UNSHACKLED

   In religion, people are at the top of the mountain:  there is nothing else to achieve.
   The lives of people have been planned and orchestrated by the clergy and people have no power to change any of the dogmas and doctrines that govern their lives.  They have been trained where to sit, what to say, when to stand, when to bow, and when to say "amen".  They have been taught to get in line, to participate in the rites and rituals, and when to return to their seats.  And after the benediction, they are free to leave the building, but not to be free:   taking the laws of their religion with them with the hope that they will not fail to break their religious law.
   From their toddler years until their end, religion is the same cup of soup:  with no more hope for a better tomorrow than they had on the day when they were born, or from the day they joined an institution of religion.
   Religion offers nothing new, nothing different, and people can do the same, predictive drill with their eyes closed because the drill never changes and because the menu never changes.
   In reality, religion is an institution of spiritual slavery.  It is where people are captured and held as prisoners until the day they die.  Their ministers and priests are the same as prison wardens, who hold the leash on members; and the members, being prisoners, submit themselves and their children to the authority of their ministers and priests.
   The institution of religion is the same as a dictatorship, and the ministers and priests are the same as an Adolph Hitler---keeping the eyes and minds of people shielded from Almighty God, from learning about Christ, and the Holy Bible is strictly forbidden.
   As such, people fear the ministers and priests because they have been deceived to believe that their clergy are as all-powerful gods:  with the authority to forgive sins, but also with the authority to withdraw the forgiveness they have given.
   Prison life is a life of misery, and people of religious institutions do not realize the misery of their situation. 
   When Jesus saved me, He set me free from a life of religious misery.  As such, I am free to think and free to live a life of freedom, which includes the freedom to worship Almighty God and to pray to Him directly at any hour of any day. 
   When Jesus saves people, He breaks the shackles that bind them and releases them from prison
