  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO...I have been saying this since I was about 12, Religion is about Geography.  Now off to the Young Earth channel to have a laugh.

  • i beleive this video is very disscriptive about how christianity was spred throught the world.

  • Now 80%of Christians are converting to Islam because they are starting to realize that it is the true religion of God that they find written in the gospel!

  • Missionaries are bigots. Are other-religion / culture hating bigots.

    This is why Christianity should be BANNED.

    Christianity is a cult and bible endorse slavery.

    Also they forced their dumbass religion on indigenous people.

    Christianity is evil and it should be outlawed because there is no god and they financially exploit people.

    Jesus was just a normal man like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite etc. If people worship god they worship someone else invention and opinion, normal people.

  • Christianity 

  • as an atheist, christians wern't the only ones that conquested and frocely converted people. the muslims did that too, catch up on history. the jews did that on a smaller scale, but the other way around. they didn't coquer to convert, they converted to conquer(as population that hold the same religion do tend to be more loyal to the king) so its more of a political thing then a religious one.

  • ISLAM SPREAD ON THE SAME WAY. so stop bullshitting around child

  • Colonialism was everywhere and it was actually more of a good thing in the end. If you Look at all the modern countries that were once part of the British Empire they are Much better off because of it.

  • @Gaaminator o yea extermination of entire cultures and people, your so right colonialism is soo good. Hows it feel to be one of those fat white americans in a suit.

  • @NDBNTZ Well im not fat, but it does feel good to wear a suit. Sure colonialism has destroyed some cultures, but has also has done alot of good for some. Think about where other countries might be today if they had never been colonized. They would not be modern. Maybe some people dont like living in the modern world where you have indoor plumbing, electricity, clean food. But most people do.

  • @Gaaminator Implying Luxuries are more important than human life. there's this weird concept people might not of heard of, something called sharing of ideas. You give us gun powder we give you vast pockets of knowledge- You have navigational capabilities we give you gold, silver fair trade in my opinion.

    FYI both gun powder and superior navigation came from china, don't see them speaking languages not there own or having massive pop. decreases. Your arguments are shit, restart elem school

  • @NDBNTZ True, but that often takes a long time, colonialism quickened the process. And theres more to it then that. What if some cultures are doing things like burning widows, or cannibalism? Or an evil tyrant killing his own people. Colonialism and Christianity ended alot of that around the world believe it or not.

  • @Gaaminator No first off how long do you think it took for Europeans to have access to gunpowder and nav after they knew it existed? not very long fyi. Your full of shit there have been plenty of times where christians have done those things or worse. no tyrannical christians? christians havent killed widows in the past (witches)? christians have created genocide, enslaved hundreds and your only excuse is it was faster you sir are an idiot.

  • @Gaaminator

    Jesus get a fucking education. Post colonialism has showed us that the opposite is true. Damn just look at Africa and South America!

  • @WyattsFreakinChannel If it wasnt for colonialism People in Africa would still be living in primitive tribes with no electricity and no plumbing and no modern medicine. If you would rather live like that then thats perfectly fine. The same goes for south America. I know my history very well thank you, without colonialism people in those places would be living in the dark ages or worse.

  • @WyattsFreakinChannel Jesus was a True Prophet of God, He was neither God nor His son but a man son of Virgin Mary who was made Prophet of God.He taught Islaam but later on His teachings were changed by his disciples and his book changed and many parts are lost. Don't use disgraceful language for a righteous persom or the Wrath of God will descend upon you

  • I believe you have your facts a little wrong. the Spanish Inquisition was only in Europe. What happened in the Americas was the "La Conquista"

  • Pretty stupid video. Rome was at least 40% Christian before it was legal so the Roman Empire hurt Christianity. The Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc were quite imperialistic at times too but their religions didn't spread as much. Christianity evolved and the other religions didn't. That's why it spread.

    Judaism has changed dramatically over the years too but required scholarship before conversion so never spread.

  • good! now make one for islam.

  • How to make Atheism rise faster? It seems not fast enough for me. I believe Atheist can't wait to rid the world of this Christian virus.

  • funny yet ridiculous. what do you think the whole rest of the world was doing during the time that Christianity was supposedly ransacking everything, holding hands and hoping for world peace? Human history as a whole is the history of us killing each other. every religion, every non religion, every culture killing one another. the reason that the Christian worldview has spread like this is not because of force. In fact there are many examples of huge growth during persecution.eg China now

  • Islam war spread with much more force than Christianity.

