@AmericanPrideForEver Christianity (baptist, catholic, etc.) covers 33% of the world. I just dont see how you think the other 67% of religions are bad? That is just plain out ignorant and arrogant. And yes science does have an explanation for how everything started. christians do not believe it because it does not agree with their views. If you think a good, charitable, peaceful, hard working member of society is going to hell because he does not believe in god then I have nothing more to say.

No Buddha is considered a god but they are teachers. To teach people who believe in the Buddhism to be a better person for an example and to love everyone with kindness and compassion. I am Buddhist and i am not saying my religion is better or your religion is worst. Just be happy about what Religion you believe in. what the American pride guy said "All religions that does not obey the Bible are bad" That is your opinion but not everybody believes that.

@AmericanPrideForEver Sorry to step in here was just browsing around when I saw this comment. You make the statement about graven images etc, but I always see elaborate churches with large crosses, images and statues of mary and jesus as well as angels etc. Are these not... "any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath", just curious what allows these types of things through, they are not god.

@AmericanPrideForEver wrong. 

[ninjatomaster]

@AmericanPrideForEver You can't explain it either. You can give us a creation story, but there's no indication that it's true.

[AmericanPrideForEver]

@Sbarua26 You atheists can't even explain how the world started and how life was formed. Also, I never did, and never will respect any unbiblical religion!

[Sbarua26]

@AmericanPrideForEver ha ha ha ha see I asked the same question to a Muslim freak, Hindu freak, a Buddhist freak and now you. You all 4 freaks give me the same answer. I am not kidding. I am gonna put them on my book. That's the reason why we don't need religion. Religion needs us. Try to love every one. Try to respect all the religions.

@Sbarua26 Not all religions are good! All religions that does not obey the Bible are bad! And God does not tolerate idolatry and any rebellion to him! Because he is the creater and the supreme ruler!

[Sbarua26]

@AmericanPrideForEver just want everyone to love each other and help each other. And not to make any comments on any religion. If someone believe in ISLAM or CHRISTIANITY is all good. Just don't say your religion is the BEST!! That's all! Is it too much to ask?
