Someone actually had to do a study about this? I would think a glancing look at history would result in the same conclusion

All Christians believe (1) that Jesus of Nazareth WAS, and (2) that he ascended into Heaven. That's a miracle! Read Francesco Carotta and Joseph Atwill and you will find out (proof positive) (1) Jesus never WAS and (2) the guy who Jesus imitated was Titus Caesar.... Christians should read more!

[Noel08Blueheart]

Yes but all Christians have a different definition of miracles. Most Christians don't believe moving statues are a miracle... THAT'S my point. Pay attention a little better; I shouldn't have to repeat myself when you can reread what I said.

[sebreathnach]

All Christians do believe in miracles; you do go on in circles; and what is it you really want?

[Noel08Blueheart]

Okay that's you shouldn't assume. Not all Christians claim to see "miracles". I myself and my family who are all life-long Christians believe that a load of bull and and attempt for demonitions to proove their demonition is the true Christianity.

You call someone guillible because of their opinion, but that only means you are as well.

What are you even talking about I'm going in circles on my own? Are you so inept at comebacks that you have to throw mine back with no logic?

[sebreathnach]

Being gullible and uncritical and apt to see 'moving statues', 'angels and demons' and 'beanshees', has everything to do with intelligence. As to 'going in circles'... well, you seem to be quite good at it all on your ownio!

[Noel08Blueheart]

Being religious has nothing to do with intelligence. Religious views, or a lack there of, are a matter of opinion, not mental compentence. Yes you can have an unintelligent opinion, but whether or not that opinion is intelligent is also a matter of opinion. So we're just going in circles, aren't we?

And I know well enouph about Scripture, thank you. If I did want to know about it, I would read hmmm well Scripture. Keep your silly referals to yourself...

If anyone wants to know of the very violent nature of the Roman Catholic Church -- not just in WW11 or in schools across the world, but from its inception -- read David Ranan's 'Double Cross'. He traces the lies, the forgeries, the camaigns, the war-attitudes from early Italy to George Bush...

[sebreathnach]

How can religion be any more intelligent than the humans who created it?? This is the philosophy of the Leprechaun. As Woody Allen says: 'I don't want to be a member of a club that accepts me as equal'. You have a problem bro... If you want to know abou 'Scripture' , read Francesco Carotta and Joseph Atwill online...

[Noel08Blueheart]

This is the ignornace humans...not the ignorance of religion. The early Roman Catholics were more concerned with their church than with God. They sometimes followed man-made church doctrine more before the scripture of the Bible. There are always people, and groups of people, who will violent and ignorant about their religion.
