You,re right but, I gave my reason why and it's valid.

But how can we be close minded when we are opened for logic and evidence?
For instance this is a description of relationship Answersingenesis.org Christians have toward evolution:
"By definition, no apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."
Doesn't that pretty much also describes you, GC? So when you object to any evidence in favor of your preconceived faith you keep your mind closed.

So let's go by this logic. Let's say other religions were started by Satan would they not be very destructive to it's followers? Would they not be urged to do violent, evil things (at least more then the god driven one like Christianity)? Would they not make it's members miserable? Since devil is the worst of the worst - prince of darkness, lord of the flies.
And yet it's not the case. Members of most other religions have a smile on their faces because they're happy in their delusions.
Take the religion of Jainism as one example. The Jains preach a doctrine of utter non-violence. The doctrine of Jainism is an objectively better guide for becoming like Martin Luther King, Jr., than the doctrine of Christianity is (he acquired his commitment to nonviolence primarily from the writings of Mohandas K. Gandhi and traveled to India to learn from them).
And yet you claim that Gandhi, a Hindu, got his doctrine of nonviolence from the devil.
You see how your claims look ridiculous and doesn't that at least make you think that your religion might be devil's deception since Janism and Hinduism never started stuff like inquisition or Crusades? Or that they're all delusions? Because Jesus did talk about people like Gandhi and that he'll throw them to Hell, so I'll be worried if I was you, belonging into religion from which God will eternally torture Gandhi.

Dude even you admit Bible is junk. You think Jesus was this great moral teacher because you simply ignore the immoral stuff, like the laws in OT where it is commanded by God to kill first born sons after 8 days and to kill bad children and to kill people that collect sticks on Saturday and so on. I told you what Jesus said "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." but you simply ignore it by saying:
The Jewish laws that Jesus rebuked the pharisees and priest about do not apply to Christians. Christ is the fulfillment of the prophesies and the law by living the perfect sinless life, dying on the cross and being raised from the grave.
Not apply to Christians?!! Did you not read "smallest part of the letter of the law"? Even you can not embrace the teaching of Jesus, but pick and choose what you want and then call it a Christianity, because you know most of it is junk.
