Who of you believe religion was created by a government? Who believes that the government just uses religion as a form of control?

Its hard to say yes because religion has existed for such a long time and an ''organized'' government is quite recent in comparison.

There's always been a government. "organized" religion doesn't exist ha. People of the biblical age probably thought their government was organized too.

Religion existed before government. FAIL.
[h=3]gov·ern·ment/ˈgəvər(n)mənt/
[/h]
Noun:
  1. The governing body of a nation, state, or community.
  2. The system by which a nation, state, or community is governed.
Rethink what you said....FAIL on your part buddy. Government has been around since animals wanted to own territory.....The leader governs his/her territory and leads and controls his/her followers.

I was being serious. I answered your question, all you asked is who believes?

you didn't elaborate, or even state how you felt about the topic.

Why would it.not be? There is a heirarchy system in the animal kingdom just as there is in our own. You dont have elections, but there is order

Kings ruled back in the day....they controlled everything.... even the churches, to make people feel like they had to listen to "them", to have control over the people.

Man has been wrong since the beginning...and we just continue...down the same path. Listening to "them", was and always will be our downfall...we need to do what we want, have our own beliefs and to actually be Free, not slaves working for what? who? government ...yah Them!

its all good :)

I love Religion it gives people Hope...I'm just not religious myself...I feel that we are all equals... but I'm not going to believe that just because someone else said it, that it will/will not happen. Because once you do.... They got you right where they want you!

They need a "no vote" for elections....like a spot for " none of them" so if the majority of voters vote "no-one"... they would have to put up new candidates, until they get a majority vote for one of them. Ever notice how once they get the vote, and they are in, they can go back on anything that they Promised they are going to do for the people ( and for years) ... should be a trial period, like one year, where if they are not going down the path they promised to the people, then they get ousted. ASAP. Would make them actually do what they say they were going to in the beginning.

Then it might actually make the people feel like they "can" have more "control" over Who is Ruling them!

but then again it's all probably rigged anyways? lol
