You can always tell people who had parents who made them go to church until they left the nest because they're pushing 30 or 40 and still mad at every single Christian for their torture enduring a couple hours of sermons on sunday mornings and wednesday evenings. :qq:

Actually communism is bad and resulted in the suffering and death of millions. Christianity on the other hand has given birth to the scientific method, individual rights, and capitalism (the best economic system ever invented)

Well, when your choice of company is either the party boy Jesus who's a little too drunk (12.0 BAC, only a true son of god would handle that!) or his hardass dad who alienated everyone and drowned a bunch of people...

Have y'all ever read the Bible? It is very weird. Both the old and the new testaments. A zillion rules that all contradict each other. All the different editions are different, too. I've never read the Koran at all! I imagine it is similar to the other two, though...

One thing you can say about the Bible, at least women get mentioned by name. In the Koran the only woman mentioned by name is Maryam (Mary), mother of Jesus.

So it's all the names from the testaments plus new wives! And I'm sure other names...

Figured it'd be worthwhile materials for OPs project. I got some off of them, they are very nice indeed.
Other stuff worth checking out in the realm of mind control through religion are "The Guyana Tragedy" or "Manson."
Desperation is a good way to lead people into a simplified spirituality construct like Christianity. Some may find it themselves. But when people have no one else, Jesus is a really sweet dude that has tons of soup to spare.
