With the way this religion was forced on eveyone (Constantine forced it on the Roman Empire, The Inquisition forced it on Europe and killed all who oppesed it and the good Christians Conquistador made sure all the evil native ppl of the new world believed in Gods mercy or they had there heads cut off. Jesus Loves you. Stop believing a lie.

I said "Christian" god, not God. Two very different things.

personal experience-- lots; absolute historicity; prophetic fulfillment; mind-blowing statistics-- 66 books written by 40 divinely inspired writers from all walks of life and spanning a period of over 1,500 years-- all in perfect agreement; scientific precursor to all knowledge (which, even when not initially received in faith, continues to be 'proven' eventually by modern science-- over and over)
As you've proven no lies, I will certainly not stop believing. If it weren't so sad, it would be amusing to consider why you people feel so continually threatened by anyone's faith. None of your striving can ever change the facts that be from existing anyway-- certainly doesn't threaten the Almighty or strip Him of a shred of His power or authority. : ) Blessings to you.

How can people still believe in the Islam prophet Mohammad? Isn't this the same exact thing the Quran requires? In the 53 Haifa (spelling?) Difference is this is the 21st century. Would think people would get smarter not dumber.
A bit hypocritical to pick on a group, why consider the speck in your brother's eye and not look at the board coming out of your own?

I think history contains a lot of tragedies. I would like to think if I had been in their place, I would have conducted myself better, but I'm not so sure.
I really liked the movie "Crash", because it depicted people at their best and their worst, not simply good or bad. The potential within people is so good, it borders on a holy thing.
I think striving to be better is "GOoD thing". Jesus said that people who say they are his followers, but do evil things will be judged accordingly.
Religious people can be a little pushy, and very obnoxious, but in most places, rejection of a particular religion is not a capital crime.
My guess is that if God exists, he will not consider it a horrible thing either...but horrible things do happen, and when religious people do these things, they have to answer for them, as we all do.

brother, oh my poor brother, trying so hard to disprove but its just not working is it? Go ahead question, elroyhk5@verizon.net. come on, think this is a game, think this is some phony lie, then test, come on, so you can sleep easier at night. those people you spoke of, religious, there is a difference from a true follower of Christ and some arrogant fool who uses the name to gain riches for himself, it is not the father that is wrong, it is the son. We are the children and we have failed, our knowledge and our wisdom, nothing, it is all just dust blown away in the wind.
Could not have said it better, YOU KNOW GOD EXIST, you are only hurting yourself by running away.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light, No other. speak now your insults, every animal in this world knows this, do not fear the jaws of the pup, fear the Jaws of the mother.
The jaws of the mother, a parable for the jaws of the lord our God Jesus Christ.

I fail to comprehend how you can equate the foibles of man, having any bearing on God.. that is quite a leap. What you bring up falls more under politics rather than religion. All for the gaining of power. Historically, that is exactly what was taking place. Not even following their own directives, on how to treat people.

What country do you live in? It is my understanding that today in America you can choose any religion (or lack thereof) you want. How do you think it would feel to live in one of the countries in the middle east that considers Islam the state religion? Religious people can become extremely zealous at times, but let's keep it at all religions and not just Christians.

....truth is many claim to be christians and teach christianity.... but how many of them really follow christ teachings sincerely......the roman empire, the conquistadores, and other colonizers used (abused) christianity by pretending to be "gospel-bringers" but with hidden plans to expand their kingdoms......despite these evil motives and acts however the true message of the bible and of christ cannot be denied and extinguished...when the people heard it, it made them believed.....true then....and most certainly true today.......

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity
