You're being a bit antagonistic. It's one thing to have a viewpoint that thinks religion is silly. It's another to attack people for having religion. Curb yourself.

Some do. But not all do. It's no better for you to stereotype all Christians and lump them into one group and then attack them as people. Their faith has a lot of problems with it- I agree on that. But this doesn't elevate you to a position of superiority just because you don't believe in it.

WTF? Who is using Christianity to rule the world? Have you been smoking whatever it is Deano's smoking? And what makes you think you can stop thousands of years of religious tradition by posting on KMC, anyways?

Christianity rules the world because Christians/ Europeans conquered it
If Europe revered some other religion like for example Mithraism then we would praise Mithra.

That didn't answer my questions in the slightest. But who cares about Georgia? That's not exactly the heart of the West there. People from Georgia aren't exactly what I'd call progressives.

Apparently you're just waking up and discovering the world or somethig: religion in many different forms (Many of which are far more extreme than anything you've ever encountered in modern days) persisted since the dawn of civilization. I don't consider Georgia to be the battleground between "us" and "them". Really, I don't like the place so I could care less. And I don't see anyone ruling Africa; it's a hotbed of disease and civil war. Religious or atheist, I don't see either side doing their duty to humanity and helping that continent.

Hate leads to hate. There is no good that can come from hate.

Wesker
Agreed. It's a vicious cycle.

And religion isn't the problem; it's a symptom. The world is corrupt and evil. Religion provides comfort and hope. Don't hate that. Work to end that corruption and evil.

All things have good and evil in them. To eradicate evil is to turn good into evil. A balance is what is needed.

While it is true that more war has been fought over religion then any other cause in the world, Don't be naive as too believe if there was no religion we would be in a golden age Humans would just find something stupid to fight about war is part of human life.

Yes, but why have contempt for him? You should feel sorry for him, but I think that is not how you feel. Am I wrong?

Good and evil is in the eye's of men, positive and negative aspects would be the correct term.

I use the words that I think people will understand. Positive and negative are fine words, but I am referring to yen and yang.

Wars have always been about power and money.

Correct and religion is about money and power as well look how powerful the church was.

Nope..no contempt..if I tell him the truth..that truth being that he's an a**hole, perhaps that will help him change. That's what love is about.

But then again, perhaps he won't change after hearing the truth. But at least he'll never be able to say that someone didn't tell him he was an a**hole when that final day of judgement comes...Get it? wink

Just a little food for thought.

Maybe it is a cultural difference, but I consider calling someone an "a**hole" a contemptuous act.

Cultural difference. It all depends on what your motivation is behind using the word. If I call you an "a**hole when you're about to get run over by a car, and you jump out of the way..would that mean that the act of calling you an a**hole was contemptuous?

A bit more food for thought...wink

Like,

Do Saturn, Uranus and Neptune exist? Or have they been made up all this time?

If a tree falls and no-one can hear it, does it make a sound?

They're other question like yours. Can't be answered.

How come all these christians say ass hole?

leonheartmm
most christians dont know themselves what their relegion teaches and whats really going on with god, christ, the holy spirit and at the same time, the one GOD.

a name sake christian...they shld learn the CATECHISM

I'm christian because I realized I was a sinner six years ago and I needed redemption for all my sins. Jesus was the only one who could offer me redemption.

Ecc. 12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

I SUPER AGREE...totally late, but i was just reading this thread, and i was like WHAT THE CRAP?!
i'm not a bible hugger, and i don't want to bash anyone, but i just want to say, RELIGION IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF WARS! WESKER WHOEVER YOU MAY BE I AGREEE! and, the person who commented afterwards, hate leads to hate.
all wars are caused by are the search for power, and that is why i agree.
And about the gullibelness(spelling!) of Christians, it's called Blind Faith. You believe in it because you just do, no matter what the cost, or how unrealistic it may seem. mad

Although religion plays a role, so do a variety of cultural, political and historical factors.
Leaders use differences over faith as a way of sowing hatred and mobilising support for political wars. Religion sometimes is a cause for conflict, sometimes it simply helps sustain conflict, and other times it is used as a pretext for conflicts that have deeper roots in other issues.

finti
protestant ones huh

debbiejo
Yeah, something else that was borrowed from the Catholic church...catechisms. (forms of indoctrinations)
