john 18:[36] Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

My issue with the Christian faith is the close minded view that is generally held. A view that if it is not in the Bible then it can't be true! I recently seen a group on **generic social networking website ** that wanted 1,000,000 Christians to join if they didn't believe in Evolution. The sad thing was almost none of them even researched or tried to understand the subject they just dismissed it because they were told to do so by the church!

There is a God and we should strive to be sinless, but stop inhibiting your right to make your own conclusions based on your own research!

I am not trying to generalize here because I realise some do think for themselves I am just talking about the majority.

That's just an old school viewpoint retarded way. It's imbedded in the mindset of the baby boomers. I enjoyed it when I was at a Lutheran school and someone made the idea that God placed the dinosaur bones for us to find. Wow what a brillint idea. This is when I was an occultist. Why can't evolution be God? Why is that scary to some? Because to most religious people their still afraid of the uncontroled human destiny. Just place me into a church, pray do my communion and let me go. No one wants to talk to God! Why? because they hate what he saids. Because he's honest, harsh and very judging. That's one of the main reason why people hate religion. Religion is a same from a human perspective. So it's even worse! I left the roman catholics for that very reason. They judge, thought they were better, made me pay money (Duh) didn't give communion to children and I had a priest judge me and made fun of me(with the other priest) when I said I get "spiritual tingles". .Evolution may also be scary for us due to the fact that we have so much choice in our own lives that the idea of a God changing us freaks us out. It's like a child not getting what they want. what people are afraid of is combining faiths together to make their unique certain peice of joy.

First off when you say Christians, Who the H. E. double hockey sticks are you referring to?
There are over twenty two denominations and or sects and they are not all the same.

Second, What is your big problem anyway? Is it that we have faith and believe in Christ?
Is it that we Cloth the poor? Feed the Hungry? Comfort the sick?Help the homeless?
(Whens the last time you did that?)

Or maybe its because of our close ties to Judaism and Israel.

FACT: America is a Christian country and was founded on Christian Values.

Our national motto is IN GOD WE TRUST for crying out loud,Which in my opinion is undeniable PROOF that the United States government acknowledges that the God of the Christian Bible exists.

If you have a problem with Christians you have a problem with America. And God knows America does not need anymore problems. So please, just CHILL OUT !!

Mods:please feel free to post where you think appropriate.

HAIL AMERICA, THE GREAT CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.

Please.

America was founded by American Indians, before it was taken over by the current 'tennants', nothing to do with Christianity at all.
I've said this before, and i'll write it again as i think it sums it up pretty well.

Imagine humanity as a human being. Beleif in religion to Humanity is what santa and the easter bunny is to a child.

I think humanity was in a child like state when the many various religions were brought about (not all at the same time i know), the average person was as well educated, and readily rescourced as they are now (internet, library, dvds, etc) and as such easily believed those who were educated or in power, because they knew no better.

For me religion was created on the most part as a way to control societies, (look at the Pope and the Vatican), Heaven was a reward for following the rules, Hell was the punishment.

I truly am amazed that faith in religion has made it to this day and age, i think tradition, and brainwashing at an early age have alot to do with it, (think Santa, and the Easter Bunny - if you, and everyone else for a few generations, didn't tell their children that they didn't exist, you'd grow up beleiving they did.) most people i know were not told to NOT believe in religion, but weren't taken to church either, and as such chose themselves not to believe in any of the options available.

I think it's terrible how Atheism is suddenly being branded a religion by alot of people, it really isn't, and those that think it is are idiotic.

Atheism is the lack of belief in any god.

In saying that everyone is atheistic in some ways, do Christians believe Zeus? Horus? Krishner? No, just in the same way i don't believe in the apparent 'God'. Whats different?

As for the 'do gooding' - why do christians do that? Really..? Christian Values? Are these values not selfish in a way? I mean doing good will send you to heaven won't it?

Where does the US Constitution say anything about Christ, Jesus, the Hokey Spirit, the bible, the cross or any of the other trappings of your blood cult?

Anyone who accepts jesus as their personal saviorand the son of god is a christian.

More because you pervert history, fight science, your leaders rape children, and your voting populace makes life a living hell for a wide variety of people.

Or maybe its because of our close ties to Judaism and Israel.

More because your holy book tells you that you need to support Israel so jesus can come back and destroy every Jew on earth.

FACT: America is a Christian country and was founded on Christian Values.

Remember what I said about perverting history?

Our national motto is IN GOD WE TRUST for crying out loud,Which in my opinion is undeniable PROOF that the United States government acknowledges that the God of the Christian Bible exists.

Actually our national motto is E Plurbis Unum. Out of many, one. "In God We Trust" was added to our currency during the civil war, to paint the Rebs as "godless.". Same reason "one nation under god" was contrived in 1953, to spite the commies.

If you have a problem with Christians you have a problem with America. And God knows America does not need anymore problems. So please, just CHILL OUT !!

Way I figure, if I have a problem with christians, then my problem is with the biggest problem America has. After all, here you are claiming exclusive rights to the country because you think your religion entitles you to do so.
