I'll give you the point of man made religion, but that would be exactly what the elite would have created.
So you say that man created some religion but then turn around and say that it makes no sense for them to do it....
And tbh if we want to get technical, all religion is man made, as it is man that make up the beliefs.

Does not America have a history of eugenics, I could be wrong and do not have time to re research but I am pretty sure the USA beat the Nazi's to it by a fair few decades?
The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics was founded in 1927 in Berlin, Germany. The Rockefeller Foundation supported both the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Psychiatry and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics.[1] The Rockefeller Foundation partially funded the actual building of the Institute and helped keep the Institute afloat during the Depression.
EugenicsEdit
In its early years, and during the Nazi era, it was strongly associated with theories of Nazi eugenics and racial hygiene advocated by its leading theorists Fritz Lenz, (first director)Eugen Fischer, and by its second director Otmar von Verschuer. Under Fischer, the sterilisation of so-called Rhineland Bastards was undertaken. During World War II, the Institute regularly received human body parts, including eyes and skulls, from Nazi party member Karin Magnussen who studied eye colors, and Dr. Josef Mengele (at Auschwitz) to use in studies intended to prove Nazi racial theories and justify race-related social polices.
The American eugenics movement received extensive funding from various corporate foundations including the Carnegie Institution, Rockefeller Foundation, and the Harriman railroad fortune.[6] In 1906 J.H. Kellogg provided funding to help found the Race Betterment Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan.[10] The Eugenics Record Office (ERO) was founded in Cold Spring Harbor, New York in 1911 by the renowned biologist Charles B. Davenport, using money from both the Harriman railroad fortune and the Carnegie Institution. As late as the 1920s, the ERO was one of the leading organizations in the American eugenics movement.[10][12] In years to come, the ERO collected a mass of family pedigrees and concluded that those who were unfit came from economically and socially poor backgrounds. Eugenicists such as Davenport, the psychologist Henry H. Goddard, Harry H. Laughlin, and the conservationist Madison Grant (all well respected in their time) began to lobby for various solutions to the problem of the "unfit".

You do know hilter has nothing to do with what we are talking about right?
And you are taking his actions a little out of context.
Hate was his driving force, plain and simple.
What ever he used to rationalize that hate is irrelevant, he hated people that he felt were unfit and acted on that hate.
Hitler was an example of how politics and science can marry and form a monster. And how it can all happen again.
How politics will seek justification from scientific theories to push their agendas.
But hey, who cares, right?

You do know that politics is in a dangerous marriage with the Theory of Evolution, right? Hitler's Eugenics was a direct result of this scientific theory. Blinded by "only the fittest should survive", he attempted to overtake Europe, and killed thousands to "purge" the Earth of those he viewed as less evolved.

Christianity is not man made it is the inspired word of God. People are forgetting. The bible isn't a made up fairytale it is an account of history.
ANYTHING good can be hijacked and used for bad. In fact you will find that the most successful serial killers stood as noble pillars of the community and no body suspected the evil behind the deception, or that it was a deception at all to begin with.
Sometimes you just have to step back and see the bigger picture.
There is a reason they don't want you believing in Christianity. There is a reason they molly coddle the violent forms of Islam whilst condoning attack on Christians.
Do you think it's because they care about you being duped?
Seeing as they spend an unlimited amount of time, money and resources pulling the wool over your eyes 24/7.

If you actually read the new testament and the teachings of Christ there is nothing about command and conquer in there.

Is that a scientific fact? Or a belief?
People aren't forgetting, they're disagreeing.

Are we sweeping the OT under the rug?

Evolution is the greatest lie ever told. It doesn't matter if you believe in creationism or not. Evolution theory is fraudulent science. It has not been proved by any means, does not have any supporting evidence based in real science and is akin to a cult.

Np. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of your view of the Bible. Obviously you are down with the New Testament and the teachings of Christ. You believe the Bible is an accurate portrayal of history, and God. If I understand correctly. I was just curious about your stance on the OT.
