(April 16, 2011 at 4:12 am)Godschild Wrote: Yes I agree most religions are there for control of others in some form and it does bleed over into christianity. However christianity is not religion nor is it meant to be controlling, that is it's not meant for man to control man. Christianity is a relationship with GOD and a life of freedom. See NT for futher explanation.

So on the one hand we have Statler telling us that atheism is a religion even though it doesn't meet the requirements of the seven dimensions of religion, but on the other hand you maintain that christianity isn't even though it clearly does meet them.

   

It is clear to me that you people have no fucking idea whatsoever.
