In Pakistan, India, Muslims are raping and hanging in the name of their unitary god.
In Africa, they are raping,beheading ,burning ,necklacing and clubbing to death in the name of the one unitary god .
In Haiti ,they are yelling screaming and drinking chicken's blood in the name of their great god conga ..
In the usa ,you have a bunch of scumbags cheating college kids calling themselves scientologists and so it goes.
Use the process of elimination to get to the truth.
You are arguing that Christianity is the correct religion based on the atrocities committed by other religions? Am I to assume you believe Christianity blameless in that department?

If I can handle the bombing of Dresden I can handle this .. no Prob...
I see my analogy was factually accurate.
And in America, they are raping children by the thousands for years in the name of their unitary God. They are hanging gay people in the street in the name of their unitary God. They are drowning children in bathtubs in the name of their unitary God. They lock children in rooms without food or water until they confess belief in their unitary God.
Come to think of it, it's the same God you were complaining about:

Thanks, missionaries, for the social unrest and a new God to fight over!
Quote:the tension and the poverty has delivered an opportunity for a new and terrible phenomenon that is leading to the abuse and the murder of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of children. And it is being done in the name of Christianity.

the other religions can't even come close to addressing the spiritual needs of an individual and even on the basis of rational thought.
no other religion can do this but Christianity ; and at the same time further the progression of culture and civilization. There are thousands of denominations of Christianity, some which are very similar to one another, and some which are at odds with some or all of the others. To many of those denominations, the fact that you claim to be a Christian is insufficient to save you from hell. Which means that even if you pretend to narrow it down to Christianity, you still stand a pretty good chance of being just as screwed as the atheist, or the animist, or the muslim, or anyone else.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

But that's not for us to decide.What I'm saying is cover your rear end ,just in case.
Whatever denomination appeals to you is O.K...
Any denomination would be better than no denomination. see what I mean?

'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Gonna address becca's responses, Artur?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

After that last comment from Artur I am reminded of a favorite quote of mine...
Never argue with an idiot. The best outcome you can hope for is that you won an argument with an idiot.

Whatever denomination appeals to you is O.K... Is that how you worship the Christian god? "I'm not sure what your game is, Yahweh, but I'll act like I care so that you can reward me with heaven if I bought the right ticket."
You don't really seem to care about religion except to the extent that it might inconvenience you if you ignore it too much. And if you are going to be inconvenienced now, then everyone else should share in it so you can pretend that everyone is laughing with you and not at you. What makes you think that any god would reward someone who uses religious belief as some sort of confidence game? And why would I join any religion that uses such an idiotic method of recruitment?
