What is more powerful. Media or Religion??

[BrothaZay]

Both are the 2 biggest mind controlling devices in history.

Historically religion has been more powerful but I think as of recent(like the past coupel decades) Media is more powerful.

I think I read on here, that a poster said one of his friends from those dangerous ass south america countries said that the people who live in those slums are SCARED to come to american hoods, because of how negative black men are portrayed.

That about sum'd it up for me how powerful the media really is.

Media because eventually someone can say "I don't believe in this religion anymore." Plus media controls how we perceive religions.

Yall must not realize that religion controls the world. Most conflicts are over religion and most societies and even governments were built on religion. Even look at it from a financial aspect, our currency says in god we trust and think of how significant it is that the largest banks are controlled by jews. The difference is, media is in the forefront and religion is in the background, but religion has a much much bigger influence.

So you guys really think the media influences our daily lives more than policy makers with religious agendas? Or corporations and organizations with leaders who lead by faith and ignorance?

Things that go blatantly unchecked by the American public each day are reported by the media. I'm trying to make the most sense but not in my best state atm

media easily... it continuously evolves and adapts to whatever the agenda of the people behind the scenes want to accomplish. Media propaganda can have an impressionable individual hating or loving something without questioning it.

The things that do go unchecked go so because of the media.

Laws are being passed daily that affect our rights and privacies as citizens, but it goes uncontested because the media turns the blind eye. Yet they can cherry pick some minor (in comparison) issue and blow it up to a magnitude of epidemic proportions.

Not to mention the righteous image they feed us of US military campaigns, and most the country eats it up like we're the superman villian-fighter of the world.

Yet have a real talk with anybody from any 2nd/3rd world country, or anybody who was in the military and they will tell you of the violent massacres, resource pillaging, coup fueling, sneaky underhanded back alley stickup type acts the US does overseas.

...and this is merely the tip of perceptions created by the media that stand strongly in society today.

Religious media

religon is the worst invention ever. media jedi mind tricks will never come anywhere near the atrocities that went/go down in the name of religion.for every one person religion "saves" three people have died in its name

religion has been holding mankind back since its invention. How many forward thinkers got called heretics and burned/hung/murdered in the dark ages. religous people fight stem cell research nowadays. we talking research that can fix multiple health problems and birth defects and religious nuts are against it. Its easy to say "god made that kid deaf,dumb, and blind for a reason" when its not your kid.
