Diet Coke is better than regular Coke
THis statement cannot be backed up, mine can.
C'MON!
I'LL KILL EVERY ONE OF YOU!!
lol
I take your point man! (I derserved that)
you have provided the resources which say "christ is the giver of life" but where does it say "Mohammed was the taker of life"
K, i don't know how familar you are with the history of Islam. But Mohammed was a warrior in every literal sense of the word.
I do not wish to join this religious debate but as I said I have a good friend (coming onto 12 years now) whose a Muslim, and a proud Brit, (as well as being the biggest pansy I know )
Hey, so do I, and I respect them and their decision. However I do not agree with it, and I will never just sit back and accept it. (Although I wouldn't force it down his throat as it would be pointless)
This thread is a big mistake, though. It should never have been started.
Please don't say you're not uncomfortable when I can challenge your thinking TWT.
The point of this thread was to prove that Christianity is not a religion. It is the meaning and purpose of existence.
Organized religion has caused more suffering, wars and violence than any other cause.
Religion (now I hate religionism I am just making sure you know the facts) has caused much, much less deaths than politics.
Yet you will never hear people say "Let's do away with politics" because it would be impossable, likewise, it is the same with religion.
As a History Professor at a Junior college I challenge my classes to comment on the following statement:
Organized religion has caused more suffering, wars and violence than any other cause.
Almost all the students raise their hands in agreement. I then demand that they provide dead bodies as evidence. They usually mention the Crusades and one or two other religious wars they might of heard of but in none of their examples can they come up with a million deaths. (Some scholars used to teach that the Thirty Years’ War in Germany resulted in 8 million deaths, but modern scholars have demonstrated it was more like 200 thousand and in fact the population of Germany actually increased during that war.) I then point out that most of the people who have died as a result of war, have done so in the Twentieth Century and that most of the killing was done in the name of secular ideologies. I then ask them who is the “baddest” of them all. Most guess Hitler. I then tell them that he is rated #3. Some then guess Stalin and I inform them that most scholars place him at #2 with 20 million killed. Almost no one gets #1 who, of course, is Mao who starts with an estimated 40 million. I then point out that the top two were Communists and Hitler was a radical proponent of Social Darwinism. All of these ideologies are based on atheistic systems.
