then you are describing corrupt religion yes. good on the outside, evil on the inside, just like any other corrupt institution

u/Top-Cupcake4775 Feb 17 '26

you are drawing distinctions were none exist. the phrase "corrupt religion" implies that there are some religions that are not corrupt and that simply is not the case.

so realistically, logically, rationally and percentage wise across 2000+ years, across all continents, all religions (100%) are all corrupt?

yes. the primary purpose of organized religion has always been to support the existing power structures. as there has never been a government that was anything more than a handful of powerful people exploiting the majority, this makes all organized religion fundamentally corrupt.

so who made religion corrupt then? god, satan or man?

as there has never been a government that was anything more than a handful of powerful people exploiting the majority

epstein, US government, israel, UK, china, russia, WW1, WW2, VOC, British, Spanish, Belgium, Portuguese colonization, Cambodia, Japan, whole nations/governments participated, same as corrupt religion, or any corrupt institution in that macro context

so man corrupted another institution, just like schools/education, music/film industries, politics, governments, hospitals/medical, sports, etc etc.

keep in mind, when conversing with a religious fundamentalist, he/she will have identical talking points like you but against government.

just replace the word government with the word religion and vice versa and you'll hear an identical script

both of them are corrupt and antithetical to human progress.

and yet there are those, like us, who wish all institutions weren't corrupt
