Why people say it is a bad religion, I have no idea. But they have a typical Christian belief, that Christ is the Son of God and that he came to earth to atone for everyones sins. The thing that is different than most other Christian religions is the book in addition to the Bible, The Book of Mormon. Go to www.lds.org or www.mormon.org and it has really detailed info on the church and beliefs. Hope that helps!

People are closed minded.  I am an atheist with one atheist friend and one pagan friend, and the rest of the people I associate are Christians, and I know how people must react when you say you are pagan, many people freak out when they find out I am an atheist.  They do because you are different, because you challenge their beliefs and make them wonder "hmm, is it really true?"  And so they resent you and I for that.

They sure seem to have some different opinions about God don't they Kennyboy.\n\nThey all want to be right.\n\nIf they can't even agree amongst themselves, how are the rest of us supposed to believe that this stuff is the truth?\n\nLove and blessings Don

They tend to think other religions are crazy  like their beliefs are proven.All religions believe in the supernatural that has no proof,what makes them superior?

I'm an atheist. Reading all of your answers there are obviously many people who KNOW that there is a god.\n\nMy little girl knows that there is a god too - just like that there is a Santa and Unicorns and Dragons... You get the point. Apart from that all my friends, who go to church, are people with problems - horrible marriage, depression, feeling of loneliness, etc. With them I get the impression that they need something else for guidance and I think they want to believe rather than really know.\n\nIt's not for me, but hey, if it makes them happy.

This question is easy\n\nAthiest belive to be like God or either are God according to antone lavey book of satan he teaches them to be like God so anyone who wants to be like God is a devil worshiper.\n\nJews dont except christ as there lord and savior and God said no one can go through me unless they go through my son.\n\n\nAlls we have now is muslims and mormons?\nMormons are not bad people but they dont\nworship Jesus they worship there church fact.\n\nMuslims are good people as well but they dont follow jesus\nthey follow allah remember the saying about Jesus\nand God are one please come again lol.

I think that people have the same religion when they allow the religion's teachings to tell THEM what to think, instead of thinking for themselves.  \n\nI think there are as many religious denominations as there are thinking people.

To believe in one God doesn't mean it should become a part of any religion or the "Creator" meant in each religion is not the same.\nMost of people think that their religion is the right one only because of their FANATICISM to their own faith. and most of them so intolerant to the other religions is only because of their EGO. That is a human characteristic.\n\nI came from Arabian family, my father,a Palestinian is Christian and my mom, a Lebanese is Moslem but we live so tolerant and respect to the difference of our faith. We belive that we pray to the only one same GOD, the creator of this universe.

I think its because religions are polemic.\nReligion is not like sports, were both gymnastics and weight-lifting could be right; or fashion, were both black shoes or pink ones would go with a pink dress and black jacket. (Even though it's barely acceptable to wear a dress and a jacket... (It's SO last season...))\nTo have one religion is to say all others are wrong. Even atheists feel attacked when someone believes a religion, because in doing so, they're implying the atheist is wrong.\nEven in Wicca religions, that supposedly embrace diversity (any Wiccan can be at the same time anything he/she wants), believers are implying that other religions are wrong since they don't let you have more than one religion.\n\nSo really, religion is like a stubborn king, because it refuses to cooperate with other kings and believes he is the only one who should be in the throne. Which cannot be proved wrong because the throne is so narrow...\n\nAnd again, some Wiccan is probably going to stand up offended and say "Any one could be Wiccan and Catholic--" or somehting-- "at the same time!"\n\nBut the truth is that every religion has a set of statements and saying they hold true is saying another religion's don't. I.E.- I've never seen and never expect to see a religion that says "Oh, this other religion is a true religion too, so you can switch between religions if you want. There's honestly no reason why you should choose one and not the other"\n\nSo by being into a religion--or rather, by not being into a certain religion, you offend everyone who is. That's why everybody has something polemic to say, because the nature of the religions is polemic. They don't just say a point is wrong, they say the person who made it is.\n\nHolding a stand is inevitably saying all other stands are wrong. Go ahead, say I'm wrong. Sooner or later you'll get it.

LOL. I'll try to keep this short considering the answers you've already gotten. I'm an agnostic too, and have read and researched about different Monotheist religions. Now, people may not agree with me, but most of these religions have the same basic philosophy. That is, do no wrong, love thy neighbor, obey God, and thou shalt go heaven. The trouble, I've noticed, usually arises when the ritualistic side of religions pops out. It is mostly here that the main arguments stem from. \nIn essence all, relgions are continuations of each other.

Every religion (not everyone INVOLVED in the religion) teaches that all other beliefs other than their own are wrong.  Do all people take this to heart?  No.  I have met a lot of Christians and others who at least respect the fact that I am an Atheist.  Would they really rather me be their religion, of course.  They just know it's not going to happen any time soon.\n\nAlso, a lot of these people fear difference, and were taught to tell everyone and spread the word of their god.  However, they were never told how, so they feel they need to shove it down our throats or try to scare us by condemning us to their hell thinking it will change our minds.\n\nKeep strong, and ignore all the negative people.  Surround yourself with good people of all religions that respect you for who you are.  Remember though, don't throw all religious people in one pile.  Some are better than others!  Stay strong!  Don't let them get to you!\n\nJust laugh it off.\n\nGood luck!

Many different people have different beliefs. I believe that God is around no matter what your doing. He is even around when you think. God knows what you are going to do and who your going to do it with weather it be sex, education, theft, or murder before you do it. However, all things happen for a reason, even the bad things.

Because we are not about judging others beliefs and religions. We even pratice alot of other religions not just one. I also believe that god, he/she is way too big, he/she is in about every religion there is, maybe different intents and different paths.. but all really leads to same god/goddess's. I dont believe in "evil" or a right or wrong way to anyones path. Everything we do and everything we learn is definetly a lesson being learned and taught in most religions and beliefs. I dont believe in judging anyone because god, he/she does not judge anyone, we do enough of that ourselves.

Some people really dont know what religion is. Sometimes you just have to break it down, cause if someone told you about something and you didnt understand, and then they said something to describe then you would say ok yes that place. In some part of the world, people dont believe in that and talk about it. And i am not one to judge to say whether i believe the person is a christian.

I do not think there are than many people bashing God.  there are a few here, since they can get a rise from many people.  In general the number is the same as always.  Do not worry, if your God is correct he wills over come all.  Plus, all that is asked for you to keep your faith.  You are not accountable for others faith.  They do not have to believe as you do for you to go to heaven.  Leave them alone and let them say as they do.

There are many religious people who simply believe what they're told to believe, they don't analyze it or question it, and if someone tells them that someone who doesn't believe in God is an enemy of God, they know from prior knowledge that the only enemy of God is Satan and so people who are the enemy of God must be worshippers of Satan.\n\nNot to say, at all, that any of this is true or believable, but that's the cultish Christian mind-state.

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.
