Christianity does not exist. Well, it doesn't exist in the institutionalized form we see today. There are still a few remnants of Chrisitanity among individuals, but the overall theme of it in institutional form is deeply rooted in paganism and/or new age. The institution of Christianity is a joke! Even some of those who call themselves fundamentalist are still wrapped up in the institution.
Christianity was never meant to be a religion. It was meant to be a way of life. Christians were supposed to show the love of Christ. It is their lives and the example of how they live that was supposed to bring mankind to repentance for their deeds; not words.

Christianity is also one of the most distorted religions. It has been exploited for profit and personal agendas of hate and war.
Why not Buddhism or Paganism?

well as for the constructive critisism when you said brunt of the jokes you either mean butt of jokes or bears the brunt of them. anyhow christianity is mostly attacked because it is the real religion, jesus says in John 15:15 (i think) 'if the world hates you remember that it hated me first' he also says somewhere in John 'i have told you these things so that in me you may have peace, in this world you will have trouble, but i have overcome the world' these two statements show that Jesus knew we were going to get alot of slack from everyone. as i said above people bag out christianity because its the way, you dont hear people say oh my buddha do you? thats because its human nature to rebel against God and the God of christians is the only God.

the 'good' people as you call them do not like the thought of the 'bad' people going to hell. a true christian's heart breaks when they think of people they know going to hell. as does God's

I believe people of other faiths shouldnt be put to death. I don't believe homosexuals should be put to death. I believe they should be treated the same as any believer. Just because they have different beliefs or lifestyles does not mean they are not of the same creator.
