False, you gay idiot.

Any religion that belives in Christ is Christian...

They are all just as crazy as the next.

Any mass 'organized' religion is a clan of loons with a scary social agenda of control.

Unplug from the Matrix toots.

raging on people makes for good entertainment..lol

Because their racket is just too sweet to be fucked with by these fringe extremists! :)

At the core all of the sects in Christianity are the same. The disagreements are mostly in how each church is run.

Protestants for instance look down upon the Catholic church for being too much like a business and for adopting beliefs that are not in the Bible. That was actually the basis of the original split.

Then you've got LDS, the most conservative of all... that in itself makes other sects feel uneasy. Especially many of the "Saturday night sinner, Sunday morning worshiper" Protestants.

Fear and hatred is how they all make money in the religion game.

They need one another to make money and create true believers and blind followers.

It's the same in politics...

Look at the the Republicrats:

Repub: We are a Christian nation!

Demo: We are a secular society!

Repub: We must not raise taxes, and we must lower them for the rich! (Which they accomplish by running up deficits that rich people and foreign nations benefit from).

Demo: We must eliminate the deficit (on the backs of the working middle class through new taxes), while preserving loopholes for the special interests that fund our campaigns.

I could go on, but that is bascially the gist...

Meanwhile, the problems which plague us all, such as the environment, international stability, crime, poverty, and other injustices get minor lip-service and little action.

What we need, and lack, are people with the vision and voice (the ability to broadcast their message), to address the issues that affect us all, and to instill us with a broader awareness of what makes us alike, and not what divides us. Those who are willing to compromise for the good of us all and our little blue planet...

You are correct...as do the Catholics and as do the Mormons and both use the Holy Bible.

i think its because everybody is as self-righteous as the next person.

This thread proves that even a group of free thinkers can fight over religion and we wonder why it causes so many wars.

I'd like some stats:

Are Americans and Europeans getting more or less religious over the last few decades?

I find it scary that religious groups seem to be getting stronger in fighting for things like "Intelligent Design" to be taught in schools or "Sharia Law" in their neighborhoods...

I'm agnostic but I definitely rag on Mormons and Scientologists all the time but leave all the other religions alone. I guess it's because all the other religions are 'the norm' whereas those two seem much more ridiculous because they're so much different from 'the norm' and are way more recent. When you really think about it though the Mormon and Scientology religions really aren't that much crazier than the more established ones. Religion in general is a pretty uniform concept with the same basic idea.

It's much easier for people to rag on smaller groups of people who believe in less established ideals and are more controversial as well which is why it happens a lot.

Great question though, interesting to think about.
