It really makes me mad when i see these "christans" trying to scare people into church with there hell stories and shit. If you wanna example go to yahoo and enter in house of hell or some shit and take a good look.

All religions are scare tactics, to some extent. Why are you pointing to Christianity in particular?

agreed, its just a way to scare the shit outta society and keep them in-line, instead of being assholes...lol

and i think he's pointing towards christianity because its the most common religion at this period in history

Easy target

Reincarnation belief -- be good and you get reincarn'd as a prince or someat, but be baad and you're eating dung next life

Christianity hardly seems like the best example. Early Christianity began as a patriotic Jewish liberation movement, and was only later coopted by Constantine the Great. Hinduism, for example, was set up with little purpose other than to control the conquered subjects of the Aryans who invaded India.

ALL RELIGIONS ARE......WHAT A DAMM SHAME..

I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT ITS NOT EVEN WORTH MENTIONING ANY MORE...

THERE ARE SO MANY WRONG PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE CONVINCED IN BEING CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS AND JEWS ......YOU JUST CANT DEBATE WITH THEM ALL...

BY THE WAY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEBATE WITH THESE GUYS.....AS A TRUE DEBATE IS DISCUSSING YOUR VIEWS ON POINTS AND BEING OPEN MINDED ENOUGH TO CHANGE YOUR VIEWS IF YOU ARE INFORMED OF SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT ...BUT MAKES SENSE....

ALL THE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS AND MUSLIMS DO IS ARGUE NOT DEBATE...

ITS WORSE THAN BANGING YOUR HEAD AGAINST A BRICK WALL..

SORRY I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST....

Thou shalt presseth thine caps locketh key, or thou shalt be casteth into the firey pits of hell.

cast him!CAST HIM!!!

you could see it that way if you wish, but all religions just are trying to keep youu and the human race alive, it tries to prevent us from slaughtering each other, if you think it is a "scare tactic" than I believe that your emotionally insecure and probably just had a rude awakening which you took incorrectly. The fact that you actually get angry when people try to convince you to join a religion is pathetic, religion is trying to help the human race so....there is no reason to get angry.

christianity has always made me amused. i've grown up in a mormon household, except my mother and i not being mormon. i was the first one to refuse to get baptised when i was 8. hahah. i'm glad i didn't. mormon's are like..droids. it's scary. but i've always been considered the black sheep of the family, but it's all okay, cause i'm pretty fuckin happy with my life. even if i've pissed my life away through drugs and fun stuff like that.

anywho...what i was getting to is that i have read the bible alot. i mean..i can imagine some things like that happening. i just find the bible a completely amusing text within itself.

and i wanna be god. cause he gets to smite people and set bushes on fire. and all fire and brimstone and tellin people they're gonna go to hell and shit...that sounds fuckin cool.

hahahahahah. oh dear..
