Well dude, you could say the same about all religions. They all became big with books.
But what you gotta do is look behind that book. Who wrote it and why? Then you have to take a look at man's own history and judge for yourself what you can believe in and what you can't.
Christianity didn't just become big because of the Bible. If you look at when the gospels were written and the book was created, you will find that the religion was around a long time before that. The Bible seems to have been used to bind it together as there were many different factions and types of Christianity back then - some orthodox and some gnostic.

At the end of the day, it's up to you what you believe in though. But you can never disrespect a religion because you don't believe in it. After all, the whole thing is about belief and faith and not necessarily what you might call fact. Who is to say that you are right and they are wrong (or vice-versa) apart from God himself?

Science and logic are in there. But you also can take the spiritual aspect and work on that. Sometimes people experience things that may not be logical to you but are perfectly logical to them. Nobody said that God is logical and who knows how he works on different people?
Religion seems to work the same way. It's not always logical either but that doesn't necessarily make it wrong. Maybe there is a perfect logic at work that nearly all people aren't advanced enough to see - after all, for most of man's history in the West, he believed the logic that the Earth was the centre of the Universe.
Maybe some religions hold physical secrets that justify them.
Who knows? The old saying goes that "God works in mysterious ways". It's up to you to find out what those ways are and to make up your own mind.

1.The Parallels between religions are so numerous its incredible that in history this topic was not discussed.

2.The fact of the matter is, Christianity is as spiritual as all other beliefs often defined as such.

3. Most ancient systems of belief sugest that people from other worlds placed us on this earth. In and of itself, this if true, does not deny the existence of a God as described or contemplated as a being, which is uncreated.

4. Divide and conquer is one philosophy, divide and cause the divided to kill each other and claim they have permission from God is another.

5. The Universe exist the way it does as a result of a balance of forces, why would anyone think we are any different and why would anyone try to make it different?

6. Good things happen to people, bad things happen to people and evil things happen to people. More often that not the last one, when it occurs, it has something to do with semantics.

7. The Universe is theorized to be 62(2) 10 billion light years in size, about 10 to the 1028 meters from here there is another just like it. With respect to religions, the levels of energy in question even in regards to what is known (14 billion light years in circumference) has not been suggested.

To conclude that religion is right in this respect, bespeaks of one who is not taking into consideration, the record of history, in regards to how in the past reality has been described.

8. There is no such thing as a religious belief, which has suggested that killing for God is not a sin.

Despite that fact, that in regards to what in general are commandments, in each faith, does not make any such suggestion that killing for God imbues one with protection.


9. If a prophet can forgive you for your sins does that mean that he can punish those who do not believe in him because of the sins he forgave?


10. Coveting what another possesses is a sin, using religion as an excuse to covet, is more than just a sin (In respect to sins you could say this one
is priceless).

11. Numbers 4 and 10 happen every day on earth.

Any thoughts?

Man!
Thats how it spread.
Like most religions it spread with powerfull leaders sending missionaries to the known and unknown world.
Remember Prince Ashoka?
He spread Bhuddism through most of India, tibet, and China, and I also think Japan?
