Religion is evil from the outset. It is evil due to the fact that it presumes to Know Truth, when plainly it knows nothing but manipulation & control. Every organization has these characteristics as they are essential to the prosperity & survival of the organization.

If you look at historical figures: Buddha, Jesus, etc, none of them set up organizations or institutions, they simply did what they did & left it at that. Others came along & intrepreted, organized & proclaimed authority. What delusion, what arrogance.

The problem with every form of religion is belief. The problem with belief is that one must defend such, even when pretending otherwise. Truth needs no defence, no rationalization. Truth is not static, cannot be written down & lived in a imitative manner.
