I notice no one complains about Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism, and no one complains much about cults, just Christianity.1. Because Christianity is the most common religion in the world, so it is the one that influences people's lives the most, so it is the best one to deal with.
I also wonder why there are rules in this forum against saying you are going to hell for your beliefs, and yet it seems you post continually about the injustice of Hell, or the fact that God is responsible for evil. Again, what do you care? If there is no God, why do you get so hot under the collar about it? No pun intended.
And if, to you, the evil in the world proves there is no God, how do you explain all the good?
Just some questions; just trying to keep it real.
2. Telling someone they'll go to hell for their belief judgmental, a personal attack, and just plain immature. In fact, it borders on being a threat. Either way, it is just bad conduct. Why get mad at religion? Because it f***s with our lives, that's why.
3. The evil in the world doesn't prove there is no God, but it sure pokes holes in Christian and other religious doctrine.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
