A lure always has a hook in it.
People are deceived whenever they feast with their eyes and swallow with their ears.
Look at all the majestic cathedrals, temples, and shines that man has built on the face of the earth, and when people enter the gates they feast with their eyes and swallow with their ears.
Even in religious Christianity, we find that Christ is no more than a character in a storybook, a mixture within the environmental experience, where people will actually believe they are Christians because of their association with majestic buildings and with priests in glamorous garments.
Knowing this, we should be able to see and understand that religion is a spiritual intoxicant for human minds and is just as powerful as drugs or alcohol at keeping people from knowing the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
For this reason, religion targets children: to get to their minds while they are young in order to get them hooked on religion for all the days of their lives.
More than this, religion targets adults with child-like minds, not knowing that they are accepting a dream that is too good to be true. Because they want to believe it is real, they believe it: and they will teach their children to believe the same.
So now we can see how religion is recycled in families, generation after generation, because the solution is just as powerful as the stuff in bottles or in needles.
Religion, therefore, is a hook---all dressed up in the fancy frills of majestic cathedrals, temples, and shrines, and with priests in glamorous garments.
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. (Genesis 3: 1)
Like the serpent, religion is more subtil than any belief in the field.
