Religion is just Capitalism *spoilers obviously*


Religion is just Capitalism: biggest effen scam, the Both.

The God everyone thinks gives them purpose in life and afterlife is just some Management looking for quick buck.

The Management seduces you with prostitutes and young boys, and ditches you when you lose faith.

Am I right?

Am I right?


Human society is structured around the Master-Slave dynamic.

Groups of organized apes, are fighting other groups of organized apes. The goal is to disorganize the others, and exploit them for the benefit of the winners.

The master controls the reality, the resources and the slave, who is dehumanized, turned into cattle. It's a terrible aggression that destroys the slave, kills him fast.


And here comes Religion.

The slave banished from reality, escapes in fantasy, where he can restore himself to the human condition, and destroy his master, his exploiter, his abuser. Once the slave restores himself in this fantasy that is THE SLAVE's RELIGION, he comes back into the reality of his master, and destroys it, and his master. And he is forced to take his place, or be slave again. Because the reality forces this dynamic - master-slave - upon the human specie. You can't survive without exploiting someone else. The human specie survives by devouring itself.

The master who controls reality, understands that the slave is escaping in fantasy with the goal of coming back into reality with a vengeance. So the master is trying to hijack the slave's fantasy. The master tries to control the slave in his fantasy, where he again turns his slave into cattle. This is THE MASTER's RELIGION, or the organized religion. The master is forced to destroy his slave, because the other option is that the slave will destroy the master. But destroying the slave means the master gets destroyed also, so the master tries to keep the slave alive in a virtual reality.


So, the civilizations of today - from China and India to Russia and Occident, are the result of countless cycles of Masters replaced by, or overcoming the revolts of, their Slaves. The US was a colony of the UK, now it is UK who obeys the US.


Christianity is choke full of symbols alluding to the nature of its purpose. The believers are "the flock" and they are encouraged to identify with Christ, who is "the lamb". The heads of the church and the state are called Fathers (the catholic Pope means "father", the orthodox Patriarch means "father", the US have a "Fathers of the nation", Stalin was "The Father of the nation", Hitler's reich was "the Father land", and so on". They basically brainwash you subliminally with "I furcked your mother, I created you, I am your Father, you do what I tell you, you are my sheep, I own you".

With the advance of technology, it is now possible to keep the slave lost in the fantasy for a prolonged duration: CINEMA, SPORTS, GADGETS and VIDEO GAMES provide a more substantial false sense of accomplishment and happiness to the slave. The slave lives vicariously through countless Christs - Superman, Batman, Ironman, Spiderman, The Undertaker, Tripple H, Randy Orton, John Cena, or the movie superstars, music superstars, sports superstars, porn superstars, and so on, are just as many tools to prevent the slave from restoring himself to human condition through the fantasy, and return into the reality of the master and destroy him.
The slaves have originally created all these superheroes, in order to sabotage and shed the yoke of their masters. Then the masters rush to control these currents, this culture of the slaves, and use it to control their slaves.

Got it? There's a religion of the master, and a religion of the slave. And they are clashing, both being designed to destroy the other. Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary have been replaced with Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. They are being shoved down our throats just like Jesus was shoved down the throats of our great grandfathers.

No. Religion is worse than capitalism. At least Capitalism is upfront about its goals.
