the two posters who said they are catholic should have voted "christian".. lol

by the way, Albert Einstein was a fraud and a plagiarist, in case you did not know. An Italian named De Pretto first published E=MC2 and Einsten was a patent clerk who lifted all his "works" from other scientists.

I don't really claim a religion but parts of Taoism and Buddhism I find interesting.

The US is about 75% Christian and climbing with the immigrants from Mexico, who are about 90% Christian, being the fastest growing race in the US.

God bless the USA, I am a proud Christian and am very glad our neighbors from the south are Christians as well. Welcome to America Mexicans!

the US isn't christian it is Roman Catholic,there is a difference in the teachings

christ said call no man your father yet catholics take pride in having a go between[the pope]:defintion=father



christ taught that the father is in him and him in us therefore the father is in us,


the word catholic means universal and christ didn't come to bring the world together under one religion

you first.

Short cliff notes version here:

Where did the original atom come from?

In order to have a big bang, you have to have something there to bang. There has to be an originator, an original energy that we cannot fathom, this energy is obviously all powerful and beyond our comprehension, Godly.

Further scientific research led me to believe in the Christan version of God.

Now your turn.

No idea what the big bang has to do with Jesus. And seconding burrito, id love to hear the 'scientific research' that led you to Christianity.

I love how with there's 99% of shit that can be explained but 1% not, that has to be the part of god.

What is it about god that you need so bad??? That you have to believe blindly in the face of overwhelming evidence that deities are fiction. Zeus, Thor, were they not good enough. The Christians have to kill races of people to force their new savior onto people who dont want it, now you're gonna sit here & say its real???? What the fuk is wrong with this goddamn world???

wrong on both counts.

there are clearly levels of intelligence

we are smarter than a dog or cat in the sense that we are aware we are alive and someday will die

I find it hard to believe we are at the top of intelligence pole

I kneel to nothing representing a higher power.

wrong on both counts.

please enlighten me,I am looking for truth

is this your opinion?

[THE PROFIT]

I think we are the aliens. There has to be more intelligent life forms that have evolved. We cant figure out how to cap an oil well. Is it because its underwater? There were hundreds burning in Kuwait, we stopped all them.

Jews are the best at makin money (monopolies/collusion/rigging etc) and in a capitalist economy that means they run the show especially when they monopolize the media as well and being the richest group does tend to lead to being the smartest group, you could be the smartest guy on earth in Bangladesh and ur gonna starve to death but if you're fairly intelligent and your parents send ya to the best schools in the country you're going to come out brighter than average

There are plenty of Poor, down and out jews as well. All over this Country and World. thanks God I am not one of them. I worked very hard for all that I have.

christians don't kill,you confuse what the roman catholics did in the name of christianity

they have an agenda to rule the earth as the name catholic implies and use the cover of purity which christ provides

their new savior is the antichrist who will rule the earth as the world dictator when all the countries unite

the world economy will eventually need a world government if it doesn't already have one

damn this is getting too silly, the antichrist is supposed to bring about the end of the earth, according to church doctrines

and you're referring to the crusades, there were no protestants back then!

i picked other. Thankfully I was not brainwashed when I was kid so i dont have a "religion", but they sure did try. Went to church until i was about 10 or 11.

Breaking away from church at a young age must have floored my mother. When she was a young woman pre-marriage, she was being recruited to become a missionary. LOL

is this a question?

I admit to it being silly,the whole idea of giving your power over to a "religion" is silly to me,so the things one must understand to free yourself can eventually make you seem a bit retarded to someone with a different perspective

I would liken it to a child at a funeral,their behavior doesn't make sense to anyone but them and it's because they aren't aware enough

so to the aware the unaware are retarded and to the unaware the aware are retarded

stupid is as stupid does is another way of saying it

as far as crusades and protestants these are political terms that I am not educated enough to have opinions on

I know crusades where somone killing someone else over religion but thats about it and I think protestants are catholics who are against the catholic church

why do you assume i don't believe in a creator?

and that's irrelevant to your spiel about all that matters is jesus christ blah blah blah.

here's the crux of your problem: the bible.

this quote sums it up pretty good:
from "Why the Christian God is Impossible" By Chad Docterman:

Perfection's imperfect revelation
The Bible is supposedly God's perfect Word. It contains instructions to humankind for avoiding the eternal fires of hell. How wonderful and kind of this God to provide us with this means for overcoming the problems for which he is ultimately responsible! The all-powerful God could have, by a mere act of will, eliminated all of the problems we humans must endure, but instead, in his infinite wisdom, he has opted to offer this indecipherable amalgam of books called the Bible as a means for avoiding the hell which he has prepared for us. The perfect God has decided to reveal his wishes in this imperfect work, written in the imperfect language of imperfect man, translated, copied, interpreted, voted on, and related by imperfect man. No two men will ever agree what this perfect word of God is supposed to mean, since much of it is either self- contradictory, or obscured by enigma. And yet the perfect God expects the imperfect humans to understand this paradoxical riddle using the imperfect minds with which he has equipped us. Surely the all-wise and all-powerful God would have known that it would have been better to reveal his perfect will directly to each of us, rather than to allow it to be debased and perverted by the imperfect language and botched interpretations of man.

totally agree with the lack of awareness part.

but anyway protestants are catholics who broke away from the catholic church in the middle ages, mainly due to rampant corruption. so nowadays they aren't considered catholics at all.
