Religion is god's population-control tool
From a historical viewpoint, religion is just a kind of superstition, and from a political viewpoint it is a tool of social control.
True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God. Religion does not consist in erecting temples, or building churches, or attending public worship. It is not to be found in books, or in words, or in lectures, or in organizations. Religion consists in realization. We must realize God, feel God, see God, talk to God. That is religion.
If you want to control a population... give them a God to worship.
Interest in religion is not necessarily interest in God. Religion in public life means a set of ideas, an ideology that has certain positions. Religion is then one more ideology among others. Religion is about God. Religion begins with a relationship to God, not a relationship to an idea. It is God who is an actor, not just individuals who have certain beliefs who are actors. God is an actor.
Music is a tool. Lighting is a tool. Power point is a tool. Getting those things right is not the goal. God is the goal. Those are just tools. And we can real easily turn into worshippers of all the tools, rather than remembering that this is simply a tool to get the job done which is to help connect people with God and to help inspire people.
If you control the oil you control the country; if you control food, you control the population.
As long as there is no control of population, the population explosion will make it so easy for politicians to dominate.
Alienation is perhaps the most effective tool of control in America, and every reminder of our real connectedness weakens that tool.
I've always been opposed to population control. In climate terms, population is not the biggest problem going forward.
...religion is a tool to bind people together, to strengthen their unity, but like every tool, it can be mismanaged, even used in opposition to the way it should.
Believing in religion is an insult to God, because God means high intelligence and what intelligence there is in religion? Let us save the God from the religion, from fables for children! God has never spoken yet; He has been remaining in silent for millions of years somewhere outside our universe!
God is religion; religion is God! There is no need ever for holy books, for holy rules or for so called holy envoys! God is religion; religion is God!
He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.
Religion is a tool to stamp out oppression, repression, and tyranny. It's to save the oppressed. That's what religion is for.
For great men, religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting tool.
Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.
