i'm christian and i like to hear different opinions. not everything is what it seems to be. dont judge by those few who made themselves known for the wrongs they did.
but its sad, because you are right with most of the things you said. i agree... but to me it still does not prove that god (as i imagine him) does not exist. which is cool, because this thread is not about converting people just sharing opinions
but yeah, i agree totally that "religion" can be a tool. it can be a way of manipulation. that is why i think that "faith" and "spirituality" have a higher quality than religion. it is sad sometimes isnt it, that people cannot differentiate between the two. especially those who killed for their "religion" in the past... if they were true believers they would have followed not orders of the church but their faith first.
