“heres an instruction manual for real life. It’s got all the pitfalls the mistakes, lessons, values, stories, truth, metophors, secrets, systems, rules, laws blah blah all so it can help guide you for life”
Oh wait only the elite can interpret it for you. They can twist _my_ words, take them out of context, read them all the wrong ways and instead of reading It for yourself to apply it personally to your own life you have to filter it through their oppion.
Control control control. In _any_ other scenarios were the government to do the same thing on any level you would call blasphemy
Somehow it’s ok cuz it’s our religion.
The value system of truth doesn’t change regardless of who says what.
A manual for life needs to be interpreted by each person so he can apply it _personally_ to his own life and own circumstances. Sorry
