It bothers me that any religion is wanting to carry on into the next generation, apart from Buddhism, perhaps, which never hurt anyone.

As long as they are not insulting any other religion, and respecting that other people already may have their own beliefs i think its fine.\n\nAlso they can't be too pushy. I don't like someone elses beliefs being rammed down my throat.

What you've written is what organized "theocracies" have perpetrated since the dawn of recorded history. While the Catholic Pontiffs of yesteryear have acted particularly egregiously, they are not the only examples of how "Cows, Pigs, Wars, & Witches" (- the title of an anti-religious anthology of anthropolgical, cross-cultural studies, written in the 1970's) have come to be enlisted to create fear in the masses and exact control over protracted periods of time. Look at what the "Religious Right" want to do in this country. I suggest you read a book by Kevin Phillips entitled "American Theocracy." In there you can derive the sense that even a country such as ours is vulnerable to these age-old tactics... for example, think on just how effective the "culture of fear" trumped up by the present administration has been in creating an effecient "smokescreen" or deversionary force to escape the public's otherwise probing eyes.

Wow your trying really to get a rise out of Christians. I'll bet you have an account bashing every other culture aswell?

I can only hope they do. If I would believe in prayer, I would even pray for it.\n\nIt seems I'm going to Hell, I can't imagine a God being so cruel that he would again confront me with those hypocritical Christians.\n\nSo, no worries, they won't be in Hell. It will be only good music, good people, good parties and lots of Southpaw. We'll have fun :)

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

Yes.  The right-wingers of Jesus' time were the ones who plotted his death.  They couldn't stand that he hung around with tax gatherers and "sinners", that he rescued an adulteress from stoning, that he accused them of putting heavy loads on men's backs and not lifting a finger to help them carry those burdens.  Also, they couldn't stand that he claimed to be the Messiah.\n\nTime and again, when a new idea, such as a new religion or new philosophy, is given to the oppressed people to liberate them, you can guarantee that 1)the powers-that-be will appropriate that religion or philosophy and bend it to their own agendas, or 2) the children of the oppressed, who are freed by the new knowledge, will establish themselves and become comfortable, and a few generations down, will become the oppressors themselves.  It happened in ancient Israel.  It happened time and again in Christianity.  (The Puritans' descendents became the persecutors of the Salem Witch Trials.)  It even happened with Communism.\n\nThere's a Jewish saying: "If God came down to earth, people would break his windows."\n\nI've heard it say, a few decades ago, that if Jesus came today, we'd all be wearing little electric chairs around our necks.  Today, it would be little lethal injection syringes.

it is easy to tell the ansewer to your question is no. look at what others have written and see they have never read the book. in the end times it is Christians that are slaughtered for there faith. the world hate for Christians will reach such a fever pitch, that they killed for admitting their faith. this was not ever said to happen on a certain date. and will be agured about by nonbelievers who will not see the signs of the times.

Christians support  a war?! Well, you won't stop surprising me. Isn't it against your religion?

hahahaha . . .I am laughing at the first guys answers . . . like Christianity doesn't force their religion onto the people . . . lol\n\nIt is immoral . . . and so is religion . . . look at what all religion done in the world through out the centuries.\n\nPeace be with you . . .

God probably wouldn't care as long as you are following the law that he or she put forth in the Scriptures. It's just that over the years Christians have manipulated the meanings of these Scriptures to endorse their bullshit and the way they treat people.

Not all prophecy comes from reliable sources. Those who see the future can also change it.Etc. Some things might just be misinterpreted. Maybe we won't need anymore religious leaders then. Hopefully we won't be converted to Islam.

Hahaha. I can tell you for a fact they (the Christian people, at least) would not. Their book literally prevents them from ever accepting world peace. And, in fact, if somebody were ever to try and achieve this they would call this person the "anti-christ". Watch the Left Behind movies. Or Omen. They would try to murder the one who would dare try to produce an actual peace in this world. \n\nPeace is the product of reason. Religion is the total opposite.

I'm not sure where you are coming from, particularly in referene to the "details" given, but it is true that Christianity as portreyed in some of these answers does not seem too relevant to the 21st century.  Makes me wonder how representative of Christians they really are, though; perhaps it is the unusually fanatical ones that spend their time answering every question with a Bible reference, and give us all a bad case of the heebee jeebees.  Frankly, I can't see anyone converting to Christianity because someone wrote "God is angry with you" in one of these answers.  I did actually get that line in an answer once.  Imagine the arrogance to speak for God to that extent!

damn good question. the sad thing is, there are people who will answer by saying we should accept this because it's part of their god's plan.

You're quite right - and you have to consider how many of these people ahd political agendas of their own to fulfill. If there is any more doubt - how about the fact that the Bible has been editted to include and exclude certain items?
