Ever have your pure love for someone lied about and dragged through the mud? Much less have people deny you ever suffered a horrible experience. It hurts. There is only one truth about Jesus. Not multible, PROFOUNDLY conflicting stories.

The truth is it is your truth or his truth, Jesus ( the person or what he supposedly did) is not everyone's truth and certainly not mine, I am an atheist.

People love to live in darkness, so they call Christianty a sham or to put fear in to one, a way to justify the means.

One almost never sees that same kind of thing when it comes to Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism or Islam.

Gosh, I'll bet that more than half of the threads on this forum are about saying Christianity is a sham. Why is that? Why is it so important to some that Christianity be shown as not true?

I do find it interesting that so many on this forum find it important to say Christianity is bunk. I have my theories-mostly having to do with "what if what the NT says is really true".

Maybe because those of us who are other religions and traditions don't spend our time telling others they are going to hell.... think about it.....

Christianity is a sham.

You not believing that the NT is true doesn't mean it isn't true. It doesn't create a seperate truth, it creates a seperate lie. Either you are right or you are wrong. There is no two seperate truths on the matter. I find giving Jesus the benifit of the doubt to be the way to go. If you give him the chance and believe him to be the guy he said he was, and did as he did in the NT, you'll find you start living within the phylosophy of the Christian Buddhist. THat there is spiritual deaths and rebirths, with God's compassion inbetween.

DoH for the very simple reason that judaism, buddhism, hinduism and islam are very small minorities in this country. People living in the US and classifying themselves as christian are the vast majority that are posting here.

Why as the most visible religion and majority religion are you trying to brand yourself in persecuted martyrdom.

You are not the martyr you are trying to be, you're special, just like everyone else.

You believing it is doesn't make it true. So again, it is YOUR truth.
I am not going to believe JUST to believe, THAT would be a lie. I need real proof and there is none.

My mother is Catholic, I know all about it. Want NOTHING to do with it.

Interesting article about the similarities between Christianity and Islam faith. http://www.sierraf.org/articles/Nelson.pdf. If every religion would love God and their neighbor as themselves, we would not have the problems we have in this world. Its a shame there are so many hypocrites!

There is a very good reason this is the case. The father of all lies, the ruler of this present evil world is active in trying to hurt the only real truth in the universe. He would be pleased if all mankind were Muslims, Buddists or any other religon other than Christianity. Those beliefs pose no threat to him while Christianity has already defeated him and eventually will totally defeat him. It's a spiritual war and it has been going on since Adam.