  • fair enough, but Islam is a far worse virus than christianity.

  • What is the name of this song?

  • Very Inaccurate video..

    First of all Christianity was never spread by the Sword the Apostles converted people by preaching and never carried a sword Thats a FACT..

    2) all those wars that happened were not because of Christianity... The Muslim prophet Muhammad send letter to Byzantium King Hercules to either convert to Islam or they will be killed. Later under Caliph Omar he Invaded Christian Land : Egypt, Syria, Israel, Anatolia (now Turkey), and most of North Africa.. (Cont)

  • @Pharaoh714 Part 2 -

    The crusades were commissioned to fight back against the Islamic expansion and to liberate Christians who were complaining of miss treatment and force conversion and demi status under the "Pact of Omar' (look it up).. The First Crusades were noble it wasn't until the 4th crusade and the Latin Knights template's who desecrated the name of Christianity by attacking their Byzantine brothers at the Constantinople.. (cont).

  • @Pharaoh714 (Part 3) After the Pope Ex-communicated and devolved the Knights temperately who had previously destroyed the crosses in the churches, looted and raped Christians of Byzantium and spit on the Cross. The movement was highly persecuted by the pope and thus started the Inquisitions... but if you go back to the History books it was all peaceful until the invasion by Omar and Amr ibn al 'as

  • @Pharaoh714 - " Christianity was never spread by the Sword" - WRONG. The decree in 391 by Theodosius I declared Christianity the only "legitimate" religion, people of other faiths put to death for the next 1000 years. Witch hunts, religious wars -- Christians killed by tens of millions. Even Jesus said "Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword" (Mt 10:34) and "I am come to cast fire on the earth" (Lk 12:49).

  • @gekritzl You are very ignorant for using that verse without understanding what comes behind it or what the apostles said about it.

    The Sword does not mean Jesus came to kill, if he did he would of not told Peter to let down your sword when he strike the solders of the priests ear off.

    The Sword if you read the whole chapter is the Word of God, that separates between believer and disbeliever thats why he said His message will divide Mom against daughter, father against son, bro against bro.

  • @Pharaoh714 - Right. I get that one very often. Most Christian apologists say "it was a metaphor" or "you've taken it out of context" or "Jesus talked in parables." Actually, YOU are the one who is clearly very ignorant. Besides, please address what I FIRST said - the decree by Roman emperors that all non-Christians must be killed! THAT is why Chrisitanity took hold, and spread. That and the loving words of Jesus, that God will have you tortured for eternity if you don't believe.

  • @gekritzl I dismissed your first argument because it made me laugh but the Edict of Theodosius made Pagan sacrifices illegal and anyone who broke the law either payed heavy fines, jail or death for repeated offence. And if what you say is true why did the Byzantines allow Jews to live with them they only attacked them after the Jews sided with the Muslims in 632 upon the invasion of Jerusalem and when Emperor Hercules took it back he attacked the Jews for their deceit.

  • @gekritzl And also don't interpret the Bible with out a reference to the Fathers or I wont take you seriously.. If you want to put a verse from the Bible show what the Apostles and the Early Church said about its meaning don't make up your own meaning... If you do your research you will find what I said is true about that verse.. but of course you wont.

  • @gekritzl "God will have you tortured for eternity if you don't believe."

    No you have a really miss-understanding of God in Christianity. God doesn't torture anyone because they didn't believe Him, He is actually obeys your freewill not to be with Him.

    God made us Depending on him just like flowers need water/sun light, when Man fell we were disconnected from God but Gods presence was with us.. When we reject God at the end God will take away His presence from us and that Is Hell.

  • for me the religion ITSELF is a super virus...

  • i Love Christianity. im so happy to have been infected by this glorious virus

  • @forzaitalia2 Christianity is false. Convert to Pastafarianism. May the Flying Spaghetti Monster touch you with his noodly appendage.

    R'Amen

  • @LonesomePaleRider

    My God has bigger balls than yours!

  • @LonesomePaleRider i pray to the meatballs........

  • i disagree. beleive christianity is real.

