      The Hammurabi Code, The Pharisees, The Spanish Inquisition, etc. (I’m sure my fellow lemmings could go on and on).

      All of civilization has been: ‘jumping from one bullshit ghost story to the next to reinforce laws created by the rich’.

      Are you new?

        That’s Lemmy’s resident Catholic apologist. They actually believe Christianity has been proven true. Don’t waste your time.

        the Pharisees hated Christ

        “do not murder” is a commandment

          Who cares how the Pharisees felt about Christ? They used religion to control people for the rich long before and after Christ. Then others did it in Christ’s name. All religions are dumb control mechanisms for the weak willed.

            you have no other sources than a few historical events

            and can I have a verse in the Old Testament used to “control the poor”?
