Answer 1

Glory of God,

I like your name, by the way....

I think people create religious movements to separate themselves from the rest of society and to make a statement as far as their beliefs......

Don't believe in them...... they all claim to know the way.... (Luke 17:21).... They say, "look here"... or "Look, there!" We have the answers"....... But, the answer we really need is already inside of us....

Most are sociopaths, they are emotionally dead from birth, and the only fun they have comes from f*cking with people. Since they have no feelings whatsoever, it never bothers them to destroy other people's lives. If you look carefully at the histories of Joseph Smith (mormons), Jim Jones (people's church), and David Koresh (branch davidians), you will esentially be looking at the same person. Their methods were precisely identical in every detail; all three claimed direct contact with God, all 3 coerced their follower's property and money from them, all 3 put their followers in communes, all 3 sexually abused their female followers, married, underage made no difference, they viewed all the women in their 'flock' as property. All 3 also preached hatred towards the federal government, all 3 built their own private armies, all 3 died violently, as many sociopaths do.

Not all sociopaths are as charismatic as these men were, but they do pop up occasionally, they are as dangerous and cold as serial killers, maybe more so!

Answer 3

because they don't satisfy with existing religions. they may search for salvation in every known religion but never find it. dissapointed, they decide to make their own.
to get followed, they must be a good preacher or public speaker. at first a small group may notice and listen, and then get influenced. and that small group will spread the teaching, works better if have public figure or celebrity among them. when the religion get bigger, they may spread their teaching by holding holybook in one hand and weapon in the other to force people follow their belief. or they can choose peaceful way by spreading their missionary to every corner of the world.

Did you artwork this out all on your guy or woman? Bravo right this is a cookie, and welcome to adulthood. people do comprehend this, they simply % to not realize it out of worry of death. some do not comprehend this because of the fact they lack the psychological ability to evaluate in this point. Of this latter type of people maximum are actually not incapable yet somewhat only too mentally lazy to self improve their thinking profile. This even though does not negate the aptitude for the existence of a writer & clever layout IMO

Answer 5

Can't find it within themselves, there are all kinds of sheep in the world. Jesus knew this, that's why he used the word lamb.
He never asked for this. Those who have ears, will hear.
And I'm not a christian, but I got the message.

I AM
