I think we need more persons who take responsibility for their actions and not just because we are christan,but because we are Human Being.

Man was at the mercy of nature,crude,wicked & brutish,blind & grooping in darkness before Christ came to bring Peace, Love, light , freedom from nature and sin through grace. Jesus Christ is the greatest name in human esistence.

Some books i've read about Jesus and the gospels completely disagree with others that i've read. There is such a vast array of opinions out there. To some Jesus is great, to others he's the greatest and to others he's not a historical figure but it's a nice story all the same. I don't believe he was the first to come to earth with a powerful message of peace and love. I believe Jesus and others like him show us how to save ourselves and that the message matters more than who delivers it.

In this world, there is acontinualy going on spiritual battle between the forces of evil and good. Wittingly and unwittingly, consciously or not, one is always on side of this battle. No one stands on a neutral grand. One dimension of this battle is the efforts of the devil and its agents through cleverly devised and seemingly harmless and innocent strategies, to confuse us about the nature, mission and message of CHRIST on earth. The correct information about Christ are found in the gospels & epistles of the New Testament of the Bible and some passages in the Old testament. These are neighter confusing nor contradicting. But those books or articles written under the inspiration of the devil and its angels, masquerading as angels of Light are confusing and contradicting. These have led many astray. Jesus Christ is the son God sent down to the earth to redeem us from sins, and its consequences, to teach and show us the God pleasing ways. One should alway check his source of information about christ. Any source that contradicts the Bible is of the devil.
Religion has done some good things for the world

Religion has occasionally done good things for the world. Humans need meaning in this decrepit, horrific existence.Religion has filled that vacuum of meaninglessness at times. Judaism and its monotheistic predecessors damaged the sordid, violent and rapacious paganism of the time. Christianity finished off the Abomination that was Roman dominion. Islam, gave hope and dignity (initially) to a people neglected and abused by the remnants of Rome.

Is paganism necessarily a bad thing? Various Christian traditions such as baptism, Christmas trees to name a couple have pagan origins. Paganism according to what i've read is basically about worshipping divinity through nature which sounds okay to me. Christianity was adopted as the official religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century I think it was. I'm not sure what part Christianity played in bringing down the Roman Empire. That's a new idea to me but i'll look into it.

Mystical Poet, Christianity did not bring down the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire adopted and merged and reappears AS Christianity. Paganism has been labled "bad" by Christians and no one else. The evergreen tree is a symbol of everlasting life. All those "pagan" symbols have meaning. Not that they "worship" plants ro anything else. They also had great respect for women contrary to other religions.
The God is a coward that never has to live or die 1a

God is a coward that never has to live or die. Life is a lie that the world tells in the form of miserable flesh. God's cowardice and brutality is imprinted on a human nature that is corrupt to the core. There is no goodness. We are expected to grovel for forgiveness for a human nature that is inflicted upon us. God is a coward.

I think I can see where you're coming from with some of what you are saying. I don't relate to the idea of a supreme invidual myself. If there is a supreme being how could they comprehend courage when no challenge is sufficient to test them? There's too many psycopaths in this world. The God you despise is not the God I believe in. I think that concept of God is one that was invented to control people through organised religion. Not that i'm cynical of all religious leaders motives.