  • the christian culture is in my opinion a beautifull culture.

    i also respect atheists, bhudhism, hinduism, pagism, shinto... but i do not respect the islam, to many bad things are being done in its name TODAY ( i know i know i know christians murderd in the name of god to but that was a long time ago and we got over it.... why didnt they? )

  • @bartieboy93 Yes in the past when Islam was new we were civilized while you Christians were barbaric. Then Mongol and Turkish imperialism took over everything and ruined the civilization, and Europeans ruined Africa and other countries with their imperialism. Why is it that the most savage places on Earth are Africa, the Middle East,and South Asia? They were all victims of imperialist wars. South America too, to some extent.

    Blame your imperialism.

  • how come you didn't mentioned the philippines?, it has got to be one of the most christianized and colonialized nations in the world,...but anyhow the video is true by sense and history because of the conclusion,..and from which is virtually true!, i am now not proud that my country is the only christian nation in asia...but rather the one of the most "forced, ignorant and greed inflicted in the world

  • @kevin080592 yes and what about christianity in korea, the most extremist christians fanatic in the world

  • @japanhorror1

    well that includes too,..i am not entirely against christianity, what i do hate about it are its abuse, hate and closemindedness,...say is it true to some wordy athiests that japan is a predominantly atheist nation?

  • @kevin080592 japan is a shinto nation and also have buddhism, christianity is also in japan, but china is very atheist

  • Fuck off, Islam didnt exist in 300century

  • christian is not virus1it is commisioned by GOD to the selected apostles and preachers to teach to many nations and race of people!The spirit of GOD guides the believers in Christ!

  • @TheAqruipnos

    but when you look it on the historical sides like witch trials, gas chambers, torture chambers, medieval paranoia, unscientific applications,criminalities like (money laundring, corruption, greed),....do you still tend to consider that the all loving God still eminates on those people who have done it??!!

  • @TheAqruipnos christianity only brought ignorance to people's minds

  • Why do you always forget that muslim also is an importen religion in many countries in South East Asian? Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Philippines?

  • lol, virus, salvation, easy to mix up? How about the explosion of islam?

  • all kind of religions are a virus...

  • Absolute truth!

  • The dutchman found australia in 1600 only they don't have colonys on the continent,

    even as tasmania called in the name of Abel Tasman and New Zealand (Nieuw-Zeeland.

  • Yawn: pretty much the same story for the spread of modern medicine.

  • christianity should have never even existed maybe if it didnt the world will be better.....

  • You kinda forgot a smaller thing.

    King Clovis (Father of Charles the Great) King of the Franks got baptist because he could get more 'native' Romans behind him in west Europe after the fall of the City Rome.

    The country of the Franks ruled over current France Germany Belgium and the Netherlands

    If he didn't baptise, I'd probebly shoud be praising Lord Wohan.

  • google Doe's Account, its mindblowing.

  • It got across the Globe couse we had the most power :D

  • God bless all the christian territories all over the world. I have nothing against islam but if the world was ruled by their culture from a moment to the other, all the science, all the arths, all the evolution, all the technology, all the freedom will be ruined, and we would get back to the Dark Age.

  • @mrclaudiock Same could be said aboud the christians attacking Islamic country's a thousend years ago.

    The Muslims were the most peacefull one's, they had the most and the most beathifull art, they were ahead on science (mainly because they held the knowledge of the acient Greek), they had the best medice and the greatest machinery.

    They only missed the age of industrialisation and (more importently) the age of enlightment.

    Thats why they're now 'behind' the west on so many fields.

  • @wybo2 Are you saying that being Muslim is an ethnic race, and not a Religion?

  • @YetiGorilla

    You do have a point and i'd like to correct myselve this way.

    I should be reffering to 'Islamic country's' rather than Muslims.

    Now i'd seen my comment back, i'd like to add a few things the Islamic countrys were ahead on during the dark ages:

    -Algebra

    -Geometry

    -Astronomy

  • @wybo2 True on that, the bloody Christians were so behind in technology, the people refered to the Catholic Churchs' Teaching which were wrong.

  • @wybo2

    so another way to say it is, the cultures that islam took over used to be advanced, then as soon as they became muslim, they fell behind?

  • Comment removed

  • nice but you forgot a few west nations like france and netherlands

  • lol funny video

    but right

  • Islam is an equally perverse religion that spread through force and arguably more violence, and who's prophet killed many people in his day.

    Maybe your next video should be about that?

  • LOL is that your feeble attempt at diverting peoples attention. Name one country islam took by force???? With real evidence by the way dickhead.

