name one good thing christianty has brought the world

If someone tells me a child is harmed at the hands of a church, I offer that God is not that church and to stay the fuck away from it... Since ancient times, people have used religion as a method of control and abuse. This is not representative of God though.

The reality is that to a hurting person, Jesus is one of the ONLY things that can truly heal you. Most people will only screw you over again and again. Jesus is not poison, he is life. I respect the fact you are in pain but I am simply trying to open your eyes to the fact that you need not wallow in it any longer.

I could care less about brownies and cupcakes in heaven, just getting there myself is enough of a reward. The reason I try and help is because I hate what has happened to people like yourself. I despise that children are used and abused. I am abhorred by the practices of many people who call themselves christian and claim to speak in God's name.

Please understand that electronic communications take out a large percentage of subtle implied communication and the way you interpret a comment may not be the way it is intended. If I have caused you further pain I apologise. My intention is to help others reach a better place in their lives through a knowledge of Jesus Christ.

There are people out here that care deeply for people like yourself. We wish to help, not hurt. If you are open to it, a lot of good can come as a result.

Sorry about that. Why don't you go explain to your Christian butterfly buddy over there that slavery isn't right just because Christians do it? Maybe they'll listen to one of the flock.

Okay.

So when China imprison, kills, or enslaves people it is wrong because they are Buddhist.

When the US does the same thing (but neat and tidy behind prison doors) it is acceptable because the Christians are morally correct in what they do, yes?.

Can you prove the USA kills people under the banner of Christianity???

Sex with hot, guilty nuns!

If a child was harmed and emotionally traumatised by your bestest most favourite puppy dog in the world that you thought was nothing but love, light, and good. Would you continually shove the dog in the child's face and tell them they just need to pet it? Because that is exactly what you are doing to me. Please, for the love of your ridiculous god, DO NOT EVER go into crisis help or suicide prevention. Someone will end up dead with your help. Seriously.

"One nation under god" love. Weren't you just defending the Christian US and it's wonderful slave system because it wasn't China?

Unconditional Love

GB is actually pretty secular these days. You high?

Have you looked at the Moral Condition of GB???

Suicide and depression on rise across UK...


Rates of suicide and depression are rising in a dramatic demonstration of the human cost of Britain's economic downturn. The "alarming" evidence of the darkening national mood comes as David Cameron draws up plans to measure the sense of "general wellbeing"across the country.

Jesus was the supreme example. While He was being betrayed with a kiss by Judas one of his disciples drew a sword and cut off the ear of the high priest's servant. Jesus said then that all who live by the sword will die by the sword and Jesus then healed the ear that had been cut off. Jesus did this knowing what would shortly be done to Him at the hands of these men.

Christianity teaches us to LOVE. It teaches us to look at our fellow man with love and not with anything that would cause harm in any way to him. Unfortunately hardly anyone lives this way or if they did, the world would be turned upside down. It teaches us not to hurt, harm, or covet our brother in any way. It teaches us to treat others as we would like to be treate.

Christianity teaches us to not be hasty to be angry. That the wrath of man that not being about the will of God. It teaches us there is a hell and people are headed there. It teaches us to overcome evil with good.

Christianity teaches us that man is redeemable. It teaches us that all God desires is that the wicked person turn from his wicked ways. That God has abundant pardon for anyone.

Christianity teaches us not to be like the Muslims who riot when their prophet is evil spoke of. Chritianity teaches us to rather react in love and let God be the avenger of evil.

Shouldn't your own spirit and humanity tell you those very things?

Why do you need a religion to tell you to be good, especially one so brimming full of assholes using the religion as an excuse to hate?

Why is it not already in you? What is wrong?

Salvation and a chance to be with God.

Christianity showed the world just how dangerous organized religion actually is.

No we are not inherently good, as you can plainly see by the state of the world collapsing around us. Humans are in fact inherently evil, which probably goes a long way to explain the pain you have experienced in your life.

What our belief system does (note the deliberate absence of the word 'religion') is teach us that we can choose a better alternative. We cannot do it on our own because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Humanity is sinful and will only continue to get worse until it makes itself extinct.

With any belief system, there will be those who are attracted to it for the power it can give them over those they can manipulate. We need to get past those people and make our own choices.

I'm not sure if any of this is getting through but if you only remember one thing, its this:

Jesus can and will save you. Just call on his name and he will be there. In your last moments if you have to but just remember him...

But who saved people before Christianity was invented?

(Please don't respond with that bit about souls hiding in Abraham's 'bosom'.)

Many of us do actually have morals without needing a religion to tell us so.

I find it interesting that apparently, as you say, many are born without morals and that's why you need religion to guide you. It's very sad, but I can see why TPTB would bind you with religion (as retarded of a belief system as it may be). I just don't think it works very well because in general your people do nothing with it but use it to make excuses, war, be homophobic, avoid rational thought, avoid responsibility, etc. Maybe they were right to try to kill off the Christians if you truly are soulless and moral-less people without your bindings.
