Religion Is A Gigantic Fraud
Intelligent men do not decide any subject until they have carefully examined both or all sides of it. Fools, cowards, and those too lazy to think, accept blindly, without examination, dogmas and doctrines imposed upon them in childhood by their parents, priests, and teachers, when their minds were immature and they could not reason.
Some433,000,000 Mohammedans believe that the Koran was brought by an angel from heaven; 335,000,000 Hindus believe one of their gods, Siva, has six arms; 153,000,000 Buddhists believe they will be reincarnated; 904,000,000 Christians believe a god made the world in six days, Joshua stopped the sun by yelling at it, and Jesus was born of a virgin and nullified natural laws to perform miracles.
There is absolutely no scientific proof of any of these claims. Science has shown them to be contrary to all known facts. It is more intelligent to classify them as false. Religions are all based upon the primitive superstitions of ignorant, stone-age men who had no knowledge of science and thought the world was flat. The Catholic Church imprisoned Galileo for life and burned Bruno at the stake because they disagreed with these superstitious beliefs.
These primitive beliefs have been kept alive by a vast army of priests, preachers, and rabbis because it is to their great profit to promote them, first, by imposing them on the helpless brains of children, and second, by saturating the air, TV, press, and schools with their childish superstitions and unreasonable claims. They fool the ignorant and make the gullible and the intelligent alike pay tribute to them.
Religious beliefs are against common sense.
Religion has caused untold ignorance, murder, torture, fear, poverty, unhappiness, wars, and has kept the world 10,000 years behind the times. It still does, while the millions support the priestly loafers in comfort and ease. For ages the independent thinkers have been murdered, ostracized, tortured, and suppressed and their writings destroyed. Only in recent years have a few courageous thinkers been free to criticize religions.
Great thinkers and scientists — Voltaire, Thomas Paine, Charles Bradlaugh, Luther Burbank, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Henry L. Mencken, Charles Smith, Joseph Lewis, Rupert Hughes, Bertrand Russell, H.G. Wells, Mark Twain, Herbert Spencer, Thomas Huxley, Clarence Darrow, Chapman Cohen, George McDonald, George Bernard Shaw, and hundreds of others — have discarded all or most of the religious beliefs.
This leaflet will be shocking to the unfortunate victim brain-whipped by religious indoctrination from childhood. But those who have a spark of intelligence will examine the facts, will stop paying tribute to the religious profiteers, and lose their fear of a mythical god and mythical hell.
If the gods which foolish people pray to were decent beings they would not permit innocent children to die of cancer, be blind, suffer from polio, muscular dystrophy, rattlesnakes, sharks, deadly germs, sickness, diseased brains, idiots, and insanity. All these things are the result of blind, natural evolution.
The Thinkers Club appeals to you to examine both sides so we may all escape from this religious oppression which degenerates the minds, forces all to pay tribute to the priestly parasites, and retards human progress..

Mikaizel says.
There is a saying that goes “ if a lie is good enough, told long enough it becames truth”
Man have a tendency of naming things even those that he can’t see with his eyes. And so they came down from the skies claiming to be. People of that time were little infants in this knowing business more like Adam and eve before they ate from the tree, so they, guided by ignorance easily believed this lie. And that was the beginning of religion.
The ancient Elohim/ ancient gods.
Elohim” means “those who came from the sky”
There is vivid description of flying spaceships in the Bible; just read the book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament. YES, spaceships have been around for millions of thousands of years. Civilizations from other worlds have visited our world for thousand of years. They are mentioned in mythology and scriptures from EVERY Continent.
The “Aliens” experimented with apes and changed their genes some million years back and produced the Human Race. The creationist and evolutionist are both right. ( let us create man in our own image)
The Aliens transverse the heavens in huge, self-contained mother ships, ships big enough to recycle liquid, gas (air), food, and enough power to run for centuries, or at least be able to mine the fuel from asteroids or other worlds. The mother ship is so huge that they are unable to park it on a planet and shut-down the antigravity; it will collapse under its own weight. For them to shut down the power they have to park the ship in an orbit to keep it weightless. Of course, with the mother ship come all sort of scout, work- and exploratory vehicles, which are the ones we usually see flying around our landscape. The crew of the mother ship has to be fairly large and I can imagine them to sign on for most of their life. Even traveling at the speed of light, to explore space within 25 light-years of your own world will take a long time.
Their civilizations are millions of years old, they know exactly how this macrocosm works. They might have seen other worlds come and go, (destroy themselves). They know the evolutionary steps cognition has to go through. These aliens would To “primitive” humans aliens appear as Gods.
Religion started as system that your ancestors used to keep us under their control. For hundreds of millenniums the people on planet earth were divided by the ancients otherwise known as the elohim ( those who came from the skies). They divided the earth among themselves each posing as THE one god of heaven and earth, the omnipresent, omnipotent, Omniscient supreme being. To this other ancients laughed but others were not at all amused. For thousands of years the lie was being passed on from generation to generation until the truth was completely annihilated.
Religion is third dimension reality it is for those who are still under the curse of life that is the human condition, seeing oneself as separated from all that is –life. And this my friend, this is hell.
The main circle of life is Earth to Water to Air to Fire and back to Earth. If everything was to be cut down into small pieces and placed next to pieces of me who would be able to tell the difference. Man is all these elements, his thoughts, his feelings, his actions and this is Life. When then does separation begin? When does man became separated from life –love the movement of things unseen, moving together forever. Man is the spirit that is all things experiencing life in this dense physical reality. Man is not his body or his mind but according to religion he is this and nothing else. To a religious man his mind’s illusions are very real and this my friend, this is hell.
And if all is my mind’s illusion then why be so hard on religion? It sure will be erased from the future when man is old enough to go back home to the essence.love -Oneness -Peace in eternal silence. Forever. Nothingness Friends nothingness. And This is the ultimate desire of all man to be free.