  • @lalamusa1

    Baby, it's not me who doesn't know their history. You clearly know nothing of the subject, Islam took almost all muslim countires by force or economic coercion. Does the word Dhimmi ring a bell? Take a step back from your cultural bias and do a little research, people of christian ancestry have been doing it since the enlightenment. Did my comment really warrant such a petty response? I thought it was spoken quite academically.

  • @ljr14 Yet u failed to name one country Islam took by force, I knew u were an idiot. All modern day countries enforce dhimmi, dhimmi is tax and we all pay it. Its funny u call urself intelligent but spurt the same crap which is fed to the general public through the shit box.

  • @lalamusa1

    Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, at the time Christian Byzantines, were invaded right after the death of Mohammed, forced conversions happened frequently, but were not entirely forced all the time, they were immorally coerced through their subjection as Dhimmi's, as second class oppressed citizens who payed extra tax. People didn't accept Islam on theological terms, but because it made economic sense to join. What you are referring too is the Zakat, not the Dhimmi.

  • Also of course, Persia (Zoroastrian), Afghanistan (Buddhist), and the Somalians (original beliefs destroyed which we now have no record of and who were enslaved most of the time) All of them having native religions whose adherents were treated terribly, and were forced to give up their traditional beliefs, as the plague of an ignorant, newly invented, aggressive religion with open ended calls to destroy infidels modeled after the monotheistic success of Roman imperial Christianity swept through.

  • @ljr14 yet u have no proof for the words "were treated terribly, and were forced to give up their traditional beliefs". they gave up their beliefs by choice and adopted a better way of life. You have to prove otherwise.

  • christianity is the biggest? they are no more thanb 1.6 billion in the world and yet islam has 2.1 billion on the earth. and there is 5% muslim in euopean population. You people should say christianity has more widespread than islam that you can find it in every nations, but doesn't mean it is "the biggest"

  • You might've mentioned Jesus told them to go into all the world?

  • this is our pride. any other civilization just cant stop replaced by a single religion, egypt, arabia, persia and java fall down to islam. greece, roman, germans, slavs fall down to christianity, jews for judaism, india for hinduism, southeast asia for buddhism, only chinese for themselves non-stop from the begin of history.

  • wow is christanity the biggest in the world

  • lol because there was no Islamic empire. there was no Islamic expansion taking christian/european lands/ there was no Islamic greed looting or all areas of christianity they invaded. hahah

    thank God for the beautiful Disease Christianity!! i will be infected with it forever

  • Oh so you are saying Constantinople of what later became Istanbul of what was the Capital of the Christian Byzantine Empire was never christian and always muslim even though the Byzantine Empire has existed centuries before Muhammad's birth.

    Oh yeah that is right, you believe when babies are born they are naturally Muslim. But if we are all born Muslim then how is it when we are born we are not able to read, pray, or perform any of the Pillars of faith needed to be muslim.

  • hi tom...i think you didnt get the 'just' of my coment. the video is pointing out that christianity was an empire...bla bla bla. i was pointing out that there was indeed an islamic empire, expansion, looting/greed/ etc.

    i said i am happy to be christian even if others see it as a diesease. as you said on your page...Islam has doen nothing but TAKE through out history and claim it as Islamic through Allahs will.

  • And Allah by the way is actually just a monotheistic version of their Pre-Islamic Moon God, Allahou, making him not your god Yahweh or Jehovah or Elohim or whatever you want to name him.

  • From my song (still working on getting it recorded), Reclamation

    "The Heathen Faiths are illegal Blasphemy,

    Every knee must bow every pagan must be swayed,

    Halls must be burned and chapels built,

    If they resist kill them all... For the Glory of God!"

  • Cristianity was spread almost by the WORD and martyrdom in Americas, Africa and Asia in majority trough the separated Missions from colonization itself.

    The convertion to Islam on the contrary(sometimes) benefit in great part and was made in great part by the spreed by sword and conquest in north Africa, Iberia first etc., but of course, not allways, by strict convertions too.

    And if we became more just and tolerant with each other? would be great!

  • Conquistadors and Explorers(some with Christian Friars) had tried convert by force, but hadn´t many convertions

    Were pacific Missionaries and Missions who converted Souls in great numbers after, in the colonies, and outside colonist territorial dominance, in far Independent kingdoms, with cruel kings and lords, some Missionaries suffer Martyrdom.

    GOD Blesse we all.

  • Missionaries have no right destroying and ruining other peoples cultures.

    They should just leave well enough alone.

