I do not criticize Christians for their beliefs. I do not agree with them......but beliefs are good. If the Ten Commandments are the only thing that is keeping some of these nutjobs from killing and stealing.......go Christianity!
I have a problem with religion in general. I do believe that people having their own personal beliefs to be a good thing........but I despise organized religion as it has nothing to do with a person's own beliefs. A person will have the same beliefs whether they are a member of a church or not. The function of the church is for people who believe the same to get together to reassure one another that their beliefs are right. If a person truly believes in something......why do they need to be reassured by others? When these people get together and reassure one another their beliefs are right.......they automatically assume all others are wrong by process of elimination. If your belief is right then all beliefs that are different must be wrong. This leads to superiority complexes (which many Christians suffer from....the phrase "he thinks he's holier than thou" didn't just pop out of nowhere without reason)....and in many situations, violence. So much violence in history would have been avoided if there was no such thing as religion........if people just believed what they want to believe and be content in their beliefs without having to form a gang with others who share the same beliefs.
I do not have a problem with Christians in general. My parents are Christians. I have a problem with SOME Christians........those who proclaim their beliefs to be fact and speak of them as so. You know, the kind of people that when a subject comes up they're like, "the bible says this so this is how it is" instead of "i believe that ______".
Beliefs.....good. Ideas....good. Religion....bad, no need for it and resultes in conflict and/or violence.

I'll leave them alone...When they stop trying to shove their archaic, preposterously ridiculous, scientifically disproved, prejudiced, homophobic, sexist religious beliefs down my throat.Christians have become increasingly aggressive when it comes to domestic and foreign policy. They are influencing the bans on gay marriage, gay adoption, stem cell research and their support of the Iraq war (a war that will feel will protect Israel) is absolutely deplorable!
Christians are a greater threat to America's future than middle eastern terrorists!
Thats about the most low brow idiotic thing Ive hered.
I believe the conflict lies in the nature of humanity. I do not believe it is a matter of Christian and non Christian. Humanity at its very base nature has the need to form a belief system, when other people disagree with that belief system, you will find a back and forth dispute or bashing system will take place. It happens with everyone, in many different areas. It is not limited to Christianity.
No one should do that any faith.Just because we don't understand something does not mean we have to say something bad about that faith.
That is why we ask questions guys.So we can understand it better.How would you like to be made fun because of what you believe in?The more we understand each others faith the better!JM
