Why are Christians, Muslims, & Jews such vicious and mean people. All they seem to care about is their own ideas and trying kill each other (along with anyone who gets in there way). Why do these three fanatical and horrible religions still exist today? Why do people still continue to follow their doctrins of murder, invasion, and crime. It is so sad that the people of this world continue to follow these three false religions and their one false God. Can we some day rid the world of the these three true evils?

I disagree
I see allot of concern for justice among Jews
I see allot of concern for benevolent acts and mercy among Christians
those secular humanist communists... well... they dont seem so kind and considerate to me.. and they are probably a good example of a non religious society who killed hundreds of millions of people in the last century

I think you may be jumping to some unwarranted conclusions here. For example, I live in a country where many people think that America is a blood thirsty nation. Why? Because of what is going on in Iraq. But before a judgment can be made first you have to decide, is this part of being an American or is this the choice of certain individuals. Also, is the situation understood? I would think it unfair to lump me into a group based on a decision I did not make.
I am a Christian, and the Bible in no ways gives place for things like to Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, or the Ireland/N.Ireland conflict. It goes against what Christ taught. The type of "Christianity" propagated by the Crusades etc. is unbiblical and unchristian.
To say that Christianity is wrong because of the way a minority have publicly misrepresented it is throw out the baby with the bath water. I would say those other individuals who killed in the name of Jesus (Prince of Peace) were not Christians.
As to why I am still a Christian today... Christianity is a reasonable faith. Exam the claims, exam the evidences (archaeologically, textually, prophetically, morally, etc.). Christianity is a reasonable faith.
And as far as Christianity being a true evil. Look around. Look at how many schools and hospitals were begun by Christians. Harvard and Yale are two examples of schools started by Christians. Look at all the hospitals and charities. The Red Cross was started by Christians, YMCA, Salvation Army. Is Christianity an evil religion? What did it's founder say? "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you" (Matthew 6).
If you are more interested in knowing what true Christianity is, I would be happy to dialog with you. But don't judge Jesus for the way a few have misrepresented him.

They're not all vicious! Sadly, the ones we hear about are the fanatical, kill all the sinners, you're going to hell, religious people. There are so many Christians, Jews, and Muslims who are kind normal people. I'm sorry to say that it sounds like you've had some kind of bad experience with someone that falls into one of the categories you mentioned. The "doctrines of murder, invasion, and crime" that you talk about are not at all supportive of murder invasion of crime. Some Muslims are those who would kill themselves and others in the name of Allah, but that doesn't necessarily mean every other Muslim agrees with that. You can't just group people together because of their religion. Some people abuse their religion to gain pleasure for themselves such as the priests who sexually abused their students. That sadly turns some people against the Christian faith, when not every Christian is necessarily like that priest at all!

My friend you have answered your own question.
1. If in a mass of a hundred men, less than 10 people are following some belief, they may be wrong. But if the case is reverse, 90% mass of people is not wr4ong, no way.
2. If someone is in a beleif for a short time then he may have switched because it was wrong. But if the case is reverse, he probably be right because he has found some sort of satisfaction.
Now a word for "How":
Its probably not possible to make the water flow against gravity, is it?
So, if the direction you want the water to flow is highr, its not possible until the you dig the place lower.
I mean this is only possible if you offer a religion or set of beleifs that is better. Its only possible if you present a personality better than Jesus (Peace be Upon Him), Abraham(Peace be Upon Him) and Mohammad(Peace be Upon Him).
Try to find one!!

The answer is simple, the implementation is going to be a *****, and, since our world is inherently reactive by nature, it won't happen until some catastrophe that eclipses 9/11. The answer is 1) Universal worldwide science education. The more factual knowledge you have about how things really work, the less chance you feel the necessity to bring supernatural beings into the equation to fill in the gaps. 2) A worldwide ban on hate literature, especially anything endorsing murder of people who don't agree with you and yes they have to start by editing all that crap out of the bible and the koran. I told you it was going to be a *****.

How do we get rid of Secularism, Humanism, and Atheism?
Why are Secularist, Humanist and Atheist such mean and Vicious people?
All they seem to care about is attacking Christians and Killing them and calling anyone who says otherwise a hate crime.
Why were Christians slaughtered in the arena in Rome, Why were they gassed in the German concentration camps, Why do Secularist and the like de-value human life by aborting millions of babies all in the almighty right of a woman's right to choose (which does not extend to destroying anothers life)
Why do they preach liberalism and tolerance but have none for the Christians? hypocrites I say

I am hoping for a global nuclear world war to finally wipe out all these insane religious people.
Even if i myself am incinerated to ash in the process then i dont care. The world is an evil place all the time organised religion is present.

Be educated yourself.
Teach your children the truth.
Help others get a good education.
Give everyone the freedom to think for themselves.
You'll still end up with a world full of nut jobs but hopefully they'll kill each other off without bothering the rest of us.

This is probably the ultimate irony. You oppose these groups for their lack of tolererance and and respect for others. And you do so with the same lack of tolerance and respect. It sounds like maybe you're the fourth true evil that should be gotten rid of.

Judge not lest you be judged with the same manner as you judge others.
not all christians and muslims and Jewish people are mean. I'm rather insulted by your question. I'm a Christian and i take offence to being called mean just because a few people give my religion a bad name
