Okay, Christian. Jesus taught tolerance - something you're showing none of here.
If a person's beliefs do not hurt you (which mine don't, since it's "phony", right?), leave them be.
This is just more evidence that supports Christianity being against peace...and tolerance.
Next thing you know, this moron will be saying that Buddhists are Satanist cult leaders; and meditation is invoking the devil... oh, by the way, Jesus
meditated, so that won't work.
Since you've bashed my beliefs, so I shall bash yours. Yes, I was once Christian, and I left. Why?
1) Christianity is a selfish religion. If there were no eternal reward (heaven) for acting (yes, ACTING) like a good person, how many people do you
think would still be Christian? Not many, I'd bet.
2) Christianity is a religion that cannot function without fear. Fear of God, hell, Satan, etc. - fear is just another great form of intolerance. If
fear didn't exist in Christianity, the religion wouldn't function properly.
3) I was verbally and physically harrassed for choosing to no longer be Christian.
"If you don't bother the bee, the bee won't bother you" - we've been taught this from childhood, yet nobody seems to grasp it... how ignorant can
people possibly get? Nobody appreciates preaching, too bad Christians can't figure this out...
Moderators: I ask that this topic be locked, because I know that this is going to get out of hand if it goes on for much longer.
