My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary by going back to the chapel we were married in and revisiting the restaurant from our first date.

I am one very lucky guy.

      Not really. You’re not giving much of a motive. Who is religion? Who is in on the scam?

          They aren’t really. Just asking you to give backing to your position. You’re getting worked up. I’m guessing it’s probably a sensitive topic for you.

          Not everyone has a bad experience in or with organized religions. Not everything about every church is broken. If you’re taking an absolutist position that they are, that’s as naive an approach as you are accusing them of.

              You didn’t, you just dodged them. You kinda sound a bit brainwashed tbh 🤔

              • No. The question was “who is doing the scamming”… Answer: ENTIRE religion.

                Question 2: “how am I being controlled?”… simply by attending church is control.

                Asked and answered… Done with the BS of not accepting those answers.

                  So I am being scammed into doing nothing by nobody and I am being controlled because I opt to worship God alongside other people on the weekends? It sounds like a flat earth conspiracy theory, ie, what’s the point/motive of “the big cover-up”?
