How many Christians will tell me that they are going to a better place called Heaven, in the kingdom of God; meaning that they have no want to try to salvage this world from the filth that they leave behind. Be fruitful and Multiply-can you tell that to the chickens, beef and vegtables that these multitudes will need to eat? Of course not, all you can do is hope that there will be enough for those that you are giving life to-and yet you see the star5vation that exists in other parts of the world and the swollen bellies of babies that do not get this sustenance. Is that FRUITFUL? This thing you call God has allowed me to see suffering and agony-and yet professes love-through religions that war and kill each other. More like be Fearful and Multiply-Jesus word is causing more distruction to this planet than Hitlers war machines ever did. Yet We could fight Hitler and his followers, how do we fight the followers of a coward God that hides and yet they fight having never seen him?

You are looking at God as having flawed human traits-God is perfect, humans are not. In my belief, each one of us charts our life before we incarnate here on earth. We chart ourselves to go through many trials in life in order to learn and perfect our souls.
There are also many "dark" souls here. They are here to cause as much suffering as they can. But they serve a purpose as well, to help the rest of us learn. Think about it, if everything came easy in life, what would we ever learn from that? We always come out of a hard situation stronger than before. In my belief, God cannot have negative traits like anger, jealousy, hate, vengeance. Religion is man made, much of it is scare tactics and guilt trips in order to "keep us in line". God is spritual, not religion. I really hope you find inner peace soon, it sounds like you are on your way to a major meltdown.

I believe there is much we don't and can't understand with our human intelligence. We see suffering throughout the world and ask why God would allow such things, but it is the way of the world. If God ruled the earth as a utopia of good and lions resting next to sheep in the pasture, where would that leave any of us? The world is a great stage of right, wrong, evil and good and He understands it much more than we. The best we can do is not lament, complain, and curse, and do what we can to live righteous lives. One old preacher once said, if you don't like God's universe, why don't you go make your own then?! Yea, obviously, we do not have that power. We can choose to help, to donate, to care, to have compassion, or we can damn, hate, and complain our lives away. Good luck finding your answers to your question. I pray you might ask God for some wisdom to help you on your way.

Why does your hateful rhetoric just lay blame at the feet of the Christians. It is amazing that peoples like you always blame the Christians, why because it fashionable and acceptable, had you put the Jews in the same sentence you would of been called anti Semitic, and had you put Islam in the same place, you would most likely be hunted down and beheaded, however, you and peoples like you take the path of least resistance and blame all on the Christian.
Well my fellow humanoid, you have no concept of what suffering is and who is causing it. The very suffering you claim to see and feel is done to people by their very own governing body. Those that they are dependent upon for food, water, and health. But I do not hear you screaming for those horrid forms of governors and governments to be destroyed and a more humane and just government replaced.
The hatred you seem to witness is that of man himself against man. Should the Christian rise up and march upon the face of the earth to stop the death, terror and murder, it would be so, but it would not satisfy you or those peoples like you for what you fear the most is that they should stand and finally fight.
But it will be one day soon, man against man, ideology against ideology, religion against religion....to save the world...Where will you be.....and doing what with whom?

Wow. Pretty much religion was just made many many years ago because the people way back then just needed some morality. Now these days people take religion way to far ya know. Religion has just been taken way to far. I am surprised by our human race because of our great ignorance to know that pretty much religion might not even be required anymore because us humans should of got the whole moral thing down with out lying to yourself about heaven and hell but people should kill or harm in anyway other people because its messed up to do that. Truthfully though Christian's do help the hungry African kids but many countries in Africa are corrupted and they steal the supplies and food we send. Be glad that you aren't one of the poor starving little kids.

It is, of course, not just Christianity that is the villain here -- it is religion in general, which leads people into silly actions via faith instead of sensible ones based on reason. If somehow religion were to suddenly disappear, the problems in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Palestine, Kashmir, and many other places would instanty be solved.

I think religion is destroying the earth in a way. But people who are true to their religion aren't destroying the world. It's the people without religious tolerance, and the people who don't care for others who are destroying it. There are so many wars because of religion, but the people supporting the wars aren't true to their own religion.

Does Christianity represent greed, control and Imperialism? No it does not that is satan's jurisdiction. Do you think a Fascist Society would be the answer to greed, control and Imperialism, no. Try living in commie China, n Korea, Iran etc and we should be concerned about many of the powers trying to convert US.

i does not say it quite is fullyyt actual. on an identical time as i don't have somewhat some self belief in maximum prepared religions, all of them incorporate some very loving, first rate, compassionate people. sturdy works have been accomplished via prepared faith and it could be unfair to assert they have not. undesirable have been fed, homeless have been sheltered, etc., and it is all in accordance with Jesus' teachings. yet i think of the emphasis via maximum prepared religions is in simple terms too lots on sin and punishment and hell and not adequate on Christ's commandment to love others as we like ourselves. In that understand, they have broken Jesus' artwork on earth.

We have a lot of religions but not a lot of religious people.
Because in Genesis he told NOah I am destroying the earth because it is filled with violence because of them.
It says he hates violence. So does the Kuran and almost all the holy writings. But people are selfish and they have free will.
They use it to choose to hurt each other.

it's not religion, it's people, think of a world without religion, would there still be peace? people would find something else to fight over, they always do, and because religion was made by people, of course it will have its distortions and lack of logic, it always comes down to people
