The reason Christianity got so strong historically is literacy. Clergy could read and almost no one else could.

But still, it wasnt a good idea to call yourself an atheist in 1350... At least thats something that we have to give muslims historically, they were far more tolerant to other beleifs than their own.

Maybe thats why Christianity had to spread the way it did, because islam was more civilized and more appealing.

Man, you guys (atheists, agnostics, christians, and everyone else here it seems) have the most primitive view of religion. Kind of sad, really. It can't be real because it's an old man in the sky! lol. As was said before, yawn.

Well i have many many reasons to view christian religion as bullshit, but the white bearded guy in the sky is a good start, yea. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That doesnt mean i dont respect people like Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu and Oscar Romero. At the same time that faith in the afterlife can cause some really bad shit, for these guys, it gives them a courage that ill probably never have. Id probably stop before getting shot in the chest like Romero.

I just can't be bothered to care about religion shenanigans. Sorry, I tackled my demons when I was in my teens.... been there, done that. Can we move on to something more interesting?

Youre welcomed to start a thread on the possibility of life in a sea underneath the icy crust of Jupiter's moon Europa if you like... or whatev. Although that would have gotten you burned to the stake in 1600...

The bible is the best drama ever written, it's got murder, mayhem, betrayal, romance, treason, war, plague, famine, heroes, heroines, and an apocalyptic and glorious ending.

90% of people who think they're Christians definitely get it totally wrong, but the bible is still a damn good read even if the fanatics skew the meanings all over the place.

I'd be paralyzed from the waist down if it wasn't for surgery - sorry, but modern medicine doesn't need to prove itself to me any more than it already has.
