Are Religions Supporting the Evil Governments?

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true,

and by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.”

(Seneca)

Most of us have grown up in some kind of religion or another.  Everyone seems to think that their religion represents the “true” God and the others are in error.  But as I acquired more discernment, I’ve realized that these religions seem to be built on the same corrupted foundation as the governments: lies, lies, and more lies.  Once something is founded on lies, then there is no reason to believe any of it.  But it works well with the governments as it is a way to control the people.  Lies are a weakness and once believed, the people have weakened themselves with the misinformation.  No matter what the issue is I think it is important to always be looking for the truth regardless of any system of belief.  If the religion doesn’t represent the real God then there is going to be trouble. There has to be proof of the real God. The evidence that I use is the beauty and the magnificence of the Earth and the universe, someone would’ve had to create all of that, and that someone is the real God. Beyond that I don’t know any more than evidence that I can see and understand.

I’m getting used to looking at the results rather than the doctrine itself.  The behavior of the people in religious groups will tell me whether something is right, wrong, or questionable.

Religions are useful to governments because they weaken the minds of the people thereby making it much easier to manipulate them.  

In observing the natural order we can see the results of what the real God created.  All of our choices in life should be based on that which is easier to do than trying to understand some religious doctrines.
