Organized religions claim they preach peace... meanwhile condoning attacks on each other.
Organized religions love to take a chunk out of other religions, regardless of how closely related they are.
Organized religion is one of the best sources of really stupid quotes.
I don't have to do a thing, religion attacks itself.

His biggest enemies, and the ones whom had him crucified, were the established religious orders of the day; pharisees, saducees, and scribes.

Bingo!!!! That is exactly what most "Christians" don't understand. I am glad to see that I am not the only one that sees.

Just because the Catholic Church was put into place to keep order in mid century Rome and so forth. Doesn't mean that all Organized Religion is of such consequence. I mean ... SHOW ME one other religion that has ever said this is what to believe and this is what to do because we read it here ... and you are not allowed to read it from there yourself. ... BEATS anything I have ever heard .... NO wonder there were so many Travesties whenever Catholicism was FULL FLEDGED ...

I think what was to make Jesus different from other humans, (without getting into a trinity arguement) is that he is supposed to be the only human without sin and there for the only human that could pay for humanitys sins as a perfect sacrifice upon the cross.
not sure on that havent studied the bible in a while

Jeeeeeeeeeze .... :shk:
To be a 'true church' in Catholicism one must have apostolic succession. Without it you are 'a church' but not 'a true church'.
The Catholic Catechism says that ALL CHRISTIAN FAITHS have some truth, to varying degrees, in them. The Catholic Catechism also says that only the Catholic faith has it all correct and is therefore 'THE church'.
