Christians are not good at all, whether they force their beliefs on others or not. No good, nope.

Just because myths about higher powers are present in more than one culture doesn't make it true. A majority of opinion doesn't constitute factual evidence.
Besides, other cultural archetypes are shared in almost every culture.

by the first 'is' you meant 'his'?
the easter bunny and santa claus are documented in so many places , doesn't mean they're real.
it was started as a way of keeping people in order ,and making people feel a part of something so that they didnt riot etc . its just control by science fiction ,kinda like ( useing my imagination here) the matrix , its all fake but it keeps 'us' ( as in humans) under control and calm etc.

yes, there MIGHT be a LOT out there.
the possibilities are endless. everything you can think of, COULD theoretically be the case.
thus, it is more logical to adhere to what you can actually experience - see, hear, smell, feel, taste.
but I feel this is an opening to the whole "what is reality anyway"-debate.. again.

they don't have to rread it.

I guess you could say I'm picking on Christians. Its not even the actually religion itself, its the people who twist and pervert the Bible/Jesus's words. Evangelists on the TV asking for your money pisses me off. You ever whatch some of those channels? They have stadiums full of people with some guy wearing a fancy suit in the middle, talking on a microphone about why you dont need your money, the church does.

But it seems to me, the majority of the Christians out there are the stupid evanglist following sheep. Not even the TV evangelists. Like where I live, we got 2 really big churches, let me describe them:
Hoffmantown: This building is 3 stories tall and it sits on about an acre and a half of asphalt used for parking. It has elavators, coffee + gift shops, and numerous classrooms. Multiple "mass" rooms can befound littered with numerous TV cameras. This used to be a Baptist only church, until some marketing guy realized that revenue would increase by allowing all followers of Christ in, not just the Baptists. Any teenagers attending are asked for personal information like phone number and address so they can call you up to tell you about events taking place. ****TRUE STORY: I had given my info to them whilst in Middle school because I attended with a "friend" of mine one sunday. They got all my info and we praised jesus and did stupid games. I stopped going there and guess what? I started getting letters and phone calls trying to lure me back with offers of Pizza and Prizes... But thats not all, they actually had recruited a girl to call me, leave a msg on my answering machine like she wanted a date, and said the meeting place would be - GUESS WHAT - Hoffmantown church. Right around Valentines day too. These people are sick
Calgary: Same as above only smaller. Includes playground for the kids. I've never been inside this one, but it also has cameras to televise their masses to cable suscribers. 2 guys I work with go there and although they are nice, you cant bring up ANY religion or ANY morals that dont agree with theirs. Brainwashed to tha max.

Exactly, take this analogy to the wonderful gift of "free will" God has granted mortal man:
God is having an election for supreme ruler of the universe. Vote for God, you live. Vote for Satan (or anyone else for that matter), you die. And there's no way to get out of it, because if you abstain to vote at all, you still die!
Tell me how this is incongruous with what the Bible says about God giving you a choice.

In the old days is where all the hell came from , people who wanted to control other peopl( cough 'the church' cough) thought it would be usefull to give people something to fear i guess , so they said if ur bad your gunna burn in hell.
which is crap anyway because if your bad you can just go repent or whatever and go to heaven , such bollocks....

no... the christian culture and belief is just a culture made up from lots of different layers of other cultures. Even if jesus existed, im pretty sure his powers are said to be bigger than they where. Talking about the existence of christ is not really relevant tho, as it cannot be verified
Same with the existence of God, who knows.. maybe he's dead, maybe the universe is just a burp of gas from another dimension, or maybe there's a huge calculator up in the sky drawing a random number for everything that happens on the earth, or maybe we're just watching a sort of movie...
you'll never know for sure, so try to make the best of it on this planet
