why did you bloddy mods delete my "god isn't fair debate" i beleive it was a lesson much needed, because quite frankly god isn't fair! ive never woken up as a millionaire with chicks at me disposal and a fancy car in my driveway!

I'm guessing the deleted because there are three friggin' religious threads already. Besides, you can post whatever in here just fine.

And why would God do that if you don't even like the Guy?

i never said i didnt like him but he aint not fair! besides if he knew id like him if he did that...then he'd do it!

as do I. It's all very much the same, science and religion. Both try to find out who we are, and where we came from.

I don't care for the denominations, because what is the point? We are all on the same path here. You take a slight variation, you're still reaching the same destination. When those Christian sects were created they were mostly political anyway. I myself am Eastern Orthodox Christian.

Not so much political, it was more so greeg that drove people to create the different religions. I believe the only person who actually had a good intention in creating a denomination was Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutherans.

Alcar...

greed for what? money (duh) and political power. The anglican church was one of the biggest political moves under the guise of a "religious reformation" in Europe at the time.

Luther did have his religious reasons, obviously, but his new form of Christianity appealed to people because they would not be under the influence of the Pope, and not have to pay any taxes under his name or be under his control. And the ramifications of the Protestant Reformation were very political.....countries split and changed borders and what not.
Even the movment of Puritans from England to America was a poltical move.

But I suppose wealth was just as powerful a factor, too. (just like today with these people on TV claiming to be preaching the word of God. Yes, now you can pay your way into heaven. It totally defiles the basic meaning of Christianity)

This may sound really trite but one of my favorite pass times is calling up those numbers and congratulating them on creating such a great scam.
