No scam is as dangerous and
widespread as is the religious scam. It’s the biggest and first scam in the
world. While money or health scams may cause us great damage in this world,
religious scams are far more deadly since they affect our soul in the World to
Come.
Most people in the world have
been fooled into accepting all sorts of false religious beliefs and worshiping
worthless gods and images. In the days when prophecy existed, the real prophets
were greatly outnumbered by the many false ones that claimed that they were the
true prophets. It wasn’t easy to know whom to trust and who was telling the
truth. Charlatans would use their clever powers of persuasion and all sorts of
miraculous claims to spread their false religious beliefs to millions of their
addicted followers. Religion is a big time business. Priests and others have
used it to fill their coffers with gold and silver. It is very difficult to
give any estimate of how much money is extracted yearly by these religious
faith healers.
Even within Judaism, the one and
only true religion, there have always been movements that have distorted the
truth. False messianic claims have been quite commonplace with people like
Shabtai Tzvi only one of the many charlatans that has successfully misled and
deceived thousands of people. Even within Orthodox Judaism there have been many
charlatans that have cheated us by selling us holy objects such as teffilin,
mezzuzos or Sifrei Torah that are counterfeit or of no value. We
have often been deceived by the phony charity collectors who have cheated us
out of performing a mitzvah. No matter how smart we think we are, it is
nearly impossible to protect ourselves from all those who wish to scam us. This
is why we must constantly pray that G-d protect us from being mislead and show
us the real path to follow. Without His help we could never do it alone.

ReplyDeleteWould you want to create your own cult? To became the pope of your group or even a messiah? No problem: some dollars, a bit of imagination and... done! Learn it through the Korean unifying movement of the self-styled “messiah plus reverend” Sun Myung Moon: the Unification Church! Very active in the richest countries in the world. From the campaigns against Marxism and Christian culture to the help for Jean-Marie Le Pen party in France, in 88s. Strategies “no profit” to recycle a remarkable amount of money, in normal activities “full profit”. The secrets of the fundraising and sales “door to door”. An economic empire built on fundraising, making anybody believing of feeding nagger kids and not doing that even for one. A deepened report of the most picturesque enterprise of the history: the Moon’s sect! Probably the cleverest fraud until now! A narration, that pertains one of the primary ruinous evil of our era: the impoverishing speculation on the money in purpose of mere acquisition, without producing nothing for the common benefit! A recognition in the language denoted of plagiarism and self plagiarism, that denote the interpersonal deal in the mystical micro-cults.
