I also believe that the church is a corrupt, money hungry business that is necessary to comfort those who fear death…This is incredibly offensive and I apologize and give everyone the right to completely ignore me.



Do you mean any church in particular or do you mean the Christian church in general?

I think that the ORGANIZATION, the STRUCTURE of the Christian churches IN GENERAL are corrupt in that they exist for the purpose of controlling others…POWER. Their leaders are politicians, not spiritual leaders.

BUT, the PEOPLE in the churches, IN GENERAL, are sincere, for the most part.

It’s like the AMA. The FDA/AMA is a corrupt, $$-hungry, power-hungry BUSINESS. (Think they’ll ever find a cure for cancer? Of course not - that would be bad for business!) But that doesn’t mean all doctors are that way. Many are sincerely caring.

Having said that, I think organized religion is a double-edged sword. Many people DO get comfort from religions, and religion DOES make them better persons. But just as many are hypocrites!

Personally I am in favor of personal spirituality but I don’t care for organized religion.
