If people with to be Christian (which I am) then what harm is it to anyone?

Christians believe in some things, if others don't then fine.

But why the need to bash Christianity and show all this fury towards people for believing in something?

My point was about him trying to "convert me".

Why? No atheist represents any other atheist because all atheism is is a lack of belief in a deity.

On the other hand xtianity is supposed to be so high and moral and yet ppl like you go around lying - it really does give it a bad name.

Reply #530 - Jan 10^th, 2013 at 8:40am The Antichrist thinks he is a Christian too, my understanding of what I read is that he...the Antichristian genuinely believes he is a christian and doing Gods work when he kills the innocent....

no, because you are so incredibly stupid that any position you take is 99% likely to be wrong. sanding up for the atheist side automatically imputes credibility for Christianity because you are so often wrong.

The fact that you don't understand this argument does in part, prove my point.

He's not trying to convert you, idiot. He's giving you an understanding of what it might mean to be Christian - an answer you asked for.

Nonsense, you take an anti-Christian view on hundreds of posts.
If you don't believe in Christianity then fine, but if others want to - why take such an opposing view to them?

It's no different to the Greens Party.
They dislike the Church and will oppose something just because the Church supports it.

So. 34 pages so far and nobody has told us what it means to be an xtian these days.

i imagine for a lot of them , it means finding peace and happiness through surrendering their own small ego's to a greater power. very similar to the concept of AA.

if constantly bickering with people on the internet is not leading you to a feeling of peace and happiness, it might be worth a shot.

as coprorate whitey (in a rare moment of lucidity Wink

said)
the sermon on the mount might be a good place to start.

i would imagine christianity is about having a one on one relationship with christ, not a one on one relationship with some power freak bishop of the inquisition Wink

for bobby et al to be constantly going on about witches and devil worship, whilst at the same time insisting that the bible is the WORD.
well i cant even find the word witch in the bible (not that ive looked).

i agree totally with gold medal re using the internet as a research tool.
you would fail a grade 7 assignment for using even a very good source like wikipedia.

you google witch + devil + evil christian and you'll get as much lunacy as you can handle. a rhesus monkey could publish those results.

read the sermon on the mount, find a nice mountaintop to meditate on and mull it over for a few hours. Wink

Another website claimed up to 75 million.

I think we can safely disregard that figure, don't you?

75 million sees too large but we will never know unless someone
goes through many websites to check.

Maybe we'll set that as a task for Longweekend ? - the Inquisition Denier.

oh dear... a child of the internet speaks! 'go thru websites'??? are you aware that REAL RESEARCHERS dont use the internet and google as their source of primary data?

idiot

At least I post links -
I posted many links & many different estimates.

Your only contribution is to call everyone an idiot.

Its not "anti xtian" to not believe it and to think its silly to believe in invisible beings that control your life. I couldn't care less if you believe in it but its funny all the same.
