Thats a bit of a mess but I'll try to respond as best I can.
Dictator is the perfect word to use. Children, the poor and everyone else who dedicates their life to this nonsense are instructed on what to believe otherwise they're not doing god's will and will go to hell or whatever heaven isn't.
The Christian, or indeed any other church controls people's lives every day yet it has no right to. You (and most other believers) speak as if you have some kind of private line to god and that you have knowledge of the paranormal that nobody else does. This is called illusions of grandeur.
Basically you're saying that if one has a hard life, that they shouldn't worry because it will be made up to them in the next life? Try telling that to Fraulein Friezel who was locked in a dungeon and raped by her father almost daily for 24 years.
Imagine how she must have begged him. Imagine how she must have prayed... every single day and nothing. NOTHING. To say that it's acceptable for people to go through the misery they go through and justify it with promises of an afterlife is both immoral and nonsensical.
The truth is that nobody knows what happens when you die and nobody ever will. Based on the way that leaves, trees, insects, fish and other animals die; we just cease to live. I can base that on the way everything else dies. What do you base the afterlife on? The same premise on which children base the tooth fairy. "But my teeth must go SOMEWHERE!"[/quote]
first about churches controlling people,that's not something connectiong to religion and beliefs,it's something connected to politics,i can control you under any name,forexample,i find that US now controls other countries in the name of democracy,although that's not logic but that happens,so don't burden the faith human's mistakes and abuse
i'm with you that there are terrible things in this world,ofcourse there are
but who made us feel such bad feelings for sure is able to make us feel million time good
can even remove this suffering from your life,you know,we believe that after life we wont even have same bodies,this life worths nothing and we will feel it was like an hour in the after life,his life is just a test for us,but ofcourse we are loving in it because we didn't try anything else
i don't know how you blame god for things he knows it better than you,it's even not logic to blame god,because if he exists,for sure he knows what he is doing
i'm not convincing you with the afterlife or something like that,i'm just saying,suffering and terrible things in this life can't be an evidence that god doesn't exist or that this god treats us bad.
