It was a way for the uneducated people from back in the day who were just learning about the world to explain things. The fact that it has stuck around so long and has been taught to so many people that its ingrained in many people. Now I am not saying Jesus was a bad man or a good man. He more than likely did exist, but not immaculately conceived. Thats my opinion anyway. He may have had a good cause, but just like the guy who created Scientology for profit, the priests who formed Catholicism were out for the same thing. Since Catholics were the first unified Christian church till we had all the others break out. I mean come on you have to pray to the priest so he can pray for your sins? Give me a break what the average man is not good enough to pray to god and ask for forgiveness? I think religion is the worlds best form of mind control because many people are willing to listen to the BS and even die for it. These Scientology nut jobs need to think for themselves and not the people who started that cult. Its all for profit someplace. Every religion, but they get the tax break for being a religion. Just look at some of these pastors and such. Buying two lots on the river to build their half million dollar house and nice cars all paid for by the church. The hard working people who give everything to the church. To heck with all of them. At least the western religions anyway I don't know much about Hindu, Buddhists or other easter religions other than Islam and I admit the only thing about that I know is Kill the infidels. LOL
