You follow the rules put forth by men in a book. That's subjugation.

So does being a hermit. I wouldn't recommend it for propagating the
species. So your religion takes the best, brightest and most religious, and
condemns them to end their family line with celibacy. Makes a lot of sense to me.

No one has said that certain aspects of religion have benefited others.
All I'm saying is that ANY organized religion is a creation of man. One
of the purposes of any religion is to subjugate (i.e. control) the followers of
that religion.
Are they going to tell you this??? No, not in so many words. But that's
how it works.

See above.

I'm not angry. You want to follow after that, be my guest. My point
makes perfect sense. You are the one trying to say the truth lies in a book
without any verifiable proof.
> What creation of man can last 2000 years?
A pyramid. The parthenon. The bible. Shintoism which is older than
Christianity by at least 500 years. Buddhism, which is also older than
Christianity. The Great Wall of China.
There are lots of things that can and have lasted much longer than 2000
years.
> It is absurd for something

I think I've shown otherwise. Some of the pyramids are over 4000 years
old.
