I have watched and debated in threads in this forum and I've noticed some people lump everyone together. Whether it's something that happened in the past by a certain sect or because of a sect acting one way.

As for me...I'm a christian but I don't force my views on others or think others are wrong for what they believe. I was brought up to believe to respect others. I, for one, don't like being lumped in with those that do push their views or from what some have done in the past.

No one is perfect and unless you are...please don't cast stones on others.

having a debate and discussing views is great and that is how we learn about ourselves and others.

Just my 2 cents flowerforyou


Christianity has spread all over the world and that was done in most places with the Sword. Christianity has prostelytizing as it's corner stone. You cannot sit here in a place were that religion pushed out many hundreds of indegiounus religions and put itself in place with the Gun and now say we are all even lets just be nice to each other. Your religion does not have a history of being nice.

I am here to point out the flaws in Christianity because it prostelytizes. I will be here prostelytizing the beliefs of reason, science, knowledge, peace and so forth. I hope someone out there will see the light and walk out from the dark oppressive nature of Christianity. I will only do this with words. I will never bring the sword with me. I know I cannot say the same for my foe.

I'm rather open to religion as an idea rather than a belief, this allows me to not lump them all together. However the media probably doesn't help the majority of people on this subject, when all you see is "the priest did this, the pastor did that" it is really hard to distinguish that not all of them are the same.

I will say it again. The only reason that you can comfortably sit in this virtually all Christian country and peacefully practice your religion, is due to the fact that many guns were used to clear out the land that you sit on.

So go ahead and say that you are pure because you never raised a hand in the war. I agree with you, you did not HAVE to kill anyone YOURSELF.

However you cannot say that other people with other philosophies that now use the same tools your religion did are being unjust, or somehow "bad" because they now have enough power to fight back. Like I said earlier in my case I will only use words to forward my cause. I do not believe the same from my foe. I have even been physically threatened by Christians in this bullitin board. So don't tell me it is just in the past.
I know the truth of history. You want to ignore the fact that you stand on the shoulders of those that came before.

Good luck ignoring history.

Rabbit~~ are you aware that you came into a thread about not lumping people together and that is exactly what you are doing. You are doing it in past and present, though. Double whammy.

Quite a feat, I'd say. grumble

My point is in saying that Christians can't just Cross the finish line while they knock everyone else down and then say lets play fair NOW.

but aren't you lumping people together by calling them christians ...a christian is a christian because they supposely believe that a guy name Christ was a son of a God so isn't calling yourself or others Christians considered as being a lump or label?..you even label God and people that believe in God are labeled as believers... so aren't you guilty of committing the same sin you are accusing everyone else of ...and besides everything is lumped or label.. to believe otherwise is delusional...even this thread is label and lumped

Your point seems to be that you want to come into a thread promoting individuality and lump a certain religious faith together....past and present.

Off topic and horrendously pompous in my opinion.
