All these religious leaders...the so called high and mighty "pastor" for example are all delusional. I mean this as no insult.

They pray to themselves convinced that their deity hears the prays and actually listens. And regardless of what you tell them, you are wrong and they are always right. The moment you object:

-you are fallen to the ways of the world (its always them vs the world)
-you have abandoned god (they say this with a deep voice)

None of your reasoning and no matter how simple the logic, these delusional folks will come at you. Like a less intelligent animal that always does the same routine everday over and over, these respected and mighty "Reverends" will repeat what they have been brought up to do since childhood.

Why am I saying this? Funny damn thing happened 2 sundays ago. I was pressured by my family to attend church. So I reluctantly agreed. This was a church I had been dragged to since 1999. I hadn't gone there for a year or two. The old pastor (whom I knew very well) had retired and a new had been brought on as a replacement.

This guy had been at it for 2 years already. So when I first met him and introduced myself, he seemed a bit impressed. He asked me a couple questions and due to my quick talking style and insane abilty to make up bullshit on the fly, I spoke on. Perhaps I overdid it lol.

He then told me how he had been "praying" (talking to himself) to god to "send him a young man" who "I can train to carry out the gospel." He added that "I can see the Holy Spirit in you...I think you have a calling!" and that "God is telling me in my heart that you are that young man."

OK now by this time, I am like "shhhhhhhhhhhhhit."

Anyway, so all the while he was telling me this, I am wondering first if his god really exists? If so, then is he really talking to him and answering the prayers? And why choose me? I would think his god would choose someone who actually believes in him...not someone who is atheist and hates this talk!

But you see, religious folks fall for this everytime since they too have been talking to themsel...err god. I am quiet sure that if this incident had happened 3 years ago, then yeah I would be that young man.

Now just imagine how much misplaced power these pastors have. Billions of chuch buildings that take in billions of dollars across the world on sundays while misleading billions of people. All of them are like this pastor whom I just described; delusional.

Some of the most desperate tactics are used by these men to keep the people under control. I just witnessed the classic blackmail through death threat that is repeated everytime boldy after the end of sermons in the 21st century: "come to jesus, give your life to him now...so if you die on the way home, you know where you are going!"

wow

How delusional then for someone like Robertson to say these things. Worse part is they actually believe it.
