One of the coolest things to watch religion do is to attempt to use trickery to win your mind. Religious Trickery has been practiced throughout time, but the technique is so simple really anyone can do it. This is why there are so many different religions and cults out there and why they have such huge followings.

The first thing they do is help you get over the biggest fear of humans, the fear of death, as self preservation is at the top of most people's fears. They do this by promising you some incredible gift after you die, if you will do certain things for them. Things such as giving them money; tithing and living your life as not to disrupt their little system they got going on there. Oh, and devout your life to an ideal, one of their choosing and not your own.

One of the most recent abuses of Religious Trickery came when Islamic Fanatical Islamic Clerics promised 72-virgin women upon death if they went died in the great Jihad and into battle against the Infidels. Again finding weak-minded people or substandard intelligent folks and brain washing them, promising them the world of free sex and filling them with fear. Fear of the enemy and telling them if they did not go thru with this then the great One, the only one, Allah would not look favorably on them.

Sounds like a pret

ty ridiculous notion, yet humans often fall for such things. Have you fallen for religious trickery in your life? How does that make you feel? And if you have been promised 72-vigin women, why not ask to see them first? And have you asked your cleric today, why if all this is true, why doesn't he volunteer to fight in this holy battle? Why doesn't he strap a bomb to himself to get his free virgins? You see many times these authority figures are so looked up too, that no one will ask them these questions. Those who do are thrown out of the group, they are smart ones; the dumb ones are the ones who stay. Religious Trickery needs to be cut down to size in our world and we need to start with those who are abusing it the worst first. More on this in 2006.