  • @TheAgnosticAspie

    I disagree. I strongly believe that the african culture of killing albino people because their bones are thought to be magic should be destroyed and ruined. So should all other unfounded beliefs and delusions

  • Comment removed

  • @Luso515PorTuoGraal I disagree the roman empire force christian on they people at sword point. When Islam came to North Africa the people willing convert to Islam.

  • Hi, Roman Empire(and West and East Empires after) has Christianity as official Religion8after the IV Century AD) The People convert too.

    The difference was more in fact that the terrotory was already conquered many time ago and the Roman Empire was on its last stages. Soon Christianty would spread for all Europe, with the exception of some Charles Magno aided(by conquest-sovereignity) everything was by full convertion without wars.

    Of course happened convertions in both sides yes.

  • In the case of Portugal, Portuguese Brazil and Africas(west portuguese Africas) had never Inquisition. Only in European metropole, wich action was far and indirect and no effective in Portuguese Brazil etc.

  • Ironicaly, (the unique you forget to mention) In what portuguese overseas is concerned, the Inquisition was only instaled in Portuguese State of India(in Goa) State Comprised of Coastal cities, most of them in western coast of the subcontinent, Sry-lanka, Oman, Persian gulf, Eastern Africa enclaves and colonies, Malacca, Pacific etc.(great part lost in middle XVII cenury) But even in this Hemisfer, Jesuits died as Martyrs in Japan and many parts of Asia.

  • please go to revelation of the anti-christ. You will not be disapointed

  • The Spanish missionary has killed mass of native population in South-America just to spread the idea of Christianity through force!!

  • wrong, were the Missionaries and Missions who protect, even fight the Colonists, even against the Crown to protect the Colonists. Read history.

    Even the Guarani wars were Misssionaries-Indians(Missions­) versus the two Crowns.

    Inquisition in spanish America only was instaled some years after the adventurers of the Conquistadores

  • I mean:

    Were the Missionaries and Missions who protect, even fight the Colonists, even agais its own crowns to protect Indians (very famous cases and personages) Jesuits above all(even made and lead wars and Indian armies against Colonists and even against its Crowns.

  • Democracy, capitalism, morality, ex. The super viruses.

    What a load of mumbo jumbo.

  • go cristians. we rule the world.

  • You would, if there wasn't over 30,000 denominations what divide you, and if most powerful nations weren't secular.

  • yea, except you can't spell or use punctuation....

  • At 0:55, the map is wrong, Ethiopian and Eritrea are chritian nations.

  • Christianity has been misrepresented. If you believe that Catholics are true Christians, then your argument works. But they aren't, as their pagan elements testify for their whole history. Protestants, too, have misrepresented The Way, as the Bible refers to the religion of Yashua's disciples after his resurrection.

  • ur sarcasm is all over this. u only pointed out how man used it for evil. u took a far step back. come closer and study the history.

  • Truth is not to be found in a book. Furthermore, such a book merely presents a barrier to progress in your search for truth. Independent inquiry is needed in your search for truth, not dependence on anyone else's view or mere book.' Bruce Lee

  • This video mentions but casually overlooks the fact that Christianity spread throughout most of the Roman Empire *in spite of official and unofficial persecution*, and to Ireland not by force as far as I know- St. Patrick was taken as a slave. It was a shame that so much of Christianity had to ride in on the back of imperialistic ambitions, but I doubt most Protestants did so by force (not too sure about the Catholics, that church has had a poor record which is why I remain firmly Protestant!)

  • Swearing at people will do you no good.

  • Firstly, you have an obscene problem with proper grammar. Secondly you are really preaching tolerance and love of other people.

    Be realistic: What would happen if someone wanted to build a Christian church in Islam? What if someone wanted to build a Mosque in the UK or the USA?

    Finally, I am not a Christian, I am an atheist, another idea which is strictly forbidden in Islam.

  • Compare the Christian nations to the Islamic nations.

    Christians are far more tolerant.

    Muslims are purposefully immigrating to the UK and very quickly reproducing in order to establish a majority there.

    Want to see a majority Muslim UK?

    Think it'll end up like Afghanistan?

  • "Compare the Christian nations to the Islamic nations Perhaps in mordern times, but there was a time when the things were the other way around, when Christian nations were intolerant and barbaric and the Muslim nation a beacon for knowledge and civilization. So what's your point again?

  • bull shit kasikistain is mainly muslim 52% how is it a part of chritianity

  • All religions are like a virus

    They give people false hopes, make people blind and spread wars and prejudice throughout the world!!

