"All
national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit"
what does he mean by "
national institution of churches" remember these people came from europe were the catholic was big part of the power in european nations and they saw the corruption and advocated the separation of church and state.

Take a deep breath and try to relax.
You came here saying something isn't real that I know is real through personal experience.
I asked if you feel this way what is the alternative.
You haven't provided the alternative.
This is actually you dodging. I never came here trying to push my belief on anybody. We have the opposite.
You came here and have failed to show me "truth" so I'll stick to following Jesus. Have a nice day and God bless you will continue to be the outcome. You have provided all opinion providing nothing that has verifiable and sustainable data, so I get to stick to what I have already verified.
:)
I had a personal experience there is no god checkmate. Feelings are irrelevant to this discussion if you have them i suggest go cry elsewhere. Here you bring real proof.
Unproven hearsay magic story is not a default explanation. I don't have to provide an alternative to superstition
