it seems the only time that anyone deconverts from christianity is when they really see all the fanatic christians out spreading hate and killing in the name of there god so is it the fall of their own religion?

Definitely. Who wants to associated with that kind of garbage? I believe even their Bible states "to avoid even the appearance of evil". Seems they avoid that verse more than the appearance of "evil". I'm hoping our gov't will go fully secular, take away mainstream religions tax exemptions, make them claim themselves as a business (as that is what they are) and ban religion from the gov't all together. I firmly believe we should keep our "religion" in our homes and leave others to do their own.
I know this isn't going to happen... but one can dream, can't they?

Fanatic? Can anyone be fanatic for the normality?
What fanatic Christian have you met/heard about?
Christianism is a peaceful system so exaltation/hysteria can not appear but only in a peaceful/nonviolent form.
It may appear because of lack of information and the person seem naive to the others. But when she/he finds out the information she/he recovers quickly. That's all .

No the down fall of origanized religon will be education and understanding, and the need to get off this planet when it become apparent to even the most devoted religious that God isn't coming.
religion cannot holdup under education. The Bible has been rewritten once for that reason and there is no where else for the faihtful to go to explain their views.
Islamic rullers rulersare seeking to force their reliigon onto others while they can before the disinbtergration of Islam. which is soon.

It isn't THEIR own religion. Christianity doesn't belong to the fanatics, or any specific group. The fanatics make it look bad for the rest of us, though. I think mainstream (Catholic, Lutheran, etc) Christianity could save us from the fanatics.

It would seem that all who spread hate and violence, at a time when we are all becoming aware of each other in forums like this, are calling attention to themselves in a way they are likely to regret. Spirituality is something we all share. If our religions divide us, then we will need to be asking, sooner or later, why that is happening, and who is directing such an agenda. The religious mind is not about violence, and pitting one against another is not the action that comes out of being religious, but, rather is a violent activity that comes from a very different state of mind and thought. Those serious seekers, of any religion, who find it has been hijacked into violence will want to reclaim its original direction, or perhaps wish to direct their spiritual energies somewhere else.

Are you kidding? Christianity is based on the loving your neighbor as yourself.
Are you convinced that some Christians thrive on spreading hate and killing? If so, you are not dealing from a factual basis but are basing your opinion on a few stupid people who misuse Christianity. Talk to more Christians and base your opinion on what you see first hand.

Where are there Christians spreading hate and killling in the name of God? I'm not sure your question is valid. If one is a Christian, one does not spread hate or kill in the name of God.
Therefore, if one is spreading hate or killing in the name of God, that one could not be a Christian.

Where do you see Christians killing in the name of their God? Have you ever met one that has done this? Do you hear about them on the news? What in the world are you talking about?

You would think just be the responses on Yahoo Answer's that this is absolutely true. But they keep trying. Sort of like a big dumb animal.
