is a mind virus, an affliction upon our planet. Notably, the belief systems of Abrahamic religions, new age, and scientism so far (Satanism and Luciferianism to come). There is a big difference between attacking a person and debating information. What you seem to be doing is attacking myself if I'm being honest. Do you happen to be a follower of one the belief systems analyzed? Because that would make sense..
    Hi Omnisense, can I suggest someone to look into? This should appeal to you on an intellectual level. This may shif your perception or change your mind about religion in general being a mind virus (I promise it isn’t bible bashing). The rituals linger long after the reasons have been forgotten.

    Superstitions kind of remind me of a mind virus. I have some eccentricities in my head that feels like a virus, it started as a superstition which I picked up from my peers, but now it's more like some kind of weird OCD habit.

    I still knock on wood, and I toss spilled salt over my shoulder. I realize it's a result of conditioning, but fighting against it takes a fair bit of effort. I just gave up spending the effort, and started rolling my eyes at my self every time I do it Those ones are harmless, but worse ones operate similar.
