Successful at fuckin the world up for their own benefit...

[@Jeremy0509]

When religion gives instructions to kill and punish other people, that is messed up.

[@toughenupfluffy7294]

Successful at deluding people until they commit atrocities.

Successful? How can make-believe be successful when it's make believe?

Placebos are 'not' proven successful. They only 'mask' the problem, as if has worked. If placebos were successful, we wouldn't need doctors at all😜. Placebos are like hypnotherapy, in that they only really work in a 'pretend' way, on very gullible agreeing ppl. When the hypnosis wears off, most patients regret what they just did and put in their mouth🥴. Life will never be as easy as a placebo unfortunately or not. We just have to accept the harsh everyday reality, instead of fantasies about how life should be, if there was a different God😜

My guess is he meant it in the same...Vein as how a big corporation is successful over mom&pop shops or family-owned businesses.

​@KZbinIsRunByNazis Placebos actually exist, whether or not they work.

Everyone loves God until the shit hits the fan😜. Then ppl turn to atheists and satanism. Because the real truth is actually more of 'both'. Eg. The true God happens to be both 'angel and urchin' in one. Love and hate are the same thing. Eg. Love is hate and hate is love, all from the same energy. The reason why ppl are not truly friends and hardly ever say hello to each other on even a good day, is because God 'is' hate. This Idea of 'love' is just a delusional feeling, which has been given such a definition. Eg. This idea of 'love' is really just the 'contrasting feeling' of 'contrasting experience'. Without 'contrasting experience', we cannot feel such a feeling. It is a neutral state. Which is what heaven actually is. A neutral state of being. And the reason why we reincarnate. Because although souls feeling this overwhelmed ecstasy when they pass over immediately to heaven, it is still a temporary illusion. No different to say jumping into a hot pool after being out in the cold. It only feels like the sensation of 'love' for a short moment. Try staying in the hot pool all day, and it becomes tedious and mundane. That 'good feeling' is all that 'love' really has been distorted from. But isn't really a thing. At least not as the religious idea of love, where it is some constant state of feeling loved. If that were the case, then it would be natural for us to want to show love towards each other. But most ppl cannot even spare a second to say "hi", unless there is something worthwhile for ppl to do so. God is really just a 'para-site'. There really is no 'out there', besides God. There really is no time and space. There is only this present moment. Which is God's different frequency wavelengths overlapping one another. Eg. We can only perceive the vibrational reality that we are tuned into. God is not about pleasure like so many ppl think. It's actually the opposite! Eg. The more pleasure, the lower the frequency. The lower the frequency, the nastier and darker the storm. The more our lives become mundane in the doldrums of boredom, the higher the frequency. Which is how we get those fine blue sky, peaceful days. God is just a self-righteous prick. We are all made from that God. Therefore, this idea of equality, is already built-in. Eg. We cannot ever escape from being equals in creation. Only ppl ideas and beliefs, create the illusion of inequality. Therefore, this idea of 'unconditional love', is also a farce. Because it's really just how it is. Not a given. That doesn't mean God is giving ppl what they want unconditionally. It just means that 'we already are the one God', that 'must' by nature, care about it's equal 'needs', to it's potential of abundance. Which is not usually much more than water out of the tap, and a roof over the head etc. God is complicated. No one has been able to completely understand and figure God out. Because it's just not possible. The more ppl try to, the harder it usually gets to do so. As if God isn't supposed to be reasoned with very well, easily. If much at all. So it's really a lost cause and pursuit, to even think ppl could reason with and manipulate God, in order to go the way ppl would prefer life to be like.

[@sceptictakeout6809]

So what you're saying is that you believe in a God that you have no reason to believe exists in reality

[@MrTurboCat21]

@@sceptictakeout6809 No😜. God isn't really a God. I only use the term 'God' to describe the one that created this abomination. Reality doesn't really exist outside of God or ourselves. It's just an artificial simulation. Our external reality is just an 'illusion' of frequency energy. Nothing is ever the same twice. The external reality is just a sum of many ideas, just like slides in a movie. Each picture cell/slide, represents a specific frequency, either lower or higher. All those different ideas that ppl show a focussed interest in, in their life experience of this simulation, is what determines the overall story and theme being played out. The external reality, is really like neutral props, which respond accordingly to the observer's strongest vibrations and beliefs. This simulation is definitely separate of the true creator. It is made out of God's energy also, but is of a much lower and distorted frequency. It is like all the dark and twisted crap side of God, due to distorted vibrations. God itself is pure peace and light. This Earthly simulation, is separated from heaven, by a dark void. Those who have near death experiences, 'all' witness this dark void, before a tunnel of light opens up to enter heaven. But technically, God is also everywhere at once. Eg. Working through both darker and lighter souls as vessels and channels of all the different facets of God's truth. Both angel and urchin. God has the ability to create the illusion of evil also. This artificial simulation is basically just like a super computer to feed all the minds with hopes and dream ideas, that are not possible in how ppl would wish. It's a smorgasbord for the human mind to entertain and indulge in. Eg. Referred as being 'plugged into the matrix'. When humans 'wake up', it just means that they now realize it is all "bullshit'. No need to keep being played, fooled and seduced by the illusion of idealistic fantasies. We incarnate to the Earth experience, primary, for a taste of that sensational indulgence, which heaven of course cannot provide. As God truly is 'moral integrity'. We don't get away with any deviations from God. It's all been clever manipulation.

[@MrTurboCat21]

@@sceptictakeout6809 No. I am only using the term 'God' to describe 'it' the creator. Everything has a creator. God is not really all possibility and love etc. God is just a loser. Has to be. Love is just the feeling we get from 'contrast of experience'. Without 'contrast of experience' we cannot feel. Heaven is only felt like love when we die. Because it's a drastic change in experience, just like jumping from a cold pool into a hot pool. After a while, the hot pool becomes tediously unbearable again. Eg. Stay in a hot pool all day, and it's no longer a felt sensation. As the body adjusts. Or the body becomes desensitized. Eg. Those ppl who live in the cold climate, or hot climate most of the time, don't really like it as much, or they just live as if it's neutral. They think nothing of it. If God is love by nature, then why is it so hard for ppl to love one another, yet alone say "hello" to one another.

@@MrTurboCat21actually desperation is the main driver of religion. Religiosity is negatively correlated with societal wealth.

[@MrTurboCat21]

@@antonioscendrategattico2302 What an utter load of bullocks😜. But whatever you like to think. I can't stop that😂. Religion is primarily there to balance out the whole simulation game actually. That's why there are so many churches everywhere. Only the very large centres are wealthy. The game is all about 'shift in frequency', in order to create the experience of 'dualism'. People need religion as a kind of discipline. Because most ppl are not ready to wake up to the illusion of the matrix, and be their own masters and guides. Most ppl are not strong enough emotionally, so they need something else to feed their minds with some God who has forgiven them, and who loves them. Because the true God is not loving us, and didn't die for our sins. Eg. We pay the price of punishment 'for every' deviation!
