The Church Is A False Witness
The 18 Biggest Lies the Church Uses to Deceive Billions
Do Not Fall for Christianity’s Deceptive Tactics
With the Easter holiday in full swing last weekend, all manner of spurious memes and videos depicting bloody crosses, empty tombs, even fluffy bunnies, were hitting social media. From Facebook, to TikTok, Instagram, it was everywhere. You just could not get away from it.
I guess I saw just one too many “AMEN!” or “HE IS RISEN” posts, because the thought occurred to me: How does the Church get away with deceiving this many people into believing their mythology?
The answer is multi-fold and quite complicated actually. For decades of my own life I was caught up in the Church’s delusions thinking that I desperately needed Jesus to save me from my sins or else I was going to hell.
In a nutshell, the Church employs a quintessential “sales pitch” via a kind of “sales funnel” to lure unsuspecting people into their web of deceit.
Mostly, it’s all about pulling people into their clutches using other people we love and trust. It’s like the ultimate MLM scam (multi-level marketing), only there’s no real product, it’s just religious hype they dupe you into believing. The product they do sell is snake oil: “God’s love”, “forgiveness” you didn’t know you needed, “eternal life” in a “heavenly paradise” and the ultimate “get out of hell free card” you actually don’t need.
But nothing is ever free. Even the Church’s Jesus with his “gift” of eternal life comes with a catch, a hidden cost they never tell you about.
So let’s look at their “sales funnel”, if you will, to see how the Church sells its religious snake-oil gospel to billions of people all over the world.
Duped Victims
Before any of the sales funnel happens, you need a customer base of ready victims, people who are often unsuspecting if not all that bright, ready, willing, and able to be duped into believing a lie.
And the bigger the lie the better.
Naturally, NO ONE ever believes they’ve been deceived. Everyone thinks that what they think and perceive is going to be the truth…
