Good to have you here, now do you think you've brought anything new to the table, nope, we've heard this stuff many times and it does not fly. Just who does Christianity control and for what purpose would Christianity need to control and who would it benefit, can you answer these questions.

"Just who does Christianity control and for what purpose would Christianity need to control and who would it benefit, can you answer these questions."
What, you want names?
Example; If the pope holds a mass he has his flocks undivided attention and obediance. This is beneficial for him and his religion because he can gain influence, money and power through this.
Fairly simple concept, rather stupid question.

Most of them are committing idolatry, this is a forbidden practice for Christians, no man is to place himself between the people and Christ, seems we have two violations of scriptural teachings. A case for doubting their authenticity. Now let's here about the Protestant denominations, you all are hung up on Catholics, why? Deal with the rest of use. The question was intelligent, it was the answer that came off stupid.

Also, "whos looking to extend their life" is an equally stupid question. Everyone is, including yourself.
If you don't think so let me ask you a question:
You believe you'll go to heaven if you die as long as you don't commit suicide, yes? Why don't you roam the streets of a particularly dangerous city at night to increase the likelyhood you'll get murdered and go to heaven?
Please think before you type in future to avoid boring the shit out of the rest of us.

It would not matter what I said, your attention span is so short you would get bored.
I do not look to extend my life, my date of death is already known and I can not change it. I'm going to heaven period, get off the Catholic kick and learn something please. One can prematurely die by doing something like you have mentioned, seems stupidity resides with you.

First question: Protestants gather at churchs on sundays? Infact most denominations of Christianity do. The priest gets donations which profit him and his church and he gets to fill his flocks heads with all sorts of ideas. Wow, that was easy. In future could you not be quite so pathetic as to cry because I didn't pick the religion for my example you wanted me to? I was tempted to put "Christianity controls Christians you fucking moron." but I decided without a deeper explaination you'd probably spend a few days dribbling over a keyboard trying to figure it out. Asking how an organisation, any organisation, would benefit from controlling massive amounts of people is anything but an intelligent query. Also the cross is an idol so yeah... pot, kettle, black.

Second Question: Whoa whoa whoa. Your date of death is already known? I think someones been watching Final Destination one too many times. If your date of death can't be changed because its pre-ordained how could you die prematurely? Seriously, wouldn't it show abit more honesty and abit less stupidity to say you don't want to die and therefore would like to extend your life if possible?

I have knowledge of Orthodox Christianity, Mormonism, Jehovahs Witnesses, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism and more because I have researched them. I have the most experience with Catholicism, would it make you more comfortable if I used another religion as an example in future?
Honestly, I'm not sure anyone else cares but whatever. I'll specifically use Southern Baptist Christianity for examples in future, better?
Dry your eyes dear. :-)

I'm not teary about anything you say, it would be stupid for me to cry over your nonsense. Yes, please use the Southern Baptist. The cross is a symbol of love and we do not worship it. One can shorten their life, I thought you said you knew scripture, I must be going deaf.
