Both Christian-ism and Juda-ism are ideological power-and-control religions all-the-way-down, as is Islam-ism. Furthermore each of these three "great" world religions are essentially political/business corporations competing for market share in the now common whats-in-it-for-me market place of consumerist religiosity - no real discriminative intelligence is required.
They are now also competing on the world stage to establish their self-appointed "rulership" over all human beings.
This is especially the case with the "catholic" church which (unfortunately) is granted the status of an independent state with all the privileges that that entails, and the behind the scenes "authority" etc to interfere with and manipulate the religious and cultural aspirations of ALL human beings - pretending that it has a "great commission" so to do.
It, the "catholic" church even has various Concordats which is uses to trump the religious, cultural and political aspirations of the citizens of the states which (unfortunately) have signed up with these Concordats - CO as in con-man being a very appropriate word check out a truth-telling website titled Concordat Watch.
With very rare exceptions the entire edifice of Christian-ism was fabricated by mere human beings, none of whom ever met Jesus up close and personal in a living-breathing-feeling human form thereby participating in Jesus's teaching demonstration thus receiving his personal instructions and guidance as to how to live the universal non-christian, non-sectarian Spiritual Way that he (Jesus) taught and demonstrated.
How many Illuminated Christian Saints have appeared in the West for the last 500 years or so!
When I collect and use plants, that is my religion. Never could trust my Catholic upbringing, disgruntled nuns and power seeking priests. Funny, it was called St. Athanasius. Kind of like a cross between Anesthetic and Euthanasia? Happy Winter times....

Winter indeed. Listening to Samson and Delilah by the Dead from Germany in 1981. And my interest in recent antiquity as cultural emotional
