i think its awesome to those who can and want to believe, i sadly cannot, and i don't want to, because any religion caused violence in one way or another (except budhism, those guys are awesome, and they even have specialmoves, like being hit with a plank IN DA FACE and not giving a damn about it), and since i tolerate everything except inflicting harm to others, jesus sadly commited a crime in my eyes by making people fight for him and his beliefs.


Where have you seen that Jesus was asking to people to fight for Him when He said to turn the other cheek and not resist evil? Are you sure you didn`t misunderstand what you read?

I`m not telling who to believe in, but if you allow me, don`t push away someone or something just because they did or do wrong things, no matter what was or is done because you`ll be letting evil take too much of a control in your life - as in, what makes you deal with something or someone is not the good that you see, but the bad.

i'm sorry, i rather wanted to say that even christianity has caused harm upon alot of people in history.

I mean, youre right, the bible does not want you to kill or something, but its common knowledge that pretty much every religion out there is being misused as an excuse to cause trouble, by extremists and such.

again, i dont hate on rather peaceful religions, and as i said, its great to hear that people can believe in things they dont see, its just not my coup of tea, i need evidence. =)

You are right, religion was, has been - and most likely will be - used for other purposes than the ones it was built upon. That`s how we are. To hurt someone we will use anything at hands reach.

I`m not going into a debate here about evidence, i`ll just say that there is enough evidence in the Old Testament of things that would become true in the New Testament but also in our days aswell. There`s also warnings, miracles made through apparitions that you can read about one day if you want.
Don`t get me wrong in saying this, but sometimes when people say i want evidence they are also saying i want evidence that i can see for myself. It`s also a question of trust and courage.

The only thing i`ll add is, if one day you need me for anything i`m here! :)
