Religion is a mane made construct for social control. Your teacher was right about Christianity in theory and I know because I was raised with Christian beliefs. As I became an adult I started to realize all of the contradictions, holes and lack of logic. I believe in God, but not religion. IMO, religion is just a sekf serving ideology that people use to make themselves feel like they are better than other people. The most despicable people I knew were followers of the Christian faith. How can you trust a group of hypocrites filled with sinners? Anyway people are free to let someone else tell them how to think and what to believe, but I will continue to tbink for myself. No one can speak for God, but God and certainly no book.
