It's not a question of believing in Jesus: he existed, that's a fact. Whether he was the son of God is something that is less certain, but we do know that there has been a LOT of exaggeration in between Jesus's life and the writing of the New Testament, and I think that I am 99% certain that Jesus did not WANT to die on the cross. He did not die for our sins, he died because the Romans wanted rid of him.

And when I said the Romans used Christianity as an excuse to kill people, I didn't mean they persecuted Christians. If you brushed up on your History, you'd know that for a long time the Romans WERE Christian, and used that as an excuse to kill Non-Christians, Just as Richard the Lionheart used the same excuse to kill a load of Muslims, because they weren't Christian.

I think that it is clear that the Christians have spent a lot more time persecuting others than being persecuted themselves. That is what I mean when I say Jesus isn't to blame for what they've done in his name.

That's what depresses me about Religion: the way people don't hesitate to mistreat people for believing something different. Christianity is all well and good when it helps people, but we should do more to try and eradicate its Dark Side.
