If you go to church or a large religious gathering and hear the story of how there was a creator called God, God exists, God is good, God created Heaven and Hell, God wrote the Bible, God will banish evil people to Hell, God will send good people to Heaven, it sure makes religious people feel good. Yes?
If you watch preacher magic helping a little old lady on stage, pushing her forehead, she falls over with joy, she’s cured of her physical woes. Just pray to God and you will be healed, it sure makes religious people feel even better, yes?
Guess what, the collection box goes round for a few dollars and you’re also asked to gift 10% of your income to the church. Everyone feels so good, so generous, so happy God loves us, and you cough up your money like sheep to the slaughter. Yes?
If the preachers told the truth. “We don’t know if God exists and we don’t know if you pray to God whether you’ll be healed or not, but we sure hope so” would you give as much money to the church?
