It was incredible. This guy was on TV, shouting and carrying on in front of a whole audience of people. They all looked dazed and/or brainwashed. He was going on and on with cult scriptures from the bible like he was possessed, all the fire and brimstone stuff.
And it was all over a book that history shows us was edited, compiled and partially written by a Pagan Roman Emperor, named Constantine, in 325-AD. It's kinda crazy, isn't it...

yes people like to be brainwashed. nobody has ever been able to be moral and ethical people on there own. they must get off on feeling like some angry daddy figure is shaking a finger at them all the time.
fire and brimstone? they can have it!
and boy, doesn't what Shayna have to say certainly sound like fear tactics to further brainwash??

The name of the game is brainwash. When Israel attacked Lebanon, there were huge demonstration in Europe, hundreds and thousands of people marching but the media here did not show it. They constantly brainwash people and show only selective news. They even start lying for their benefit. They made 9/11 into a religious thing eventhough it was totally political. They say that they hate our freedom. To try and twist and control people by telling them lies is dispicable.

What you believe about the Bible is something someone told you without reference to the facts. That is just as sad as the televangelist. I don't know who it would be. They colored my vision about what Christianity was about before I got in and found that there are a few nuts like that on the outside, but the real people inside are consistent and honorable people.

I live in the northeast and when I travel, I've seen preachers on tv who are so over-the-top that I literally thought it was a comedy skit making fun of them. I literally couldn't believe it. And the audience was in rapt attention! I realized our species is hopeless at that point ... hopeless.

this is called " using religion for greed " in my opinion.has nothing to do with a real religious belief system only the " Almighty Dollar. "
hope no one judges the real Religious Belief Systems by these types or all who are sincere are in deep, deep trouble.

As crazy as a public school teacher teaching history without reference to the faith of the explorers.
Or a public school teacher discussing science without reference to all ideas about creation of the universe.
Kinda of crazy...but freedom of speech is manipulated by many non religious as well as religious groups.

It's sad, isn't it? Believing in bull like this guy spouts saves those sheep from having to think for themselves. It's too bad they don't realize the universe gave them a brain upon birth, NOT a bible.

It's very disturbing that we still have nonsense like this going on in the 21st Century, isn't it?

God, Himself, is the judge of all of our actions and decisions.
Deceivers and distractors are in the world to keep us from the one true God, and salvation of our eternal soul thru His Son, Jesus.
