RELIGION'S PURPOSE

   Evil is the absence of the knowledge of God; and because people refuse the knowledge of God, man has used his imagination to produce works of evil for thousands of years; whereas, people with the knowledge of God have used their imaginations to produce works that are good for people.
   Therefore, a mind that is without the knowledge of God will never produce works that are good because evil minds can only produce evil ways and evil works; for a mind that is resistant to God will never receive the knowledge of God; consequently, good works do not exist in evil minds.  Neither can a mind that is clothed in darkness cannot receive the Light of Christ. 
   When we return to the topic of religion, we can clearly see and understand that Almighty God did not create religion, and neither did Christ, which leads us to ask the question:  Would Almighty God need a religion?  Would Christ need a religion to tell the world about Him? 
   People of darkness seek places to hide from the face of Almighty God, and religion is the place that man invented as a place to hide from the face of Almighty God.
   In religion, man created his own system of worship for the god and gods of his world of darkness.  It is there where religious people write their books of religion, their religious philosophies, their religious laws, orders of worship, and rites and rituals.  It is there also where men give credit to their god and gods for inspiring or blessing them to create religion from their own imaginations. 
   Not only is religion the place for the absence of the knowledge of God, religion is also the place for the absence of the love of God.  Thus, religion has no life and no love because its very existence is in the imaginations of people.  Religion is not based on buildings but rather a concept created in the imaginations of people.  The building is merely the place where religious people gather to strengthen the psychological image that is built within their minds, and it is that image they worship.
   An evil mind cannot accept the Light of Christ because that mind is clothed in darkness, and it is in this darkness where religious people hide.
   At the same time, religious people can pretend to be good people, which is their way to deceive others to believing that their religion is something good; and which is their way to recruit members and to convert their minds to their religion and to be like them. 
   Religious people are deceived people and they work to deceive others---not knowing that they are deceived as well as not knowing that their works are deceiving others.
   When Christ makes Himself known to religious people, however, the Lord offers  a choice:  come out of the darkness and to the Light and be saved, or remain in the darkness of religion. 
   Religion's purpose is to keep people slaves all the days of their lives because religion is a thief.
   Jesus said, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:  I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  (John 10: 10)
