Religion Is Like Bowling

The Apostle Paul established the role religion should play, in a value proportion, as a letter to Jesus' early first churches. 

In detail, Paul said that if any member of religious association has unresolved problems(violent abuse), or, issues(failure to love, aka, covert violent abuse) in their family, that they are to be summarily ejected(kicked out) by the group(rejected) and that they are not to be allowed to return, until their family issues are resolved(love, empowerment, freedom, choice) and the problems are also fully confronted, & eliminated(abuse-free).

So, in this value proposition, to place it, in another context, without changing anything about it, the Apostle Paul is saying that religion is bowling. He's saying, that religion is something to do with your time, that does absolutely nothing for you, if you have extra time. If all your business is sorted, if all your bills are paid, if you have found happiness, independently, then, do religion, but, only if their is time left over, after ALL of the business of your life and your people's life is minded. 

He is, in essence, establishing that people will abuse their family, their people, their employees, themselves. And he was pointing out that that ultra abusive, absolutely failed person will then go hide from everyone they're fucking and they'll hide absolutely anywhere that allows them to enter. 

"Not so, amongst us," the Apostle Paul unequivocally states. "If a person's personal life is not resolving, into love, on every social level, then, they are to go home, and sort all their business there. And they are not to return to us, until their business and all of their people's business has been sorted, by them." 

As far as value statements go, he is saying that that person will be using religion to create and perpetuating and maintain the abuse they are involved in, interpersonally. He is saying that religion, and religious texts, and even God themself, have NOTHING on offer, that will fix a marriage, for one example. 

And he goes even further. If your marriage is troubled, and either partner is dissatisfied, SINCE religions don't help marriages, religions most often are the CAUSE of problems in marriages.

 so, that person leaves the bowling alley that spiritual association is. So, that eliminates the first layer of problems that there is no relationship because they were always bowling and never unavailable. 

Then, they have no place else to go, because everyone knows about their problems, and failure, so, with nowhere left to escape to, and no way to avoid themselves, and their people, they start wading into a real investigation of what is actually happening.

This famous value proposal, from the Apostle Paul, is not a carrot/stick. 99% of men who sacrifice everything else, in order to devote 100% of their time, energy, attention, and care, on a complaining, hateful child, or wife, or employee, OK, 99% of those men, if they take the time, ONE TIME, to learn what is going on, the other person will leave them, because they leave loving pepple, and they will leave him for someone who gives them a reason to complain, who ignores her/them, like he used to do, and doesn't any more. 

The Apostle Paul is not saying that if you do this anything good will come of it. Primarily, he is saying that people abuse religion to abuse everyone, and that his churches remove those members so that they cannot be used to ause, or abused, to abuse. 

No. The only thing that the Apostle Paul was saying would be the desirable outcome, and it's NOT a better, improved, or good outcome, is that the toxic bullshit will get sorted and stopped. And that's not a good thing, if it succeeds. It is less of a bad thing. And not good at all. It's less bad.
