I M Perfect lady

I had made a comment that sounds like an oxymoron, “Prisoners of Faith”. 

The two don’t seem to mix, and churches seem a far cry from prisons, but in my experience, if you are not free to live, you are in a prison of your mind…and even deeper, in your subconscious beliefs.

What most fail to consider is that the way religion is oftentimes presented is with the Fear of God, not with the Love of God.

They frame the confines of religion with fear.  

Fear of dying and going to Hell.

Fear of a Judging God.

Fear of the Un-Believers.

We were held together by what we feared, not by what we loved.  Fear kept us there, not love. 

And still today, millions are prisoners of their ‘Faith’.

In listening to The 19^th Wife, fear is the common denominator in what stops you from straying, from going out beyond the confines of your ‘Faith’.

Fear.

Fear is the main ingredient of religion.

Fear that if you don’t obey you will not make it to heaven one day.  They live in hell today for a promised Heaven.

Women having a dozen of babies out of fear.

Raised in an environment where fear is the main motivation, you can’t learn how to govern your own life based upon love.

Love is freedom. You fear freedom. 

The way the church rules is not based upon love and certainly not with freedom to the masses.  The main figurehead or Prophet needs to control and in order to gain control he uses fear.

If he didn’t fear losing control, he would not have any rules.

Rules are only for those who fear losing control.

No one calls these fear-based religions.  But clearly they are not based upon love and freedom to be and express and to live.

 Prisoners of faith…living in fear, without control of their own lives, sentenced to eternity in hell if they don’t submit to the rules of the Prophet. 

The Prophet or the seer of the future is stealing them blind by controlling their lives today.  

And they didn’t even see it happen, they lost control of their worlds today, by worrying about what will happen after they die.  “Let me have your life…or when you die you will suffer greatly.”

Convincing you that suffering for God today will ensure you a spot in Heaven when you die. Bear this cross today…

Either they rule you by fear of hell or convince you that suffering will bring you to Heaven someday.  Either way, today, right now, you have no control or freedom.  You are damned no matter which way you turn. 

Free today only to die and go to hell.

Live in Hell today for a promised Heaven.

Either way you get hell, it just depends either living or dead.

Guess you’re a prisoner of hell sooner or later.
