That's not how christianity works. Though Catholicism somewhat works that. What you describe is how cults work.
Worth pointing out, politics is indistinguishable from religion to the human brain. Politics is identity. Religion is identity.
Your entire thesis is invalidated.
That's exactly how Christianity works. Don't lose sight of the fact that Catholicism is a branch of Christianity.
I can only assume you are trying to make this argument from inside of the religion.
Your entire thesis is invalidated.
You haven't even come close.
Catholicism is a claimed branch of christianity. Many consider the world's largest cult as they currently break tenants required to be Christian. They also teach contrary to the bible. Not very Christian.
But ya, you keep on pushing that to make your point...
Now address the original point. Personal responsibility.
You can't. I'll wait and crush each and every argument you raise. You will never understand what I'm saying because to do so would invalidate your belief system. Arguing against religion is easy. Making you understand logic is the hard part.
