Religion and Sociopaths

Someone on another board said this - "That said if most people actually understood Scripture as it is written (not translated) there would probably be no need for any organized religions whatsoever, thus a multi-billion dollar business would go out of work."

If you read Erich Fromm "The Sane Society" - he talks about the development of the individual as the only path for humanity now that we have moved away from tribalism - also an idea from the author Rene Girard - "The Scapegoat" and "Violence and the Sacred"

Yup, even with the translations of scripture - it's pretty clear that Christianity was supposed to free people - but organized religion enslaves - it's too bad Christianity is so badly misunderstood because as violent as it seems, it ends in trying to make people able to stand on their own and be strong without governments, without religions, without tribes etc.

Christianity is supposed to allow people to truly become individuals without becoming sociopaths (which is the way of extreme individuality without morality).
