>>14189023Christianity has always relied on these tactics. If the flock is allowed to debate the merits of the ideology, they will eventually discover it is built upon a foundation of lies. So the followers must be lectured at, with enough repetition and intensity that they will blindly adhere even to outright lunacy. The Bible is true because The Bible says so.
The wise preacher is nothing more than a snake oil salesman, swindling the desperate masses out of their hard-earned pay. He is a merchant of deception, paying a fitting tribute to the Jewish origins of his repulsive creed.
