Because Christians use guilt as a weapon of social control. Make people feel selfish and wicked and bad about themselves and tell them that the only way to be better is to be penitent and submissive to the church It's worked for 1700 odd years now: there are self-sufficient, self-adapting Christian franchises all over the world. [/QUOTE]Pretty broad brush you used to paint us with there. Not all Christians are like that. Don't lumps us all together. That was exactly the reason so many of the protestant sects broke away from the Catholic Church. We didn't wish to be submissive.
