There are good radicals and bad radicals. Some good things Christians offer are charity and they help people straiten thier lives out from bad situtions (drug addictions, divorce, etc.). While Christians have made alot of bad things happen, they have made good things as well.

We must remember that alot of bad actions were made by bad people interpereting the bible in a manipulative way. Churches look at Christians as sheep and the Christian thinks that they are sheep as well. This is unhealthy and why I do not consider myself a normal "Christian." I am no sheep.

Jesus taught love and acceptance, not "death, bigotry, racism, selfrightousness and hypocrisy" as Innvertigo said. Although the Bible has been twisted by evil people with evil agendas who have succeded and given Christians a bad reputation; Jesus did not teach these things.

A true Christian will pray for thier enemy rather than request God strike them down with wrath. In this way the enemy's [aggression or whatever] is nuetralized with unconditional love and forgiveness. Jesus would be proud to see a person praying for thier enemies. I really think that modern Christianity is a far cry from what Jesus taught durring his life and there are many who bear a cross, yet are simply sheep. They vote for what the church wants and think like the church wants and it is pretty discusting to me.

In conclusion; Jesus taught love, life, kindness, peace, joy, temperance, patience, meekness, goodness, forgiveness tolerance and faith. Jesus did not intend for evil people to do evil things under his name and teachings.




Heheheh, Friedrich Nietzsche would argue that the above mententend "Good" things are what was degrading humanity as a whole and on the whole were bad things!

To quote from Friedrich Nietzsche's book "Also sprach Zarathustra" (Eng: Beyond Good and Evil)
In english because I don't think many on here read German,

among the principal causes which have kept the type of
"man" upon a lower level--they have
preserved too much THAT WHICH SHOULD HAVE PERISHED. One has to
thank them for invaluable services; and who is sufficiently rich
in gratitude not to feel poor at the contemplation of all that
the "spiritual men" of Christianity have done for Europe
hitherto! But when they had given comfort to the sufferers,
courage to the oppressed and despairing, a staff and support to
the helpless, and when they had allured from society into
convents and spiritual penitentiaries the broken-hearted and
distracted: what else had they to do in order to work
systematically in that fashion, and with a good conscience, for
the preservation of all the sick and suffering, which means, in
deed and in truth, to work for the DETERIORATION OF THE EUROPEAN
RACE? To REVERSE all estimates of value--THAT is what they had to
do! And to shatter the strong, to spoil great hopes, to cast
suspicion on the delight in beauty, to break down everything
autonomous, manly, conquering, and imperious--all instincts which
are natural to the highest and most successful type of "man"--
into uncertainty, distress of conscience, and self-destruction;
forsooth, to invert all love of the earthly and of supremacy over
the earth, into hatred of the earth and earthly things--THAT is
the task the Church imposed on itself, and was obliged to impose,
until, according to its standard of value, "unworldliness,"
"unsensuousness," and "higher man" fused into one sentiment.

WHAT?

Malt Liquor is beer.

Beer was invented by the Egyptians around 4000 BC.

The Egyptians are credited with the invention of sandals, the folding chair, beer, wine, mead, and more recently writing (Due to recent discoveries that show there invention of writing predated the Sumerians and the Mesopotamians.)

Black Jesus is a homeless evangelical street preaching prophet. He has devoted his life to delivering the Lord's blessed word to the social pariahs of Minneapolis, MN's lower east side. In the projects, amidst prostitutes, crack heads, drunks, pimps, and thieves, wearing his signature white terry-cloth robe, Leroy Pontrell Perkins shares his special brand of salvation.

These what have....contributed threads are really cracking me up!

Great stuff.

Hey - it seems that though religions have been important landmarks in human evolution, and though their ethos may be 'good'. In practice and at large they are basically all repressive, oppressive and excuses for forming (supposedly) 'divinely ordaned' human hierarchical systems. (Convenient for the top dogs!)

Bullshit in other words.

Quote:

That sounds like monothestic religion all over. All monotheistic religions.

Who needs religion? Jesus wasn't a 'Christian', he was himself.
The lesson from Jesus is - don't listen to those knobheads with the big book, listen to your soul, walk out the door.

The Bible's a pretty good yarn though I must say, especially if you like a good violent story where people throw their daughters out to be raped and killed by the mob at the whim of God's angels, endless warring etc

Jesus' attempt to change that tack, seems to (after his life - if he really did live) fallen flat on its face. People in general just love rules and patriarchal hierarchies I guess.

Nailed it. The bible and Christians are great. But 90% of Christians I know haven't read the Bible so how would they know either way. Satan energy attacks ignorant people, and ignorant people are the only ones believing Christians oppress them by being against transsexual nutjobs sharing bathrooms with little girls. Haha

Modern political philosophy already existed in Ancient Greece, and we would have had a man on the Moon about a thousand years ago had the braindead slave culture of Abrahamism never infected Europe.

Christians have contributed less than nothing - the rest of us have had to drag them, kicking and screaming, into modernity.

Seems to me more like Christianity created the best environment historically speaking for innovation to occur. It also held the West's culture and society together. That might be changing now though I guess. Too many people seem to be embracing secularism and the government (globalism) as their new "God" or "religion."

Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence "[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

"Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof." Continental Congress, 1778


--------------------
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.
