The medieval Catholic church was a mixed bag of corruption, persuasion, and fear-mongering. There are a number of scary historical facts about the Catholic church, many involving the use of intimidation and coercion against the faithful in an effort to - oddly enough - keep them faithful. Plus, this was a time when the majority of people were illiterate and highly superstitious, making it that much easier for the church to manipulate the population and make them ever dependent upon the church

The problem with religion is it is govern by humans, not god or angels or even demons. Faith is a construct which frees religion on the burden of proving the validity of its teachings merit. While I wouldn't call myself an atheist, I would only convert if GOD himself delivers the message. If that means I would be the first to be smite upon his return as punishment for not having faith, I would except it and ask forgiveness. It would resolve my conclusion that religion is a human construct that was created to instill control on a reality fill with uncertainty and then later used by individuals to gain power over others. The most successful con ever created, if only it wasn't filled act of atrocities that are carried out as just in the name of it's deity and are the source of hate between people.

Did not know the origins of the 'Hell Mouth. ' I had thought that the notion had been borrowed from the BCE Egyptians' religion, who had an enormous monster of a crocodile that would eat you up if you did not know the precise incantation to ward it away during your evening's 12 position trip through the underworld. This applied only to the Pharaohs, but later to everyone else because as physical money came into the realm (the idea of standardized gold or silver coins started in modern day Turkey about 700 BCE, money became more acceptable as certain favors or understandings could have been purchased or rented. Imagine that. Found out about this last on several of PBS' documentaries. So. in the public mind.

Twice in the past 6 months I have been harangued by someone to join their religion: once on my doorstep and the other in a taxi. I dont, would not, think about harassing strangers to join me in my atheism.

It is truly sad what the Catholic's did to people. I thank God for the Christian men who faced a horrible death to bring the reformation, and freedom from the false teachers in Catholicism, may they RIP.

One very important lesson I gleaned from this is religious people are gullible and not very bright. I've always suspected it. Belief in magic and fairy tales is for children.

Fear has & is always used by any person or entity to control 1 person or entire countries. Every government on this earth uses fear to control the people, now's a good example.

Very informative and impressive. If you could provide the source you use for all these topics, it would be helpful to anyone who wants to do a more in-depth study.

Selling tickets out of purgatory. sounds like the florida man and woman who were selling tickets to heaven (its an actual story you can look it up)

See? Stuff like this is why Martin Luther's simple act of pointing out what the scriptures ACTUALLY said caused the reformation

Most religious people are superstitious and uneducated. And at the top are the well educated rich people. Making promises

I was taught by nuns and they kept me in line for years with their depictions of hell. I'm 72 now, and I still get chills.

Im a Christian, but I admit that some absolutely horrendous practices have been done by so called Christians.

The religious are pathetic. Easily manipulated and typically with the overall intelligence of a toddler.

Medieval Christianity, I'd like to introduce you to QAnon. I think you two will become great friends.
