Christianity, is it

[SkyRock]

the really cool and hip people don't believe in god.  the extremely cool people who think they are really really smart take every opportunity to mock religion.

They have alternate religions that we must not mock tho.

lazs

the really, really, cool, hip really, really, really smart people throw knowlege and reason to the wind.

No argument from me. However, the central tenent of Christianity is forgiveness, from God, for oneself, for others. I fail to see this as the  plague so many claim.

Based on the new testament is Christianity..


..........But most forget this and start quoting old testament

Problem is some people who claim to be Christian use it as a excuse for their own personal agenda.

[SkyRock]

Perhaps you can be "good" and exercise forgiveness without believing in God yet so many aren't and don't.

Seems the religion itself is a very unforgiving one in almost every faith.  If you don't believe our way, you not only die, but burn...........forever!!!

This is patently false.  That's quite the broad brush stroke there Sky.  Care to back it up with sources or links? While there are certainly those that do as you say, it's not every faith...

But in every faith the believers are better than the lowly nonbelievers.

I will give you the information you requested... shortly.  You first.  What about your broad statement? Nothing to back it up? Sources and links that says all Christian religions say you will burn in hell forever if you don't belong to them...  I'm waiting.  I'll post my information momentarily.

For you too...

People change their minds all the time. Shared opinions and experiences are useful to those with open minds.

   People only believe in open minds if people change their minds to their favor,  otherwise they are considered close minded.

I believe that you will only find arguements on a board like this,  people are set in their ways and iof they change i doubt it is becasue of this board.
