So Gandhi, Dalai Llama = Hell?

Many, many good people are rotting in hell right now because they didn't believe in Jesus?

And there's nothing wrong with this?

First as a child and then continuing on into my adult life I have always thought, "what is there outside of our lifes?". If we all (humans) didn't exist then what else is there? If there were no conscientious by any creature on earth would earth and life still exist?

Darwin's theory of evolution supercedes the story of creation, the New Testament's gospels were written some many years (and centuries) after the 'life of Jesus', and large swathes of the bible are known to be historically inaccurate.

Furthermore God has never shown himself in anyway throughout recorded history.

Isn't it ludicrous to think there is a God?

Jesus told me to treat everyone the way I want to be treated. I want to be treated with respect. He also said that I should be kind to my neighbors. Many of my neighbors come from other religions. Should I be kind to them or should I be an intolerant fundamentalist and behave as if God loves me more than them? It looks like the fundamentalists have fun ignoring the teachings of Christ. Should I join them in creating a new form of Christianity? Or should I continue being reasonable with my neighbors of all beliefs?

I'm not looking to shoot anyone down. I'm just looking for a little inspiration. Any experience with God that has left a lasting impression on you.

Nothing in any of the gospels fixes the date of Jesus' birth. The early church simply did what it was very good at, stealing and neutralizing the traditions of other religions and cults. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus as either December 25th, the birthdate and festival of the resurrecting God-man Indo-Iranian Mithras (originally Mithra, the name changes to Mithras for numerological reasons, just as Yehoshua is Joshua in the old testament and Jesus in the new, so the Greek name has numerological significance), or January 6th, the birthdate and festival of the resurrecting Egyptian God-man Osiris-Aion, born of the virgin Isis (the Black Madonna of so many “Christian” statues).

There were festivals and celebrations at the time of the winter solstice long before there was a Christian church, for a couple of centuries at least before Jesus may have lived. The early Roman Church simply commandeered all shrines and festivals to itself. Places where pagan goddesses gave oracles became shrines of the blessed virgin Mary. Temples to Mithra or Apollo became churches, worship and festivals continued as before only the names and a little of the theology changed. What happened in the Greek and Latin worlds also happened in the Celtic, Germanic and Nordic lands. Old gods had their myths and festivals stolen and dressed up as Christian festivals. Celtic heroes became rewritten as Christian Saints. For the most part the people as a whole didn't seem to mind too much. There were still bonfires, feasts, gift-giving and excuses to get drunk. The change from pagan to Christian simply meant business as usual, slightly fewer orgies but just as much tax and as many idle priests as ever. Many old traditions and superstitions lived on and were Christianized. The people were still as irrational and superstitious as ever.

The Christmas that we celebrate today is a mix of old pagan traditions such as evergreen decorations and feasting coupled with an often neglected Christian gloss and overlaid with more modern secular humanist and consumerist traditions.

If a Christian sins, it is against his will. One who is regenerate falls rather than dives into sin; he resists rather than embraces it. Any dead fish can float downstream. It takes a live one to swim against the flow. Christians still experience temptations and can sometimes fall into sin, but they are no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:6). They have God’s Holy Spirit within them to help them say no to temptation, and to convict their conscience of wrongdoing when they do sin.

If Chritianity is as great as it is, why is it fighting other religions. Why does it have to be defended. Or why would it need defence. I once met a preacher who carries a pistol. But I see this seems to be no different than a great nation who is secondary religion first primary defence. To me it seems like the christian religion has somehow wrapped itself around politics. I met a lady who thinks that no one would follow a preacher if all he could get to church with is a bycicle. Where has Chrisianity gone. I surely don't think that is what Christ meant. Christanity seems to be different than being a christian. It has allowed for everyone to take what they like and ditch the rest. It has excepted people who have no intentions of being a Christian but need a christian image to survive in a christian country. I think politics effect Christianity, making them comform to the people they are trying to reach. I don't think that Christ was intending for it to go that way. Elaborate.

Okay first off read the rest before yelling "NO!"

So Satan is the ultimate deceiver? True.

Worshipping false idols is number one on God's naughty list? True.

So why would Satan become a false idol? Think about it, live the "perfect" life, and say God-like things, and perform miracles to get people to believe in "Jesus". Now he has all these people now "false-idol worshiping" therefore all the Christians will go to hell right?

So again before you blast me, feel free to show me evidence that this hypothetical scenario is so far off base that I'm an idiot.

But think about it logically, it makes sense, and it would be a great plan. And if your answer is "God wouldn't allow it" i have two words: Job, AIDS

When christians put forth their beliefs, atheists say prove it, you are mindless and not capable of intelegent thought, there is no GOD and my favorite is "science". Give me your intelegent view on how we came about, and we will see what is more logical. All people have a history and a starting point, the bible is ours, where is yours.
