Church.

The reason that traditional Church authorities do not know God is that when Christianity became the state religion the leaders of the Church adopted the carrot and stick approach of the worldly powers.

This approach is designed to keep the masses under control.

And much of the Church's traditional teaching has been twisted to achieve this end.

But it is based on fear and a dim view of humanity.

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

And this is the reason why.
