Why does religion attempt to pacify people, and claims it can empower against strong

worldly forces? Okay, so basically you're saying to people, pray, receive God, and then you can stand amongst all of the world's forces, ungodly, etc. Right, so just as long as you accept the lord as your savior, you can walk right in the middle of a war line of fire, and you'll be okay? You can stand up against the supposed NWO?

You can take down presidents, people in strong political positions etc?

I mean does religion even stop to think about this stuff? They're spreading the "word of God" and turning those people more "godly," but they're really not helping empower the people intellectually, financially, and teaching them business skills, money skills, and other skills, which actually CAN empower them to be forces to be reckoned with in the real world.

I'm all for God and faith at the end of the day, but I even see how it can be a form of mind control, manipulation, and how it can calm and pacify the person into this false state that "alls well", when in this world it isn't.

I think it's a crime and horrible to be out there going around like "It's all okay, totally okay, it's all good," while so many horrors happen day in and day out. Just like that.

It's like saying to people "oh don't worry, it's all of satan, all the bad is of satan, and it won't harm you or affect you if you believe in God."

Wrong. It may not harm your spirit, but it can harm your intellect, motivation, IQ, and so many other things.

What good is a spirit, if you lose your home, your mind, your character, your personality, your everything.


Then you have NO power to help anyone else including yourself! Though we have brainwashed and weird enough people out there who will infact encourage you to sell all of your things and go to God.

I've even had one guy try to make me do that. Literally! He's like "you have to listen to God, if he wants you to sell everything to join him, so be it." Yadda yadda yadda.

How about, empower yourself, think for yourself? etc?

I mean, religion/God do serve some purposes, but they seem to pacify people instead of arming them with what they really need to win in this world, and for the battle of their "souls," and blindly thinks it can shield you from the real world?

I mean there's only so much it can do.

People still have to go out there, make decisions, work, and so many other things.
 
Only you can help yourself.
Organised religions need to recruit new members and keep existing members brainwashed so they can become more powerful.
No one needs religion. It is intangible.
