Indeed. Anyway, the Catholic church isn't Christian by any means, it just likes to think it is. But, I've already said that, so I'll shut up now.
Thats a load of cow poop (put politely). The very fact that the Catholic Church bases it's teachings on Jesus makes it by definition a Christian church.
EDIT: Any reason you deleted it?
I had already said something almost exactly the same in a previous post, so I decided it was just redundant, but since you've already replied... The Catholic church follows some of the teachings of Jesus, but a lot of what they teach is stuff Jesus never said and isn't even in the Bible. (Praying to Saints, priests can't have sex, The pope). It also happens to be the one responsible for the Crusades and the Inquisition (which primary targeted Protestants). Catholism is a perversion of the Christian faith to such an extent that it's really no better than Mormonism or the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hinduism is the third :P

Good point, my mistake. Criticism of religion is something that should always be encouraged anyway, assuming it's actual criticism and not just trolling abuse. Hahahahhahahahahahaha, yeah right Personally I don't see why any of it should be taught in schools, if people want to know about a certain or certain aspects of religion, the knowledge is out there and easy to find on their own accord.
Well, religion has probably had a bigger impact on world history than anything else. Not to mention, it's an incredibly important part of a people's culture. The study of religion goes far beyond the teachhings and aspects of a particular religion. Religion should be each individuals opinions, not some major groups opinion.The only worth while religion nowadays is something along the lines of budhism, people can't needlessly kill themselves and others over that can they? You might be surprised.

Now, when you go to college, at least my college, you're required to take a religion class, even if you're a physics major such as myself. However, if you haven't noticed that Christianity tends to get more hate than other religions, you're either unobservant, or willfully ignorant. The reason behind it is pretty simple though. Christianity is one of the three main religions in the modern world, along with Judaism and Islam. If you say bad things about Jews, you're instantly compared to the Nazis. If you say bad things about Islam, a suicide bomber kills a few hundred people. If you say bad things about Christianity, well...nothing really happens.

Excuses excuses, Urjak.
Anyway, I'm done arguing for Christianity unless I see some more blatant misconceptions to refute.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me that Thor doesn't exist. Don't forget, the Norse religion does encourage violence, and we don't give a ****.

Christians have done a lot more to end world hunger than Atheists ever have.
Them helping world hunger has nothing to do with their Christianity.
So the fact that Christ teaches things like giving to the poor, and loving your neighbor has nothing to do with the fact that there are hundreds of Christian charity organizations?
Don't be a self-pretentious faggot who thinks that it's thanks to their religion that these virtues exist. You don't have to have an imaginary friend to be a good person, sorry.
I never said there weren't good people who aren't Christians, but the fact reamins that Christians are responsible for the vast majority of charitiy organizations that exist. Hater's gonna hate.
And killed a lot more infidels. Actually, same goes for Islam.
I can't speak for Islam, but I know enough about Christianity to tell you that those who kill in the name of Christianity are not Christians at all.
"Later that year, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II called upon all Christians to join a war against the Turks, promising those who died in the endeavor would receive immediate remission of their sins."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades#First_Crusade_1095.E2.80.931099 - sources present) The Roman Catholic Church is the greatest perversion of Christianity to ever exist. Catholicism is not true Christianity, never was true Christianity, and never will be true Christianity. Most of the sh** they teach isn't even in the Bible.

Still a statistical advantage. 0.0000000000000001% is infinite times more likely than 0%
From a purely statistical standpoint you are correct. However time wasted in religious activities (festivals, church, etc) that could have been used for better purposes (curing world hunger, research, etc), then you are better off not partaking in any religion at all.
Christians have done a lot more to end world hunger than Atheists ever have. The way I see it, it is more likely none of the gods exist and everyone just made it up then one religion exists and everyone besides that one group made theirs up.
Or maybe, they're all real!

**** yeah, get like a pyramid and sh**.
Anyway since this is a debate thread, I have a challenge for you athiestfags. If Thor doesn't exist. who's going to fight Jormungand at Ragnarok?

I'm Norse. I worship Thor the god of thunder and Odin his father. I hope someday to die in battle so I can go to Valhalla where I will battle all day and party all night until Ragnarok. **** yeah!

Hmm with all these old members entering, maybe I should too. I need to make up for missing BBEANS6 somehow. It's been awhile since I've even touched RA2 though, so I'm probably waaay behind on the current techniques and whatnot. I suppose I could make a token appearance at least. My DSL bots always did better in tournaments than my stock ones.

Hmm...well a ban on wedges might not be too healthy for, say, face-spinners (I like face-spinners). Seriously, I'm interested in this. I don't really play anymore but this looks like something right up my alley. So, yeah, we'll see.

I'm considering purchasing an Alienware computer. It turns out they aren't nearly as expensive as I've always heard they were.

And technically, MTF or FTM is not for describing transvestites, it's for describing transsexuals.
Doesn't MTF stand for Male Turned Female and FTM the opposite? I figure that'd indicate a transvestite.
Transvestites are typically straight males who fancy wearing female clothing. Drag queens (or sometimes just "queens") are gay men who dress as women. Transgendered are those who live their lives as members of the opposite sex. Transexuals are those who have altered their bodies in a way so as to resemble the opposite sex (sex change, hormone treatment, etc.).
The more you know!

I didn't see the option for GODLIKE
You're probably one of the few who could rightfully choose GODLIKE, at least for stock building.