    All religions suck and they should just become extinct! Then the earth would be a better place to live!

  • 4th What happen to "Zoroastrianism" the religion of Great Persians Empire mondon modern day Iraq/Iran one of those two.

    5th "How did it cross the sea" is becasue of spice,silk, etc, since the Ottoman Empire, Turks blocked all trade going to euro, etc.

    This will take forever talking about the past, just want to get things clear.. Is STOP talking about religions.. it only cause what is happening now.. thats the thing we should question our self. Why now?

  • you should know zoastram was found in afghanistain

  • This guy doesn't seem to know his/her history well..

    1st Romans empire was Pagan, before it spit into two's, and it was Constantine the first (Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantine) who really spread christian after his battle.

    2nd You have forgotten Islam attack Constantinople not onces, but 3 times. in 635-689 can't remember.

    3rd Inquisition was formed in 12th century, for other purpose(long history)

  • awesome virus:)

  • all religion are shit, specially the ones of a "True Unique God"

  • Missionaries spread religion, haven't you ever traveled to any of the places you talk about in this video?? Probably not, you don't spell or use the right wording thoughout most of this video, not to mention other obvious inaccuracies. Anti-religious nuttjob is what you are...probably some dumb little faggot kid that made this video and is angry that he/she has to go to church every Sunday instead of playing video games and screwing their Mom/Dad. haha loser. read a book.

  • According to me a TRUE religion does not need to prove itself worthy to be followed, people will happily convert to a true religion. Abrahamic religion fail in this case since they were spread by force and conquer.

  • Christianity: The only super virus that saves

  • What a great lie. I mean come on it has never been about saving people rather SPIRITUAL MARKETING. most converted Christians from other religions only converted because of the benefits offered by the missionaries not because they were impressed by Christianity.

  • all religion is spread by force.

    religion uses doublespeak

    peace = war

    love = hate

    openminded = closedminded

    etc.

  • Not really I reverted back to Paganism from Christianity but there is hardly any evidence of Paganism spreading by sword!!! I even did a little research about eastern religions and found no proof about Eastern religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism etc. being spread by force, torture, bribe etc. So you can't really say that without any evidence.

  • islam wasnt spread by force

    they taught

  • My friend I know that sometimes truth is bitter to swallow but you must accept it. for example Persia, Some North African countries, India, Turkey(Byzantine) etc. all of these countries were forced to accept Islam. While Few escaped others were unlucky. The only people who i can think of who embrace Islam peacefully were Arabs, Turks and few north African tribes other than that all were forced.

  • deltaforcedf- Granted, The regimes were fought, the ones that prevented the word of Islam from reaching the people, but the people themselves were not forced to convert. Whoever came to Islam as an individual did so on his or her own volition.

  • Yes very true, that's why you see the Wise open-minded Christians converting to Islam, especially Priests.. However, you see the racist, stupid, hypocrite Muslims converting to Christianity.. Until now never saw a wise man who left Islam.. Either faithless, or stupid..

  • shut up about fake bible......

    no-one said anything about muslims so why you starting.....what the hell is allah.....some breathing noise? GOD is what your ment to say, pray 5 times a day? really? hahahahaha i dont think so.....come to my school and ask the muslims here hw meny times they pray.....the truth is.....they dont.....so dont be so ignorant you idiot.

    PROUD TO BE A ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN.

    PEACE TO ALL CHRISTIANS.

  • all of those christian on the map,they are believe in that religion or pray ,or real ur holy fake bible?????

    but how about islam?? all of they u see all of they believe in islam,pray5 times daily.... its the real religion, its grow up so fast.

    thanks allah im a muslim, and i hpe u take my soul when im muslim :)

  • The number of people who believe in a religion doesn't prove it to be true. You like all people of religious faith have convinced yourself that only you can be right. From a completely subjective view of all religions the differences between them are minor and without consequence. Some would argue that less common beliefs are false because the number of people who believe in them is smaller although their convictions are no less based in reality than yours or any others.

  • I m not saying that Christianity is evil or anything. I respect Jesus a lot too. But christians are not good since they make spirituality a business. All religions are TRUE and GOOD.

  • You sound like a reasonable and open-minded person, and I commend you for that. Personally I believe only one belief can point to God because many contradict each other. If I served God through Islam I would have a false image of God; which would offend God. If I served God through Judaism I would deny that God sent his son, which would mean I couldn't be saved from my sins by him, if I was polytheistic I would deny that God alone reigns the universe, which would greatly anger him.

