It's not just that, Leo, it's also that the there are a lot of religious books, but it was decided that some *are* holy, and others are not. Which is just completely stupid. This page features some nice questions to Christians: http://www.churchofreality.org/opinion/christian-reality.htm

• Do you believe that the Bible is the word of God, that it has been accurately preserved through the ages, and that everything it says is true?
  
  
• There are thousands of denominations of Christians. Why do you believe that your denomination is the best one - if you believe that - and can it be improved?
  
  
• If you realized that a different denomination of Christianity were more accurate than the one you are currently a member of - would you change religions?
  
  
• Do you consider yourself to be one of the "chosen ones"?
  
  
• Do you really think that everyone else who isn't a Christian is really going to burn in Hell forever?
  
  
• Do you think that Armageddon will occur in your lifetime?

Also, I ask all Christians: Why doesn't God come out of hiding? I mean, in the bible it's very clear he can do all sorts of super-natural things.. If he would show up and do some of these super-natural things, for everyone to see, I would believe in God.

I've got a religion and with this one is just more one to the religians book......

And by the time He comes for the second coming, it's already too late to believe that He does exist.
So, make your choice now

People have been saying that for.. umm well.. about 1900 years. And there's *still* people thinking the end of the world will be in their lifetime.

thekid, you don't really believe in God, do you? If you do, is it just because your parents do aswell, or because you *really* believe that crap? Have you read the bible? Because I can't imagine someone believing in God after having read the bible, unless they turned their brains off while reading.

where the option to vote "wot the hell is the Church of Reality "

* toddy goes to google..........

Well, you are correct this time. I was trying hard to deny it. It takes time to believe that it is the truth.

So, thekid, do you believe that the bible is the word of God, and that it's correct? Because there are a *lot* of translation issues with it. This is a nice article about it.

And who are you or those guys to put a whole civilization in question?

this is the problem i have with the bible it always seems to be "we dont have any proof that god exists, he just does" and then the only way to get people to believe in him is to say "oh by the way if you dont believe he might send jesus to kill you and you wont get into heaven. its trying to scare people. and it is the weak minded people who are fooled.
i live in the Uk and it isnt a very good country but i like it cause it has one of the lowest belief rates of any place in the world. it means i dont have to put up with so many stupid people

i think it's all based in ur education...like all my family is catholic and i was educated like that and trully believe it...maybe Plusfan had the right to choose what he wanted to follow and he developed other opinions...but i still believe in god above everything..
