@GenestealerFiend (Cont.)that is different that you will have their very essence of being tortured for all eternity in Hell; the very worst place in existence. Christianity also caused the Dark Ages, mind you. Christianity has prevented scientific advancement for too long and caused too many conflicts. I am a Buddhist because of the hate that Christianity brings in the name of faith. (Note: Christianity as a formal religion with a standard dogma and a large following didn't happen until 300 AD.)

@GenestealerFiend I'm not against people wanting to believe whatever they want, if thats how I come off. I would like to state that when the Red Sea was "split" by Moses, Christianity was NOT a religion, the foundation was there but the dogma and followers weren't. At that time the people you are calling "Christians" were Jewish. I was raised in a Christian family, and Baptized in Holy Water. The only reason I'm no longer Christian is that Christianity teaches that anyone (Cont.)

@MrTimeFox What I think you might misunderstand is that the entire Bible is one whole document, not two. The coming of Christ, prophesied throughout the old testament, is the first half of Scripture. The second half is His life, death, resurrection, and the unveiling of the new covenant. Christianity didn't begin with Jesus' birth. It began even before the foundation of Israel. I'll ask you the same question: How many years have you spent trying to understand Scripture?

@GenestealerFiend The Babylonians pre-dated Christianity.

Religion is what you believe in. I believe that god put the rapstars of today on this world to show people who are following their path to not because it's not worth it to leave your family for a family full of fakes and lies. They just want money and sex because thats the only way they can make up for a lost soul. #SATAN know religion and know hiphop I experienced it first hand :)

@GenestealerFiend I'm calling bullshit, because nobody in there right mind who has studied other religions would take Christianity seriously... You do realize that whoever made religion is the biggest scam artist in the world, or maybe not, but that was back in the past when not much about this word called "science" was known. In the 1600s puritans would believe "the devil" was a tangible object and their dreams were as big of a reality as the real world. You're a dumb cunt for still believing

@MrTimeFox You mean a 3,500 year old book that has over 4,000 historical texts spanning over 2,000 years? A text that has only minorly changed since the 14th century?

Let me ask you and Ty a question: When is the last time you spent any measurable amount of effort researching the Bible and actually reading it? I've studied all other religions over a 20 year period on my journey to faith in Jesus. If you haven't, don't make inflammatory statements from a position of ignorance.

@GenestealerFiend The Babylonians pre-dated most of the Greek city states. Dont act like a know-it-all if you dont truly know and your only source is a 2,000 year old book that has been changed and contorted to fit political standards of different times.

@tytheeman20 Don't preach about things you know nothing about: Christianity is the only religion that processes that faith and trust is the way to salvation, not works.

Christianity is the only religion where God became a man, as opposed to all other religions that teach man can become like God. Also, hammurabi's code was written during the time of the 6th babylonian king... The Bible predates that as the Babylonians are discussed at length by the Patriarchs of Israel.

Religion is backwards bullshit
