If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Does Christianity go against man’s desires? If so, is that evidence for Christianity? I answer this question, discussing the history of Christianity, the cognitive science of religion, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and more.

The whole “atheists can’t answer this question” and “atheists can’t explain this” thing is really getting old.

    The primary desire, from the people who invented religion, is to control other people.

    So, in that regard, it very much is fulfilling mans desires.

    Ok, well then what about your average adherents? Yup, them too. They very much want to be able to control what other people do, and since organized religion enables that, of course they’re down with it.

    The problem with the question is the asker doesn’t comprehend what the basis of religion and “mans desires” actually is.
