Just think there would be no more arguments , no mre athiets with their silly views on creation, no more wars and everything would be consumed by Jesus' divine love. I expect the very idea would bug a lot of people but not me. I am a knight of the old code.

It's important to note what the term Christian means. It is literally translated as footstep follower of Christ, which is doing your best to do things as Jesus did. He denounced the religious leaders of his day for their outward show of faith, when they were worse than those without faith. Those who are true Christians, will humble themselves to the point where they can be taught to be Christlike. The assumption seems to be, 'if I call myself a Christian, then I am one'. Jesus did not allow that in his day and neither should the true Christian Congregation today! This begs the question, 'how do I recognize true Christianity? The Bible provides the answer. But, it's not in religions that promote today's governments as a solution for man's problems; or for that matter, science and technology. Jeremiah 23:10 says, "It's not for man who is walking even to direct his step". So how can we rely on ourselves or others to decide how to find true Christianity? If you want to get the most out of your investments, it would make sense to consult a financial adviser. Likewise, when looking for true Christianity, pray to God through His Son for proper guidance and He will give it.There are no shortcuts. This is not an answer that everyone will agree with, however, it is the truth, and when you know the truth, no argument or opposition can take it away.

If the whole world suddenly became Bhuddist, it would have the same effect. If we all became Muslim it would have the same effect. The specifics of Christianity aren't a solution to the world's problems, but getting everyone to agree would make everyone agree. I don't think having everyone in agreement would be a good thing though. Conflict results in progress, and progress increases the quality of life.
You need to stop thinking that your belief (whatever it is) can solve anything, and start concentrating on fixing the conflict in your local space. Clearly, you aren't very good at that. You took a very good question and decided to make it insulting to all non-Christians out there, when you could have just asked the question. That kind of behavior promotes conflict. You need to work on that side of yourself before you go around worrying about everyone else. Priority one is to be a good person yourself, and I've never met anyone who mastered that skill.

Well, that would actually be a terrible thing... look at the most christian cities and states in the US and notice that they also have the highest rates of social dysfunction (stds, abortion, teen pregnancies, murder, rape, violence, theft, crime, divorce, etc.) then compare with the atheistic/secular nations like Sweden, Denmark, Japan, etc. and notice they have by far the lowest amounts of all those things, plus they have higher standards of living and they're the biggest contributors of foreign aid.
By every study, statistic or index ever conducted it's a safe conclusion that atheists are far more moral, non-violent, and good people than christians. Hell, I don't like to date christians because an average christian girl is 300x more likely to have an std than an agnostic or atheist girl.
The most christian nation this world has seen is probably Nazi Germany (55% protestant, 40% catholic) and we all see how good, tolerant, and peaceful they were... =P

Yeah, don't count on it. We Christians can't agree with each other either. Just look at Northern Ireland as an example of that. There will always be people willing to exploit religion for their own benefit and gain. As long as those people exist, there will be wars and contentions on the earth. It will only stop when Jesus finally does come back and sets us all straight since so many of us absolutely refuse to place our faith in Him the way we should and do as he taught.

That's right. Us atheists are to blame for every wrong-doing in the world. Think about it-there would be no more room for argumentative discussions, philosophy courses would only revolve around the true meaning behind the burning bush, and the war in Iraq would never end.
Although I suppose all the YFC pikeys wouldn't be running around begging for $ anymore. I could put up with that.

Before you try to get the whole world to be Christians, why don't you work on getting the Christians to be Christians. The majority of the Christians have no clue about what the Bible says and then you have the many different sects within the Christian religion that are killing each other off. So Please work on the Christians before converting the whole world.

Oh that's right because "Christians" don't do anything wrong. Hmmm I seem to remember when "Christians" ruled the world-wait wasnt that the time of the crusades where thousands of people were slaughtered including children. Or wait maybe it was when the plague was killing millions across the globe . Or maybe it was when "Christians" were enslaving people and transporting them to a new world. But hey they were Christians so it makes it ok. Nice job Christians!

oh don't make me sick. christians aren't the nicest of people. (the crusades, the inquisition, salem witch trials, etc) and even if the entire world became 'christian' it wouldn't matter because then the differences between sects would be magnified and then they'd fight over that. don't be so convinced yours is the only way that's right. why doesn't everyone become a buddhist and stop killing each other? why not become jains so we don't hurt anything? why not atheists so we can all be responsible for our own behavior? why not...why not...why not...

Nope. purely mission we may be able to do is attempt to elect leaders who received't make it a WORSE position! i do not recognize why human beings say the international is worse now than it develop into...it really is bull. %. up any historic previous e book, or maybe the Bible, and also you may continually discover persistent wars, murders, etc etc. the purely reason each and every thing is so well-known now is because the inhabitants of the international is larger than earlier.
