Very log winded with a questionable conclusion.

italo: BECAUSE THEY ARE BLOODY JEALOUS HYPOCRITES!

Or how else can we explain it that protestants bow, kneel, prostrate and even enslave themselves to the bible (a book) and their pastors (men)...

Yet turn around to complain about Catholics?

You're right, Catholics and Protestants are equally misguided.

Danhumprey: It's now a war between Catholics and Protestants? Smh!

There have always been wars between Protestants and Catholics.

Have you never heard of the Irish troubles? Or the various other conflicts fought in Europe between the two factions?

TheBigUrban2: Ask Pastor AIO and Texanomaly about their christian views.


The typical british christian is a liberal one.


But you are a typical Nigerian christian....meaning that you are a conservative bigot. Sorry

Religious bigotry is more acceptable in some places than others - where you have gross inequality and minimal state involvement in the reduction of said inequality, bigotry usually follows.

This is why you can be a religious bigot in a Nigeria or Texas but not so much in northern Europe.

You might want to consider this book by Christopher Hitchens:

Ask R. Kelly...

She doesn't say anything of note.

I actually don't know who or what she is referring to.

Nor do I care.

RikoduoSennin: If the bolded is true, what then can be said about Atheism and Agnosticism. They too as much as anybody else manifest these two traits as well as others. Arrogance, intolerance, Pride, haughtiness etc you name it!
No
It is wrong to believe/Conclude this traits are heightened because of religion. They are in all of us but some religion like christianity helps its members to control/get rid of those traits not the other way around.

Agnosticism is not a religion. If anything it describes an indifference to the allure of religion.

You have zero evidence for your claim that xtianity helps to get rid of these negative traits. It that were truly the case there would not be so many different churches, each with different dogmas and hierarchies.

Did you know that animosity between the Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches is so great that the keys for some of the major xtian tourist sites in Israel have to be kept by Muslims...

e.g.

All religions help to foster an "us" vs "them" mentality.

If you are not part of the in group then you are destined for some unknown, horrible place in the afterlife...

ProphetUdeme: lol. Bad boy longtime no see.. Were u de hide?

Busy enjoying a god free life.

Cash money.

They can't get your money if you don't go to their church to be brainwashed.

JWs claim only 144,000 people will go to heaven.

By that estimation the overwhelming majority of the church going sheep are really wasting their time in trying to placate this rapacious god of theirs.

Only a fool looks to the Bible for guidance.

The greatest threat to religion is discovery by way of thorough, unprejudiced investigation.

So god sanctioned the painful death of millions? He wanted children to lose their parents? Husbands to lose wives? Communities to be ravaged?

Religion absolves the sheep of any sense of responsibility.

The Life of Brian.

latino2swt: stil don't get d gist... pls can u help me more by throwin more light on it? thanks

If you are foolish enough to believe that:

1. A benevolent god created the world then banished the only two human beings that he created from the garden that he created for them because they ate a piece of fruit

2. That same god had to come to the earth as his own son, forcing a young betrothed woman to carry him. Then commit deicide in order that the 'sins' of mankind be forgiven.

Then your judgement should never be trusted.

Anyone irrational enough to believe in the xtian message should recuse themselves from public life.

At various points in their history all of the major religions have used violence to spread their message.

MOBJECTIVE: It'll make things shorter and simpler. I'm quite tired of this topic already

You mean that it will make it easier to attack him personally instead of addressing the issue.

MOBJECTIVE: First of all, Muslim or Protestant, or atheist op?

What difference does it make? Why not debate the issue?

Crazy people.

Send me your money and follow me. Your life won't change for better or for worse but I will make better use of your money than you.

What makes your brand of xtianity any less of a scam?

TheBigUrban2: It doesnt exist, smartazz


They arent registered in Nigeria (they've been continuously turned down from being regsitered for "religiously bigoted unspecific"reasons)...but they have a facebook

Not being registered means that they are not recognised by the state that is not the same as not existing.

You could join the preexisting Nigerian Humanist Association.

If Nigerian xtians are anything like their counterparts elsewhere in the world then they are probably willing to tolerate the homosexuals in the church so long as they appear to be 'doing the Lord's work'.

Vision2045: ....Tell me the point of communication of others to you...The bible and the Quran is the Gods medium of communication to humanity take it or leave it...both contains thing that have happened, that is happening and will happen...don't educate yourself wrongly..I respect your freedom of choice...but your kind of choice I don't respect...forget the fact that people re taking religious for what its not...read any1 u can read out of the 2...I sense u re educated and intelligent...read it with a open mind...question some things and it will reveal the answer to u.

If god inspired the Quran or the Bible then he is a god of confusion and mediocrity. Why send two books - one in Arabic, the other in a plethora of middle eastern languages that are not and were not understood outside of that immediate region.

Also, most people of the time were not literate so what sense does it make to send a book to those who cannot read?

What do you people have against formatting text?

Do paragraphs offend you?

italo: There's proof.

You just prefer to die in ignorance...than research the truth.

Lourdes Medical Bureau is looking for the most Atheist of scientists.

Have you made any effort?

The tilma has been found to have human properties by Atheist opthalmologists.

You...you're just a loud-mouthed olodo behind a keyboard.

Did these people discount the other possible, more likely, factors?

Did they turn their backs on modern medicine entirely? Would any rational person do that?

P. S.
I don't know what an olodo is. Please use English or Latin, the language of your overlords.

Sounds more like mental illness.
