IS YOURS A FEAR RELIGION? - Brian Knowles - June 1979

The late Sir Bertrand Russell declared: "Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear." Presumably he would have agreed with the ancient Greek historian Polybius that the purpose of religion is to keep the masses in check. And one must admit that in many cases they had a point. So much of what even passes for "Christianity" is based upon the fear motive! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
