And parents that don't beat their property once in a while, are opening their property up for beatings in the school of hard knocks of life, later.
Instead of using defenceless children as punch bags as outlet for your latent aggression. Why not encourge them to take up physical sports to increase their self-defense, such as Judo. Funny old Christians. Always finding a way to justify your violence.  |

Do your kids a favor. Make them to be real Christians.
Care to explain how deceiving kids into turning their backs on God and start worshipping man, is doing them a favor? |

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Sounds like a loving Jesus
He's talking about choosing to follow His teachings. We need to leave the earthly cares behind, and follow Him with all of our heart and care about what He wants us to do. It's for a situation like where you have to take the mark of the beast or die, your family is telling you to take it and taking it themselves. He wouldn't want you to do it just for the love of your family, versus following what the Holy Spirit is saying and staying away from it. Gimpeline interpreted the verse his way, you interpreted your way. Who's to say which of you is right or wrong. Well the bible clearly says to love everyone as yourself See, even that is wide open to interpretation. |

Have you given up saying Christianity is based on fear?
Yes. BADecker has just confirmed Christainity is fear based. There is no need for me to continue pressing this fact. He done all the hard work for me.  He just just threaten me with the good old "believe or else" sketch. You better learn about God and fear Him a bit. Even though He offers forgiveness, there will come a time when He will withdraw the offer from all those who won't accept it. And His power is way beyond the power of a big man who has a gun out of its holster. Don't tick God off if you know what's good for you.

You have taught US poorly if your claim that Christ claimed to be a "savior" cannot stand up to scrutiny.
Precisely. There is no sound reason to believe Christ is our savior. Even slightly poking this huge claim it crashes down in flames. There is only one thing keeping this house of cards savior thing up. Wishful thinking. |

You are on a dead end "buddy".
Best regards.
Since you've admitted turning your back to God by worshipping man (i.e. The Pope), maybe it's you who has hit that dead end. Something to think about... Even Christianity is based on fear. The fear of 'the Judgement day'.
That just doesn't make sense. If you believe, there's nothing to fear from judgement, because believing in Jesus saving us means we won't be judged for our sins at the judgement, and if you don't believe, well you aren't going to be afraid of something you don't believe in, right? This is actually a fundamental problem- Christianity takes away responsibility and gives all responsibility to Jesus, which kind of makes all of the ethical codes unnecessary, although Jesus emphasizes the permanence of the old testament law. Just one of many contradictions. You can really see the development of Christian theology if you read church history, although I think the council of Nicea was one of the definitive moments. It doesn't take away responsibility, because once you're saved and have the Holy Spirit inside of you, you will feel convicted of your sin and want to stop doing it. You will become more Christ-like as you live and follow the commandments. Yes, and what drives you to stop doing it? FEAR of what will happen if you don't. You seem to be obsessed about molding Christianity into something it isn't. Everybody knows what it is, why it was invented, what it stands for, how it spreads, the rules it's sets down for followers etc... It seems pointless to me painting it into a different picture when everyone already knows what the picture looks like. Majority of people it was drilled into them at childhood. |

Dear you are wrong here, Religion not divide people it tell you how to live your life the difference is that some people follow right thing and some are following wrong...
You don't need some grubby old book or dubious religious cult to tell you how to live your life, why not just use your common sense? I've relied on mine in life and it's fared me well enough so far. |

White people need to pay for what they done, ban whites from jobs.
Yeah I'm up for that. The whites can then relax and enjoy life whilst the blacks are sweating working 16 hour days. We can then tax them into oblivion and give that money to the whites so they wouldn't need to work. When do we start!  |

Nobody wants to just accept death imminently.
Why not? They are allegedly going to straight to heaven right? Why delay it any longer? Good for them, good for us. Win win. |

Self being, self aware without being told or taught, then you have you very own and very private form of religion.
Master of your own religion or a slave to someone else's. I like that.  |

Yes, that's a sad news. Saw this today.
Yeah I agree with you but here's a thought. If Banksy suddenly admitted tomorrow that he himself threw the paint on his own picture, would you suddenly like it? |

Everyone has right to live his life by his own opinion.. opinion varies among people but this is not right you attack on someone's religion's or his believes...
So you have no problems with what ISIS is doing then? Their religious belief is to go round killing people. If we followed your advice, we would not be allowed to criticise them. ISIS and Atheists both like to kill people, cutting their throats or go to school and start shooting. Christians never do that. Based on empiric facts. What's this got to do with my argument? |

They are not even able to follow the Pope which is Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth.
I follow the leader Jesus Christ. He led by example and the bible details it. I don't follow humans who sin.
Just listen to yourselves. It's like two children in a playground squabbling over who's got the best yo-yo. What you fail to see is that you both worship man. You have been all along. I'm surprised with all this man worshipping going on you've got any time left for God.  Catholics worship the pope. ( MAN) Christians worship Jesus. ( MAN) You're alot closer to each other than you would both care to admit. Naturally of course you will deny this till your blue in the face. So please don't bother replying. |

... based on fear.
You are a Christian, then! No. Fortunately I don't subscribe to any religious cults. Rational thinking won't allow me to. |
