As you read this please keep in mind that most christian people are good decent people who are just searching for answers or a for a higher power or for comfort or for something positive to believe in...etc. This is not about them. Its about SOME of their leaders.
For many centuries now, the dark parts of Christian Religions have aimed to convert/"assimilate" all of humanity. And they have done it through instigating barbaric lethal wars..., through forcefully gathering and abusing and assimilating indigenous children in Christian "Residential Schools"..., through forced baptisms of Jewish people..., through slyly manipulating people, including through instilling fear into people... and through various types of abuses and brainwashings. The destruction, that this has caused in humanity, is utterly catastrophic and appears to be one of the primary reasons why things are so bad in our world today.
Factual documented history proves much of this problem. But there is more and there is still just cause for concern about dark religious aims for dominance and control over humanity. The following news report exposes just a tiny bit of just one part of it...
FYI; In general, I believe in equal rights and equal opportunities and equal freedoms for all people. Although men and women have many differences, and most have different types of strengths, I feel certain that they are intellectual equals. I feel that a healthy marriage is an equal partnership where ALL decisions for the family are made by BOTH the husband and wife, with consideration for the feelings and opinions of the children.
That old dysfunctional part of our past, where men dominated, and women were forced to be only their silent baby producing servants, belongs only in the past where lessons can be learned from those mistakes. The state of our world, after many centuries of religious male dominance, is proof of that system not working well for humanity. And I do not believe that "God" had anything to do with any of it - I believe that heartlessness and blind arrogance is what forced humanity down that dark path where women had no rights and no voice. It cannot happen again. I don't think it will happen again, but there is far more than just these extremist views, in much of the religion stuff, that has been and still is a threat to humanity. Various types of brainwashings and fear inducing manipulations are just two of them, and all of them must be realized and stopped. (Not to mention the child sexual abuse crimes, which have been rampant in many christian churches and schools.) These are NOT places where the real God resides. Yet, masses of people STILL flock to them for guidance...etc. Its VERY scary.
I feel that those who use "God's" name in aims to manipulate, convert/assimilate, or scare people into following or obeying their own perceptions of the bible or their own beliefs or wishes, are not acting in accordance with the real God... and those who use "God's" name to justify acts of violence or vengeance are actually going against God's wishes. And sadly, some (if not all) of the religious leaders, who do these sorts of things are actually being lead by evil forces that operate under the mask of "Godliness." Beware! This is VERY dangerous and it must be seen for what it is and rejected.
I deeply believe in God, but I no longer believe in the religions. I have had over 60 years of experience with exploring spirituality, inside christian religions, as well as outside of them and within myself. And, through that process, I realized that the real "God" is pure Love and Light..., that the real God wants us all to have the "FREE WILL" to follow our own hearts and honor our own instincts and belief systems..., that the real God wants PEACE and the complete end to all types of hurtful acts between people and nations..., that the real God wants the end of human beings trying to dominate and control fellow human beings... that the real God comes to ALL of us through our own HEARTS and that this naturally happens regardless of whether we follow any religion or not or whether we believe in "God" or not..., that the real God wants us all to heal/open our hearts to real LOVE and share that LOVE with our fellow human beings through genuine acts of kindness and compassion and respect for differences in opinions and beliefs.
The truth I feel is that the real God is Love. And the real God/Love never tries to harm or scare or dominate or control or assimilate/convert other people...absolutely never. Where the real God/Love resides, ALL races and genders and people are equal and ALL must be free to make their own choices and have their own voices. People who are genuinely connected to the real God/Love honor these basic humane rights..., and it is not wise to follow anyone who doesn't.
I have known people who do not even believe in God, and yet were far more connected to God than any of the religious people I've known. They merely used their hearts - they were genuinely compassionate and were respectful of other people's different beliefs...etc. That is what is most Godly.
We ALL have healing work to do, in order to more fully feel and spread real love. And we should all do this whether we believe in "God" or not. Lets heal/open our own hearts and let real love shine through them, just because its the humane thing to do, in order to make our world a better place to live in. We do not have to follow any religion, in order to do this, we just have to let ourselves care. Please care - be kind and considerate and respectful to fellow human beings. Let real love win.
