Reason for my question is because I honestly don't understand why people would rather worship the devel & not Christ??? God is real!!! I guess stupid people don't care if they go to hell. Even yet, they won't. Why??? Because as long as they don't commit a big sin like kill someone, they're still gonna go to heaven because GOD will forgive you. Just makes no sense. I've seen on tv where in Mexico, This Satan leader tatoo'd "666" & now everybody is not ashamed to come out, get tatoo'd as well & say that they worship the devil also. WHY??? I believe it was the bible that said that there was gonna be a satan leader that would stand out & brain wash us to also become Anti-Christ's. As I believe that it also said the all the Anti-Christs will come out & show themselves. & these are not people that look weird or anthing, it could be your neighbor. Anything have a saying ???

Even though the original authors of the stories in the Bible were living in a time when they thought it was a good idea to share sponges in public toilets to wipe the their butts and naughty bits, there are still people alive today that honestly expect everyone else to believe that Bronze-Age beduins had all the wisdom of the ages at their disposal.
Amazing!

Joey, I was a Christian for years. I read all the "right" Christian books, went to church, Sunday school, etc, however, I eventually lost my faith in Christianity- not in God though. After a great deal of study I've come to realize that the bible reflects a man made religion. This conclusion was a result of a lot of searching, reading, and common sense.
Usually most of us adhere to or follow the religion that is the most popular where we were born and that our family/parents believed. Generally speaking if you were born in Utah to a Mormon family you would become a Mormon, live as a Mormon and then die a Mormon. If you were born in the south to a family of Southern Baptists you would most likely become a Southern Baptist, live as one and then die a Southern Baptist. If you were born in southeast China to a family of Buddhists you would probably become a follower of Buddha, live a Buddhist life and then die a Buddhist..so on and so on. That's simply how life is for all of us in the world.
But Christianity teaches that the "ONLY" way for salvation is through Jesus Christ. That then eliminates billions upon billions of people who once lived and who are living and who will be born and then die in the future.
Any religion that claims to be the only true religion and to have the only true way to salvation is a very arrogant religion and a very unfair religion at that.
The knowledge of Christianity has come to us over the last two millenia through the Bible in the form of words written on paper. Up until more recent times most people never had a bible. During the first millenia most people could not have it (church wouldn't let them) and if they did it was in Latin.
Most people over the centuries have not been able to read and then no printing press until the 15th century. Why would God send an extremely important message - a message of life or death eternal - via a handwritten document that most people couldn't get their hands on and if they did couldn't read it. There are still people today that have never heard of Jesus Christ -as hard as that is to believe and over a billion who cannot read today.
I believe in God but not in any organized religion like Christianity anymore. My beliefs are somewhat similar to our American forefathers. Read Thomas Paine's Age of Reason as that might shed light on something I see as "reasonable".
Do some reading outside of the typical Christian literature about religions and Christianity and you'll be surprised to find out about the real etiology of the Jewish/Christian/Islamic faiths.
Some of your words are a bit mean-spirited, i.e. "stupid people don't care if they go to hell." To choose a religion just because one is afraid of going to hell seems like a weak reason for accepting a religion and rather mean-spirited too.
I chose a religion or a belief system because it makes the most sense to me and not because someone else says I must or I'll go to hell. Just too many mean-spirited, vendictive, judgmental Christians around for me to want to ascribe to that religion anymore.
See, if God cares for mankind then I don't see him limiting us mortals to just one way of believing. A study of history reveals to me that Jesus as simply a wonderful and caring man but no more. Read a little more and you will find out some things that might make you understand a bit more and less rigid in your viewpoint. Good luck!

I Cor 6:
9. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
(be not deceived by PC crowd)
God doesn't allow people to pick what sins,each person,wants to tell Him to accept.Read bible to see God doesn't have a sin ruler:
Read:
Romans (1,3,6,10)
Eph 2:8-9
James
Rev 18-22
Matt 24-25

Im not anti christian, just anti-religious.
Religion takes away your rational thinking. God is not real, so therefore you just wasted your life with meaningless prayer and damnation for him.
Congrads on throwing your life away, one day you'll die, there will be no heaven/hell and all that time you wasted on getting to your pearly gates of bullsh!t will sink in...but you'll be dead, with a wasted life...

There are only two powers in the world, Good and Evil. If you can't live up to the good you might as well be evil. This is the only reason that I can think of the people would choose to follow the Father of Lies. They are scared they will fail in following the God of Light.

The anti-Christ is out there. He/she is just waiting for the right time to show his/her true colors. He/she will be the most charming person you ever meet. He/she will be a great peacemaker at first then created the biggest bloodbath the world have ever seen.
