I haven't got a point....just a question. I suggest you read the whole thing before shooting from the hip.

It's so funny that Christian tend to dislike atheists more than non-Christian theists.
That is, they would rather us believe in a false god, such as Krishna, instead of not believe in a false god. After all, both Christians and atheists agree that Krishna is a completely false and man-made god, yet the Christian would prefer that the atheist convert to that false religion as opposed to remaining an atheist.
I really do not understand that logic.

You're a Christian aren't you? In anycase, no religion has it 100% right. From an aethiest stand point, Gods, and I say Gods because before there was only one, there were many... Gods and Goddesses were made up to explain the unexplainable, calling it the miracle of this particular God(ess). Example, in ancient Greece a fisherman is lost at sea for 100 days, then comes back in good health, Poseidon saved him. That was the explaination. God was made to explain the unexplainable.
By the way, saying the majority of the world is wrong, thats a bold statement, do you have evidence other than YOUR personal belief?

There is one God, worshipped in different ways and by different names. Look at the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Guru Nanak, Baha'ullah, etc. There are some external differences due to different historical circumstances. Yet they are fundamentally the same; why? Because they are from the same source. By the way, when Jesus said no one comes to the Father but by him, bear in mind that this passage comes from the philosophically orientated Gospel of John, and therefore refers to the Christ principle as embodied in Jesus; hence, there can and will be other Christs, we all have a Christ nature, but almost no one will fully realise it like Jesus did.

Ever wonder what do we expect the blind to do?
With herd mentality?
All happily singing "For he's a jolly good fellow"
Getting kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy in climbing up the coconut trees and still look green in not worshiping God.
Blindly following the three monkeys that see no evil, hear no evil and say no evil who were blind, deaf and dumb being a bunch of educated idiots without being aware of the mess out there.
Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49
What do you think?

If we could even realize how spiritually depraved we
actually are, we would not ask such dumb questions!
It's amazing ANY of us get to go to eternal peace!
It's amazing ANY of us believe at all and
become redeemed due to the price paid by
SOMEONE ELSE and not because of our own
goodness! Self is far from a good god to choose and
all the deceptive spirits in the world are wrong gods
as well! Which voice do You listen to?
I am glad to listen to the voice of my Creator,
the voice of true understanding and worship -
the presense of the one true God.

I'll go you one better; since Chrisitianity has several denominations (Catholics being the largest at 23%), and most point to other denominations as being imperfect, the majority of Chrisitans seem to be sharing the same fate as atheists as well.
Just a thought,

You are right, people chose god/religion as they chose a football time in the same way people also choose to be atheist... believe and disbelieve is all the same, ignorance.

Yea I just wish that the religious leaders with "being a man of whatever religion" self-esteem issues would just go away. There is a SERIOUS failure of religion in today's society and the problem is not the people who lack religion it's the people who use their religion to justify violence and intolerance.
The sole problem of the world : insecure men with a delusion of grandeur due to their religion.
Okay I feel better now.

They feel the same as every other religious person, they think they have the "right" religion and everyone that doesn't believe in their brand of religion isn't going to heaven, or worse going to hell.
