Religions by themselves are not necessarily good or evil, but its what men do with it that defines good or evil. \n\nIt is man who created religion. And if you do believe that Christianity is the most evil religion, I offer this, its the people who practiced it who may have been the ones who are evil.\n\nIn the end, most religious faiths have pretty basic tenets with the ultimate one being "Do unto others as you want them to do unto you" or "Do NOT do unto others what you do NOT want them to do to you". This is found in the big Western three as well as in Eastern belief systems. However, like any belief system, people can use it for their own gain and ends.

Christianity by far.  It has the bloodiest history.  Since the creation of Christianity they have been trying to dominate every aspect of religious life around the globe.  ANd violence has been a part of their tactic since the begining.  it cannot be denied its a fact.

I'm a Christian, first of all, and I believe in the existence of Heaven and Hell, but I completely agree with you.  I can't possibly understand how someone could ever be evil enough to, when faced with the reality of God and His presence, turn it away!  Even the worst of the worst -- all have mental problems, like Hitler or serial killers.  It seems like everyone would make it to Heaven.

Welcome to the world of religions. I found that every religion is hypocritical in some way or another, but in the Christian religion, it seems to be the worst. They say G-d is a gentle, and kind being. Yet, he is willing to sacrifice his creation. Kind? Gentle? But then again what can you expect from a religion in which their main item of worship is a torture device(the cross)?

Nope God is not evil.He does not temp good with evil nor can he be evil.Satan is the first person that was evil.Evil is the same thing as sin.Being evil is disobeying God.Their was no evil when it was just God.Only after satan fell and tried to control man and make them evil.

It is obvious to me that the evil in the world does not come from following the teachings in the Bible, but come from ignoring those teachings.  If people loved one another, treated one another as they would like to be be treated, were kind and helpful and did not take advantage of one another, the world would be a wonderful place.  That is the Bible teaching.  Where the people live the commandments of God there is peace and harmony.  This is the God I believe in, love, and will follow.  Satan is the one who spreads dissent, hate, discord, war, and suffering.  Satan wants you to not believe in the Bible.  There is no doubt in my mind who the good guy is, and who is the evil one.

Yes I agree completely.  Christianity is just a dangerous weapon used by leaders for power and control.

Good and evil is a matter of perspective.  Typically, good/evil is regarded as what is beneficial for society.  Of course, what is beneficial for a society varies on a bunch of different factors.\n\nAn example is that in the artic, euthanasia was regarded as good.  The society did not have the resources to care for elderly that were infirm.\n\nAnother:  Homosexual marriage is considered evil in some parts of the United States, but in Ancient Greece, the Spartan warriors encouraged homosexual behavior.\n\nSome major religions list some things as "sinful"; but the entire idea of divine justice/punishment is unnecessary.

they are the extremists, trust me.  Most christians can accept and will respect Judaism as a religion.  However, in the bible, it says that A Jewish man betrayed Jesus.  Thats why *some* christians *hate* Judaism.

christianity is not the oldest religion.\n\nit has been suggested that the wiccan religion is the oldest, and in truth, christian religion has borrowed alot from it. some people also claim that hinduism is the oldest religion because it has the earliest recorded roots which lie in dravidianism. \n\nto answer the first part of your question, people will hold on to what ever belief system that they understand best. not all countries and cultures have been introduced to christianity, so they have developed their own belief system that does not revolve around jesus christ, or christian rituals.\n_____________________\nmainworry, what precise evidence do you have to suggest that christianity is not a religion?

Tell it like it is!! I agree with you! I have ran into some really rotten "christian" people in my life time and a lot of them do not follow the Bible or any teachings until it suits them.

The truth about Good and Evil is that it's in the eye of the beholder. There is no active force of Evil or Good, only progress and lack  thereof.  This is what Adam and Eve learned in the Garden and thats what the Creator God didn't want them to know. One mans Evil is another mans Good and evildoers will always refer to their progress as good.  Those who fallow the creator God are trapped in a world run by these invisible forces and it distracts them from the real world and it's real problems. In reality nothing exists to be feared, only understood. knowing this will set you free forever. God bless Jehova, for he and his children shall never know.

It is a good question, but torture and other evils have been around for a long time.  People can be truly evil.\nWish I had a better answer.

More killing has been done in history in the name of religion than for any other reason.I believe in God without a doubt,but I wouldn't walk into a church if you paid me.It's funny that I find church goers to be the most intolerant folks I've come accross.The people in church may not be evil but yes ,religion is most definetly evil and you can bet satan is happy with the divisions that religion creates.All part of his evil plan.

What you have to remember is that all religions, not just christianity, are based upon the "fact" that they are the only "true" religion.  That's how guilt is purged.  Consider the crusades, christians killed all non-christians, conversion usually being the only option that left you breathing.  Today, muslims kill all non-muslims.  Of course, this does not include every member of that religion.  My personal believe is that the majority of religions promote discrimination, bigotry and ignorance.  If you do not do as the great "enter name here" then you are wrong and deserve nothing better than death and suffering

Yes, it is the worst thing. All of them. Because of religion, we have had crusades, genocides, suicide bombings, all types of holy war. The concept of god has done more harm to man than the invention of the gun. You do not need a religion to fill the voids. You should use your head. The voids make you think, and those that can't turn to religion. When the cave men could not understand lightning (for example), they made up god, so they could just say "God did it". If you need the voids filled, anyone can do it. I could easily make a myth about how the world works, and it would explain everything, I could just say the creator did it. My creator could by a six headed cat. This would be no more ridiculous than god. Science is the only real explanation, not some cult belief in a fairy tail imaginary friend of the human race that is watching all of us.
