Take the United States for example, as the colonists settled the west, missionaries went out and "converted" the Native Americans using lies of an imaginary place to scare them into believing.
When you are told that if you don't believe what I tell you to believe and pray what I tell you to pray than you will burn forever in hell, fear is a powerful motivator.

Guilt and fear are the two biggest weapons they use to spread, and it does a tremendous psychological damage to believers all over the world. They talk of love, but it is hate and fear they push.

first of all, colleges can "make" you detect out approximately evolution for the comparable reason they could "make" you detect out approximately algebra. it is real. Evolution is universal technology. Creationism is non secular nonsense. the college has the magnificent to disallow prayer if any of here situations are in touch: (one million) There are college officers (instructors, directors, and so on) in touch. (2) it is carried out for the duration of school hours, fairly than till now or after. (3) it is inflicting a disturbance to different pupils (4) there is any style of discrimination or hate speech in touch (5) There are pupils or community individuals which at the instant are not attending the college in touch (6) there is any actual or perceived coercion to attend stated assembly There are others, yet it is the backside record. If any of those issues have been happening at your college, the administration has the magnificent to close it down. the college is a mundane employer and the administration and group have a accountability to be sure it maintains to be that way.

The message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has more going for it than fear.........the power of God. Some folks just don't understand the power of the Word or the working of the Holy Spirit nor choose to understand.....talk about your closed minds all you want, but the unbelievers have closed themselves off to the wonderful love of the true God.

All big religions are religions of love, not of fear. I can't love the source of my fright. True? Fear can work only in primitive societies... which was (or has been?) successfully abused many times. Nor any man on this earth can promise heaven or hell to anyone... that's what God decides.
