Pink: No, you brush up on YOUR history! Years after Jesus and stuff, the Roman Empire converted to Christianity, becoming the Holy Roman Empire [true], and then set about killing everyone who wasn't a Christian.

SteelShark: You asked where DNA came from. It was synthesized from simpler molecules [Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur, and Phosphorous] by lightning, which happened more often in those days. Those in turn were synthesized from fundamental subatomic particles, which were created from energy by the extremely hot conditions of the Big Bang. Clear?

I don't want to fall out with anyone, but I still don't see why people need a God to tell them to be nice. Jesus was a Great Guy, we can follow his teachings about how we should treat each other without believing that he was the Son of God. I'm not saying that there is no God, just that if there is he's too complicated to be simplified in the way Religions try to do. It's probably too compicated to even describe. Why can't people be happy to wait and see? God's too nice to exclude someone from heaven just because they aren't Christian. I think the Middlesboogie's metaphor summed up Religion perfectly.

Shall I give an example of what i think is wrong with the Bible. Well, I'm going to anyway.

I have not been baptised. I am only 15. I may yet grow up to be a Great Man. I may be a Teacher, I may be a Doctor. I may do Great things for Mankind. I may be nice to everyone, to animals as well. I might discover a cure for Cancer, or a Hydrogen-Powered Engine.

But Whatever I do, my future after life is set. Because I have not been baptised, the Bible says that I am automatically Denied the right to enter Heaven; if I do not end up in Hell, I will remain in Limbo Forever. That could happen to anyone purely because of their parents' wishes. I ask you: Is that Right? Is that the action of a Just and Fair God?

I'll leave you with that thought. See you in Limbo...