  • My brother I was once a Christian too until I found out what Christianity had made me. I read the bible but it hardly affected me or my lifestyle. Then I started to look for evidence about Christianity being the one true religion. The only way to God. But I was shocked when I came to know the truth about Christianity being a false religion. I found no devotion in Christianity. Watch this video and you will know the truth about Christianity.

    watch?v=t2lplKeqqZk

  • You don't sound like a reasonable and open-minded person. You don't come strait out and say it but you have basically stated that Christianity is the only true religion which is the same BS that all religions spew. It is pointless to tell you so because it will only offend you and bring about the standard religious defenses, but Christianity is full of contradictions and you are brainwashed just like all the other religious robots out there.

  • f I served God through Islam I would have a false image of God" You mean a God who cannot be compared to anything else, instead of a God who has eyes, even though he's all seeing, and has hands even though he's omnipotent etc.. A God who says he's one and sticks to it, instead of "seemingly" being 3-in-1? I'm sorry, butYour image of what God is the one that is offensive to God.

  • That assumes that there can be no metaphor in the case of "eyes" and "hands" (although literally the case for God incarnate- that is, Jesus). Furthermore, that God is one but three Persons is not inconsistent- He is one Being still, if expressed as three Persons. It is only "offensive" to your view of God, not if God is truly as expressed by Christianity.

  • You only think the 3-in-1 theory is OK because you've been fed it since childhood. Your notion of God is not only offensive to Muslims, its Offensive to Jews too; remember them? the people whom the OT was revealed unto.

  • Making no real attempt at trying to refute the trinitarian claim. How I learned it (you presume an awful lot about my childhood) or who it offends do not prove something is true, or consistent, or not. Remember also the Jews are human too and can make mistakes regarding their own scriptures- there seem to be plenty of suggestions I can think of which show the existence of a plurality of persons in the Godhead- why for example is the One God referred to as plural "Elohim" in the creation account?

  • "why for example is the One God referred to as plural "Elohim" in the creation account? " because in Semetic languages Majestic plural is use for showing respect to God. Even in Arabic, most cases when God refers to himself he uses plural form. That is really not a proof of the trinity, your only basing your judgment on what you know of the English language, the Hebrew and Arabic languages are very, VERY different from Englih.

  • Thanks. Really that probably isn't a terribly good example- it's just the first thing that came off the top of my head. One thing I do want to ask is how it is so very different to English- or at least the archaic forms of English? There is after all the expression know as the "royal we"...

  • "Making no real attempt at trying to refute the trinitarian claim" Because until that time I hadn't realized it was a refutation session, bu anyway, the best refutation for the trinitarian claim is that It was only understood centuries after the departure of Jesus from this world (early Christians did not teach this article of faith) - even the apostles never said "the Father, the son and the holy Ghost" in the same sentence. Care to comment on that last part?

  • Hardly what I'd consider a good refutation. True, the obvious evidence for the trinity is not directly in the text (unless you assume the Johannine Comma is genuine), but there is evidence for the divinity of Jesus (e.g. "before Abraham was, I am"- John 8:58). Jesus prays to God the Father, so they are not the same Person. Also for the Personhood of the Holy Spirit, separate to Jesus and the Father (see John 14:16 for example). They don't use the modern theological lingo, but it's there...

  • "unless you assume the Johannine Comma is genuine' I don't, which is something most biblical scholars agree on. If anything the Comma Johanneum is a good example of the Church desperately trying to come up with a verse that explicitly supports the trinity when there is non. As for Jesus praying to the father, yes that does mean they are not the same person, but it also means they are not equal. remember God is the head of Jesus, Jesus is the head of man

  • Comment removed

  • How is any system that teaches people to believe unconditionally without evidence or proof good?

    How is any system that teaches people to remain ignorant of facts and reality good?

    How is any system that teaches intolerance of any other way of thinking but your own good?

    How is any system that teaches that life is not meant to be enjoyed and should be spent in the pursuit of death because life doesn't truly begin until after you die good?

    Stop being Politically correct religion is death.

