One has to believe in religion and man made religion as a way to control and tax people, and if you don't pay, in old days people would come to your farm and take, what was it 400 years of Holy wars, not too holy on receiving sides, but very much like governments. You believe in our ways or we will bomb you even though we don't live there, and it is horrible act of terrorism you should do something to us and yet bombs kill thousands of kids and civilians for the sake of believing like us. Yes, religions been around 5000 years and we still killing each other, and I am going to confess myself to another man? No chance that ever going to do again. I am devote to my maker but all else are sinners like me and you. So when someone says "proper", what one sees as proper, what are they selling? I often think religions are forced learning as a kid, easy to brainwash a kid through accepting or pain, to learn religion, "Thou shall blah blah blah" and yet try that with a tall big man, someone would get crushed.
Want to feel good, help build homes for those who are down and out, help in soup kitchens, donate to future of mankind. It certainly can't hurt your trading.
Hi Handle123,
When I think I had grand plans for you,... I might now change my mind - kidding of course (
).
Well I fully agree with you: whenever there is opportunity, scam artists will use anything
( including religion) for their own benefits, including enrichment - because why else
did "false" religious people go to bomb to the stone age some remote people if not to enrich
themselves and their accomplices?
Now, if these scam artists, went to wear the "religious robe", in the same vein as the wolf wears a sheep clothing, it is because real and true religious people offer something of value, and they know it.
I will be honest with you: myself I shied away from religion and religious people at a certain period in my life as I saw too many of the scammers and fakes... till I understood
why these people were there. This allowed me to distinguish the "real" from the "fake".
What is a "false" Catholic, what is a "true" Catholic? I talk here of catholics as this religion popped up few posts ago. This was a HUGE question for me as well. Now, I have come to peace with Catholics, and realised my mistake in confusing "false"Catholics with what Catholicism is all about, I was able to understand better why some religious activities came about - including the value and benefits of confession , the extrême form
being EXORCISM.
No, I am not telling you specifically to get exorcised, I am just saying that there are stuff out there that work, and sometimes it is best to be humble and just give it a fair try and reap the benefits. For those - as I understand some got inspired from the exploration of exorcism - I can only applaud you to do it, as many sessions are needed. Very well done.
It is about sorting out any psychological/mental/spiritual problem that has negative consequences.
Let me put a link here about this aspect:

and
I would say myself that exorcism is at the front end of psychology, etc... as for one to be authorized, the "demander of exorcism" needs to tried and exhausted all the traditional ways of getting help. And, I can tell you,
that these cases do exist!
Now, you say that whoever you will confess to is no more saint than yourself :
my question is : where does your superiority complex comes from? how do you know
that your sins are less than a properly - and I emphasize it here - qualified exorcist?
Feel free to ask questions about this important aspect.
