Thread: My Insight On Christianity..

I have noticed that people often don't respect each others faiths, and just like to argue.A lot of them are spiteful and prejudiced. And Christianity upsets me, because Christians believe they get to Heaven by Jesus being crucified.This is just soo unfair..He never did anything to deserve this, and they just take advantage of his bloodshed..And they don't really believe it has anything to do with being a good person, and a lot of them blaspheme. I can't believe their attitude..They wouldn't like to be crucified, but they can actually insult someone who was, while at the same time taking advantage of his bloodshed..It's horrible. Now I love Jesus; I really think he was amazing, and I love the Virgin Mary and the saints too..In fact, I really want to be friends with them! But now that I've seen what Christians are like, I am not a Christian, I just try to serve them by myself. I'm still struggling to get over how horrible those Christians are.Also, many of them have an extremely superficial faith-They consider themselves good Christians, but it's a rigid duty to them-They're really just interested in salvation or in appearing morally competant, but they don't have deep feelings about being a Christian, and it's not because they love him; Often they're more interested in earthly matters.And a lot of them believe that other faiths can't go to Heaven, even if they were very good people. This is absolutely ridiculous-Look at Ghandi, for example...I won't even say any more. A lot of them are just mean old muggles, and they don't understand me at all.Theres a lot more insight I could share,but this is enough for this topic, and any more would be a digression.What does everyone think?

PLZ, note that I am not stereotyping-There are a lot of wonderful and very good Christians, and if you're out there, yiz deserve a gold medal. My negative insight applies strictly to the others (who are a majority), and I just needed to share this.

Jesus didn't exist and Ghandi is probably in hell because he was a extreme racist. The rest was pretty entertaining to read.

^ You can't say with certainty that Jesus as a man didn't exist. In fact I don't have much reason to believe that he didn't (me being an atheist and all).

Oh and I agree with the OP.

A lot of really religious people, those belonging to an organized religion that is, are just plain MEAN. Question their faith for one moment and they start bitching at you and calling you names and telling you you will go to hell.. If you ask me, that's a sign that they are insecure in their own faith. And, you do NOT want to be a part of a religious group that produces a bunch of angry and insecure members.

I think it's way better to just be independent. You'll be a wiser and cleaner spirit for it, and I think you'll make your saints all the happier.

If "Jesus" existed, then he probably had about .1% of the properties ascribed to him in the bible. Probably just a carpenter that talked too much. I'd assume that there were plenty of guys named "Jesus" around that area in that time. Perhaps even multiple carpenters by that name. But if none of them were the son of god or really could do anything but talk, then what's the point?

That's like saying that unicorns exist if by unicorn you actually mean horse.

Dude, it says right there. Don't you read sentences before commenting on them? Ghandi thought blacks were sub-human with no rights and should be used as slaves for Indians which he considered to be the supreme race.

I think a carpenter named Jesus who preached peace and love and had a big following certainly existed.

No need to disregard legitimate history out of contempt for the religion, I say.

...the main source we have is the bible... how would that be a historically legitimate document? It's full of things that can't be true so why assume that anything that could be true is true? There were lots of magicians, frauds, tricksters and lunatics in that time that claimed they were divinely inspired or some nonsense like that. Even if one of them went by the name of Jesus, how is he the Christian Jesus if virtually nothing of what it says about him in the bible safe for some hippyesque remarks that probably got blown way out of proportion can be true.

Are you serious? If that is a fact, it is a liberal's worst nightmare. Damn, Ron Paul and Ghandi hate black people, as does Robert Byrd. The heroes of the left keep turning out to be the "r" word, of all things. It is hard to imagine Ghandi thinking anybody should be a slave. I am going to really look into that one. Wow.

First, link that Ghandi reference you keep stating. Also I asked you why do you think he would go to hell? I didn't ask you what he did.

John the Baptist was a good man and Job was definately a righteous man but according to the scriptures neither will enter the heavens. I'm a Christian and Im certain I'm not going to heaven when I die as a matter of fact you, I, Atheist and other faiths will utimately have the same outcome at the time of death.

Wait why do you think that though?

Well when you die that's it, you cease to exist completely, in the exact same way that you never existed before you were born.

Ghandi is probably in hell because he was a extreme racist.

Not really. He did say some racist remarks, however back then racism was the norm.

In fact, I really want to be friends with them!

Well, we all need imaginary friends. Sorry, but that was too easy to make a joke out off.

What does everyone think?

Atheism is the way forward i.e. having no belifes.

Christianity is a dangerous religion.

Im certain I'm not going to heaven when I die as a matter of fact you, I, Atheist and other faiths will utimately have the same outcome at the time of death.

Death. Nothingness

Alternatively, we could go to clouds and just live for ever, in eternal bliss. Which, is a nice fairy tale.

Exactly.

The bible says that Jesus IS God, so he could have stopped those who were killing him at any time. But he chose not to, taking the punishment for OUR wrong doings, not his own - because he didnt have any.
