Using Religion to Control Others
The Archangels Talk about When Religion Goes Wrong
In case you don’t know me, I will state that I am not anti-religion, any religion, and neither am I anti- any group of people. I don’t think any religion is better or best than any other, and I believe people should choose for themselves what they stand for and believe.
There are a lot of proclaimed righteous causes trying to gain power and control over others, many supposedly based on religious beliefs, and that’s causing a lot of problems. What never ceases to amaze me are the religious zealots out there who are supposedly steeped in their religious protocol, who have twisted the very religious foundations they proclaim to follow to suit themselves. Heck, why not just branch off and form your own religion, if you’re going to reshape it to suit yourself, anyway?
I asked the Angels to talk about why so many people are out on a rampage and base it on religious beliefs, when all the major world religions are actually based on love for God and for other people? Following is their reply.
