Scientology ends February 10th...which is only a few hours away.

No I'm not...To say "you can't judge a religion by it's followers" is like saying "you can't judge a football team by it's results"....Christianity IS it's followers. Because there's no central authority, the bible is open to interpretation by humans...who being human will always interpret it to suit their own cultural prejudices.

A religion is NOT it's followers; a religion is a philosophy, and you cannot blame the philosophy for it's abuse. And Christianity DOES have a central figure: Jesus.:|

You obviously don't get it...they didn't preach atheism....they preached communism god damn it.

Explain why they all specifically killed hundreds of thousands of theists. Communism?

I still stand by my initial statement, if you add all the casualties from all wars that took place during Christian Europe...the number will be higher.

Your intitial statement is wrong. I'd bet you can't even give any numbers, can you? No, you're just assuming.:roll:

Jesus isn't an authority...

Because the theists were a part of the soviet population...they killed atheists aswell.

Napoleonic wars - 3 to 6 million

World war 1 - +40 million

The Crusades - 9 million

That's well over your number...

Admitting? That's what I've been trying to say all along..

[QUOTE="hormagaunt"][QUOTE="muthsera666"][QUOTE="Taegukki"][QUOTE="muthsera666"]Why not? How is Christianity any more right than Scientology? Theoretically, either could be right.

Here, watch this and look at the quote at the end.

Your point?

All religions were to some extent created by man. And man has profited greatly from religion (monetarily; those in power).

so you dont at allll think that scientology sounds a slight bit more rediculous than christianity?

The entire universe was created by a man in the clouds. He started off creating just one man and one woman. They were put in a perfect place with everything they could ever want. The man in the clouds just told them to not to eat the apples from one tree. So, one day, a snake appears on the tree. The snake persuades the woman to eat the apple. And she does. Now, everyone who is born is now born a bad person.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Or, there is this poster:

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Making fun of religions is pretty harsh...Be tolerant at least. (Note: I am an Athiest, but I lol'd at this pic.)

That ones easy.

Infinite nothingness equals an expansive which has no boundaries, which conflicts with it's own nature. Basically matter versus anti-matter. The rest is history.

That's why I edited my post. I don't generally make fun of religions, because any of them could be right. Or none of them.

Whoever wrote that "Atheism" pic knows absolutely nothing about the Big Bang, Abiogenesis, or Evolution, and seems to think that they're all related even though they each represent three completely separate branches of Science, which they also probably know nothing about.

Diagnosis: Creationism.
