Atheists: if Christianity would be wiped out do you think there would be an end to wars?

Question

And the world a better place?

Then I wonder, why this hatred for Christ?
One who was crucified.



Oh the tolerance.......

I didn't say I hated atheists, I do love them.

It also seems to me that atheists are more intloerant towards Christianity than toward Islam, a coincidence........

Answer 1

That is very naive.

Answer 2

You forgot a few things; If all of "FALSE" Christians and all of "FALSE" religions were eliminated, and all wicked people in the world, including non-believers and blasphemers, there would be only one "TRUE" religion, unity, and true worship under Jehovah God, and his "Heavenly Government" over earth, not a manmade government like it is currently that does a very poor job and rightfully and correctly ruling over mankind.

It would not be enough just to eliminate all of "false" religions alone. The whole of wicked humans would need to be removed, destroyed permanently from the face of the earth.

This we know, will happen at Armageddon. Sadly, this will mean about 90% of the earth's population that will be annihalated at Armageddon. Then and only [after] then will there be peace in the earth and "the meeks ones shall possess the earth in the abundance of esquisite peace and delight forever". (Psalms 37: 8 - 11) Only after Armageddon will there be no more wars, rumors of wars, but the earth will be run by a Pure Heavenly Government that will never be brought to ruin and there will be nor more wars ever again; Armageddon will be the last war and it will be God's war against all wickedness (humans) in the earth.

I hope I am of the living or resurrected after Armageddon because I have a hope of everlasting life on a paradise earth. I do not have a heavenly hope. If you have to ask "Am I going to heaven", you are not.

Answer 3

If organized religion were wiped out, it would certainly help. Wars are fought for other reasons too, though - economic reasons, political ideologies, turf wars - and those wouldn't go away. A lot of wars, when you really look at them, do have a religious element, it would be nice to see that taken out of the equation. I do think the world would be a better place, not just without Christianity, but without religion in general.

Answer 4

The biggest threat to world peace today is Islam .
Christians fight local battles . Some members may go as far as bombing an abortion clinic or gay bar . But I think they are pretty much finished with violently converting people .
There are secular wars going on . Between tribal leaders in Africa . There are large violent street gangs like the Bloods and Crypts in the USA . And conflicts between non-religious ideologies such as with North and South Korea . But the only group that has it's eye on world domination through ANY means possible is Islam .

Answer 5

NO! Very few if any of the countries that are currently war-torn are Christian at all. For example, the Israel-Palestine conflict... ending Christianity wouldn't help one bit. Maybe if you changed that to "religion in general" (or even a different religion, like Islam, which is actually involved in ALOT of violence at the moment) you might be getting somewhere. But you'd still have issues like the warlords in Africa that don't seem to have any religious motivation at all.

Answer 6

There was a time when islamists were about to convert entire Europe. Only due to Christian opposition, they were repulsed. The world faces threat from Islam the dark religion and only christians countries can win it.
Btw what is christianity and how it started? To know that, see my profile.
It started from jew converts to buddhism (theraputae monks) in egypt (Alexandria). Jesus , probably was influenced by them when in egypt.
Why I say, because it was Buddha who found that the devil is control of the world and then he fought it and won it. Buddhism is a religion in opposition to devil essentially. The devil created islam thru Mohammed. Had it not being christianity , entire world wold have become islamic including you and me.

Answer 7

No. People would find other irrational ideologies to justify their tribal hatreds.

But this is not a reason to give up on criticising irrational ideologies. Sooner or later we need to recognise and deal with the tribal hatreds.

[Additional] I have no hatred for Jesus or anyone else who suffered the torture of Roman crucifixion.

But you have turned his life and death into a tribal symbol. I don't like what's behind that.

Answer 8

I doubt it. Even wiping out all religion would achieve nothing, in my opinion. It's not so much the religion, as the fundamentalist and extremist types it attracts. If they didn't have religion to use as an excuse to hate and kill, they'd find some other reason.

Answer 9

It would definitely not end all wars, but the world would most surely be a better place. Not just Christianity, though. We need to do away with the whole lot.

Answer 10

If people stopped believing in any religions, there is a good chance we'd have fewer wars.

People in power will always have reason to try to gain more power, so i don't think it would end all wars.

Answer 11

I am an atheist, but I believe that man is an evil creature that will always find a reason to fight. Any ideology taken to an extreme can be harmful.
