My favorite subject. A chance to lash out against Christianity. Ok let me start off by saying that I was born Catholic, I attended church as a child. I have been going to Catholic schools since third grade.
My point here is not to offend anyone, but express my beliefs. So I will go out and say it. Christianity is a crock. Study history, I mean real history, not just what teachers teach you. If you do you will realize how much Christianity borrowed from other religions (Well in truth Judaism borrowed these beliefs from it\'s roots in Mesopotamia, but Christianity is an extension on Judaism) You will even find out the source of many of the Old Testament stories such as Moses. There was an Egyptian Pharoah by the name of Moses who started the belief in one God, granted it was Ra, but out of that springs the story of Moses. Anyway I\'m getting off topic. A lot of the Old Testament is borrowed from religions that existed around the roots of Judaism. Noah, Genesis, all borrowed. The New Testament however is harder to clarify. The only proof of Jesus and such is based on faith. Faith is a hard thing to base on arguement on, from both sides. My belief is that a man, maybe a teacher existed. I do not however believe he was divine. I believe that the Church has glorified his status. One of the biggest debates is if he even died a virgin (Mary Magdeline sp?). Anyway I better end this as I could go on all day. Again I didn\'t mean to offend anyone, we all have our own beliefs.
Christianity is and always has tried to stick it\'s neck into issues it shouldn\'t have anything to do with. I\'m not singling it out, nearly every religion does this.
Skwirl, sorry to see you go, especially over such a pointless debate.
