Dino. I understand why you said what you did about Christianity but what a lot of people don't realize is that all religions are the same. All religions believe that they are the only truth. It's not really arrogant.

That's not what I meant, and wasn't what I was talking about.
What I meant was, Christianity thinks that it's the number 1 definitive religion, so much so that it can encroach upon the rest of the world. In the past it has done some very horrific things, starting whole wars, crusades, killing people who didn't believe or said things that "offended" the religion. Christianity thrust itself into the topspot by force, it took power illegitimately, then justified it as the will of "god" upon the people. It's caused more trouble than it's worth or solved.
Moreover, it's the type of religion that monopolises, it believes that it's MORE equal than all the other religions. As though other religions don't have the right to practice what they believe.
Christianity is like one giant arrogant snob, not because it thinks that it's the right religion, but because it's done all this stupid stuff as though it's got more right to exist, more validity than other religions, and should be considered, and will be considered, above all other religions. It demands this, like a screaming bratty child, which ends up stamping it's foot when it doesn't hear, see, or get what it wants. It tries to change society, laws, and generally f
uck around with the lives, society, and research institutes that belong to people who don't even subscribe to the religion. It thinks it has the damn right to do this - yet if any other religion attempted such a thing, it would be considered bad. "God" is default thanks to Christianity, so is Heaven and Hell. And the only reason it's so widely accepted is because it got itself to that position by force.
That is what I was talking about.