  • so eazy to bash A religion. aND whut du u uphold? Whats your sacred truth, whtz ur oath> eazy to bash. mAYbe you rather be brought up by cannibals? were they better? wELL theY lost losers losers losers losers get over your bash love affair

  • Yes it is easy to bash religion, If it made sense or was based in reality and logic then it wouldn't be easy to "bash". To your argument about cannibals I would say this, An extremely important christian ritual is that of communion where you symbolically eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus. They aren't actually eating human flesh but the intent is the same. So were they better? Hell are they different? Also it doesn't help your argument or case if you can't even form a coherent sentence.

  • An extremely important christian ritual is that of communion where you symbolically eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus.

    so you believe this to be true then. just bread buddy.

  • Most Protestants don't believe that- Catholics and Eastern Orthodox do ("transsubstantiation""). We believe it's only a symbol.

  • And these christians are still not satisfied with their achievement that they still want to Christianize the whole world.

  • You're right in a sense, but from my perspective it's about saving as many people as possible before it's too late for them.

  • My friend people out there have other religions and boy its not and has never been about saving but a business. Since whenever there is a disaster or anything missionaries are first to aid but only if they convert. And let me tell you that MOST CORRUPTED people in the world are christians. Do you even know how Christianity took over Europe by killing the pagans? NO ONE IS GOING TO GO TO HELL IF THEY DON'T CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY and its never late for any one to revert to their mother religion.

  • What evidence do you have that the most evil people in the world are Christians? Atheist leaders haven't exactly done a lot of good in Soviet Russia, nor are their hands clean from bloodshed.

  • Christianity is corrupted because Christians are corrupted. Most sinful people in the world are christians. Most Christians are Atheists and do all kinds of Sins such as sex, Alcohol, drugs, etc. There is absolutely no DEVOTION in Christianity. Christianity destroyed the history of Pagan Europe. Their missionaries believe that there is no truth BUT the Biblical truth. One example is the NAZI how they murdered millions of Jews without thinking at all that the god they believe in was also a JEW.

  • How can you say that most Christians are Atheists? A Christian by definition is someone who believes in both Jesus and God (is monotheistic) an Atheist is someone who doesn't. Polar opposites.

    I agree that many Christians are corrupt but as a Christian myself I also know that every single person in the world is sinful, not just certain groups.

  • LOL every person in the world is SINFUL. Wow how about you look at the Christian culture and values and then compare it to the world. Christians are Pornstars, Drug Addicts, Psychos etc. If you come out of the Christian world you will see the beauty of culture and values. Man if you have about 2.1 billion adherents from which most are converted by either force (pagan europe), deceit, bribe, etc they wouldn't always be loyal to Christianity.

  • Ah, but if you compare the percentage of Christians against non-Christians who do these things then you'll get a different story.

  • Again do not confuse nations with a lot of nominal Christians, or nations that have been traditionally Christian, with actual Christianity. Genuine Christianity is opposed to such and seeks to bring people out of it. And many have turned from such lifestyles to follow Christ!

  • For example there is an African boy in my School who says that he is Christian but has never read the Bible or never goes to the Church and has no beliefs in Christianity whatsoever. Therefore he is an Atheist because he is a Christian for just name but not religious at all.

  • He's not an Atheist unless he denies the existence of God. I haven't read the whole bible, but I'm certainly not an Atheist.

  • He also denies the existence of God and everything else about the religion.

  • Then he isn't a Christian, because a Christian has to believe in God.

  • Not all "Christians" really are, and the rest of us are not perfect. There are many examples of genuine Christianity where people have turned away from such things to follow Christ.

    Naziism is far from most accepted forms of Christianity, though they used religious rhetoric for their own ends, and some followers may have been nminal Christians. You forget those who were, vocally or quietly, opposed to it (Dietrich Boenhoffer, Corrie ten Boom, &c.)

  • Nazism is actually cult like, Hitler became the most racist man after he visited a cult, it's not a form of Christianity

  • Agreed. I said merely they used religious (even Christian-sounding) rhetoric, however, though I presume it was merely for political advantage (or warped thinking)- but it was far from anything that can sensibly be called Christian.

  • @ thelyniezian Nazi's like Hitler were Christian I think, but they were hypocrite because the acts they did were very un-Christian, for example, they killed millions and killing is against the Christianity and considered evil

  • No one should ever change from one religion to another. History has shown that all religion is a poison to rational minds and will destroy everyone. A mind closed to reality that accepts only what a primitive perspective on life has to offer is a sad state of being indeed. So I say no "mother religion" of nature worship no ancient rituals and irrational beliefs the best kind of religion is the kind that has been discarded as the ignorance and death that it really is.
