Religious Extortion

Some pointless questions that segregates our mind we risk being extorted religious threats acobardándonos ending.

The word "extortion" sounds bad. One definition that gives the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (1), says:

"Pressure that by threats exerted on someone to force him to act in a certain way."

A threat is a crime. More specifically and appealing at the same dictionary (2):

"Crime consisting intimidate someone with the announcement of the provocation of a serious evil for him or his family."

From my point of view this is what religions do and some wayward faithful: extort and threaten.

Humans have several weaknesses. I could even say they are counted on the fingers of one hand the strengths.

For some unknown reason, to our mind would think that we need to know such things as "why we are born?", "What will happen to us after we die?", "What was the origin of the universe? '.

These questions, and associated distress, are our main vulnerabilities.

When we open a question we do something very similar to what happens to us when we have an open wound: all pathogens that colonize wish to exploit us slip through the "window" unprotected.

Since everything would indicate that "man is wolf to man ', ie attack us in our own species, our open wounds are those questions whose answer would be useless but that the absence of a convincing answer exposes us to some pathogens exploit our own species and, through deceit, threats and extortion, we end up convinced that we are guilty of being born, being sons of Adam and Eve, having sinful thoughts and that our destiny will be torturous if not obey the religious racketeers.
