Short 2000 year stint? Very few things last 2000 years, and of those that have none can be said to have had more influence on the world than Christianity.
I totaly agree that there is very little but christianity seems to be the most greedy of most religions although I see Islam as getting more perverted but that may be due to the christian leadership of the western world seeemingly thinking it has some sort of authority (which it doesn't).
And I challenge you to show me something, anything, that has been around 2000 years and not been perverted by greedy men to better their own situation.
Because I find that christianity is the biggest source of dissent within the world today. The muslims are just as pissed off with the christian leadership with the "my way or the high way" attitude. Christianity has NO right nor authority to suggest such things due to it being a false religion and even if it wasn't it still has no authority.
Why do you single out Christianity? Why do you harbor so much hate in your heart? Is it because you are searching for something to fill the void?
Yes loved by my family and friends not by some invented deity that a minority of people believe exists - you tend to forget that there are over 20,000 christian denominations who disagree in one way or another in some way. Which other religion has such divisions? NONE, just goes to show eh?
You’re hurt, and you are lashing out, but you are still loved.
Its really a pity that swearing is prohibited on this site or you would have at least 100 profanities sent towards you against your reply. Christianity has killed more people in one way or another than any other religion. Only disease has killed more but then again isn't religion a disease that infects the mind?
Do you deny that christianity has had a role in the division of the world?
Yes, this I deny.
Yes just as the worlds religions continue to do so today
Just as with anything that has been around that long you can point to dark (on the inside) men who have attempted to pervert it for their own good.
Why do christians feel they have the monopoly on morals and ethics (swear words again). Well before the supposed jesus these values were in use. It seems even jesus stole stuff from the buddhist way of thinking.
However if one follows the word of the Christ as he spoke it, one will be filled with love, understanding, peaceful intentions, humbleness, charity and good will towards all men be they Christian or not.
I agree that man would find some other way to subjegate the populace if not for religion but religion seems to be the best way so yes religion is a scourge on humanity.
Its not as if I hate individual christians themselves hell my family are christian but the religion itself is a scourge on humanity as is every other.
No, like I said, the religion is no scourge. The few men who have used it poorly are the scourge.

Oh yes us atheist's cannot think for ourselves. If jesus was the messiah WHY DON'T THE JEWS RECOGNISE HIM AS SUCH. Why didn't jesus fulfill the prophicies of the 'Hebrew Bible' Oh and while we're at it why did the christians change the ages of the patriarchs, I refer you to the septaguint version of genesis (which was used by the early christian leaders) If you care to check, it seems that the ages of begatting children are TOTALLY different to whats normally considered in the christian genesis, in fact if you calculate it out methuselah outlived the flood by 14 years(while still living to 969 years) but the christian version has him dying at the time of the flood - so convenient isn't it?

It pretty much sounds like you are simply regurgitating something you read on the web or perhaps in a book. The truth is that the christian faith is much deeper than this and is well supported by hundreds of old testament prophecies. If you care to dig deeper you can look at this site.

Oh I forgot that christianity seems to be immune to criticism - oh Satan made this #e up to try and debunk christianity (swear words). The fact that the main proponents of christianity were PAGAN'S (hmmm Paul of Tarsus whom BTW constitutes nearly 50% of the writings in the NT, Emperor Constantine who supposedly converted on his death bed) and the total similarities to virtually every pagan religion that went before and even at the same time as it. Did you notice that when christianity became the main religion that all other pagan religions and un orthodox christians were persecuted? I wonder why?
Jesus is not pagan and is not a pagan myth. Rather it works the other way around. So called scholars deliberately mistranslated their egyptian and culled thousands of disparate sources to find vague similarities to the gospel. They then declared that Jesus is borrowed from pagan myths. Unfortunately for them, archeology fully supports both the old and the new testament.

Exactly. Any Christian would believe someone of any other religion would be better off by embracing Jesus and becoming a Christian.
