| Rath said: Ok then let me make up a rule that you have to climb onto your roof every second wednesday to go to heaven. It doesnt cost you anything does it? (Well time I guess, but far less than church) So why don't you do it? Because it seems so blatantly absurd that climbing onto your roof is going to help you in your afterlife that you wouldnt waste your time. I feel the same way about religion. |
Nah, cause that'd be your bet. Not mine. It's the same reason i don't give things up for lent, attone during Rosh Hashanah, fast during Ramadan, burn tributes to poseidian or sacrifice someone on a temple.
As for the "evils" of Christianity, none of that has to do with the start of it. That's all what happened after the romans took it as there own because some guy thought that God let him win more battles then Jupiter.
The Crusades and everything after wern't caused by religion. You are a fool if you think they were. They were caused by mans greed and fear. If religion did not exist the ruling class would of thought of new excuses to have started the wars. It's the penalty you pay for having organization. Heck the last crusade was nothing but the looting of rich christian cities. (I think that was the last one.)
Heck if anything christians should be the angriest at the romans since they destroyed countless christian texts after deciding what suited them best.
