I think my biggest issue is that most of the people I know feel that if you don't believe in "God" in the general Christian sense (i.e., A singular god -- with or without a son, depending on whether you're jewish) you're going to hell. Well, last I checked, Christianity isn't even the dominant religion on the planet -- it's Hinduism.

I can't believe that a god that's purported to be so nice and whatnot is going to send the majority of people on this planet to hell for not believing in him; and on the flip side, what makes Christianity right and Hinduism wrong? Maybe all the Christians are gonna get slapped around by one of the Hindu gods like Shiva when they die.

Good call -- I thought I remembered reading otherwise, but maybe I dreamed it: http://geography.about.com/od/culturalgeography/a/popularreligion.htm

I'm amending my statement to "there are more members of other religions than there are members of Christianity"

Should define in which way Christianity is dominant.

Mind you that is a very broad 'classification' (for the lack of a better word). For instance, Jehovah's Witnesses call themselves Christian when others (myself included) consider them a cult.

I dont care about religion, i want to base my thoughts on this world against things that can be proven. I'm one of those people that believe hte origins of Religion are from a time when magical things happened, and the people of that time were not advanced enough to explain them. I also believe modern Religion has gone through so many people, each time losing accuracy that what we now now as Religious texts are more likely to be personal exaggerations or fantasies.

However I respect those people who are Religious if it helps them improve their lifes, and helps them give a meaning to why they are here if they need that. I won't accept anyone pressing their Religious beliefs onto others as I classify this into the same class as things like spam mail etc

Religion is about believing, not seeing Herron. Just because you can't see it does not mean it isn't there. Religion is all about believing and faith, no matter what religion you are. And I could be imagining this, but it seems that you dislike christianity. Stupid thread, lock it.

Eiii · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2008, 07:02:03 PM »

Dislike christianity = stupid thread. Noted.

I'm not a fan of any religion, really. Most eastern religions I don't mind at all, but the more prominent western ones seem more destructive at their worst.

If you can't see something, it's not there.

Chemical test showed us what other gases were in air besides O2, not our eyes. Our eyes only helped read the results.
