Perhaps you could provide an example of a perfect institution for me, or are you this disenchanted with everything and everyone - except yourself of course.

Pretend like I'm not Thankfuldad nor have I read his posts. Just try and stay with me, OK?
I would be careful declaring that others are ignorant if I were you.
You are aware that both Islam and Christianity are not fully represented by their various factions or individuals, aren't you?
If you're going to take the same standards of Christianity then, then technically speaking you're going to have to stop about 2000 years ago. Despite that, you reveal a startling ignorance of Human history, and a just as startling ability to hold on to a fabricated grudge. That tendency doesn't lead to peaceful existence but eventually will lead you to unpeaceful and boorish behavior based on your own sense of self-righteousness.

This explains your rather dark, destructive and bitter attitude toward things and people you don't understand. You have (or won't allow yourself to acknowledge) hope. This actually explains a lot, including the apparent anger you have against some percieved slight you have suffered. I guess we all need a target, and religion apparently has become yours. That's a pity because I suspect you could be fun to bar hop with.

Who says the purpose is hidden?

Is it really arrogant to acknowledge that humans can reason abstractly and that most others existences can't? That isn't arrogant, it simply is. I'm thinking you have a problem accepting yourself. You do have an interesting set of priorities.

This post was much more on target but I am interested in why you have avoided addressing my other observations.

Well now, we're getting somewhere.

It is quite convenient to lump everyone I don't like into one group. No need for all that messy teasing apart what any one of them might or might not be guilty of. Just decide you don't like Asians and shoot them all - after all, they must be guilty of something. Just as a pointer: Muslims aren't Christians even if they do respect the Bible as Holy. Convenient lumping of people together if you ask me. Since it isn't just faith holders that have slaughtered others, why not just lump all humans together and hate yourself?

Your grudge appears to have moved from one against God, to those who claim to follow Him. I have no intention of defending what any individual or even every Christian organization might do. The faith is held by fallible humans who do stupid things. That in itself does not invalidate the faith itself.

Your organization may not have committed mass murder, but it's leader's tendency toward contempt and hate for those he doesn't like and doesn't understand is a pretty close second.

I suspected that you probably had something against yourself. How's that working for you?

Holding grudges can be fun, but doing so seldom leads to what you state you want. Rather, holding grudges usually leads to bitterness, annoyances, closed-mindedness, and general pain-in-the-butt behavior. Quite a distance from all that peace and compassion you say you want. That eventuality seems quite evident in your posts.

Interesting to know what a word means and then use it with your own made up meaning. I suspect that doesn't really help dialogue to any extent.

You do realize that your grudges are leaking out.

Here's a book for you: The Velveteen Principles. It might help.

I understand Christianity and religion in general.
My mind is open to anything that has not proven to be murderous. Religion and especially Christianity deservers no say in its defense. I have given more than a fair chance and has proven to be worthless.
Also how I word myself through the internet and how I word myself in reality has little to do with each other. My grudges are leaking out because I let myself be candid.

My grudge is against God and the people who chose to follow Him. Also, lumping together Judaism, Muslims, and Christians is not too far fetch because each has the same God just a different view on him.
Christianity is just Judaism + Jesus and Muslims are Judaism + Mohammed.
Also race has little to do with why people make a choice, Religion does. Religion on its own needs elimination. The one’s I have picked a bone on are the one’s that are a higher priority

Tell me, how would word your statements on thoughts on Hitler and the Nazi party, how would you conceive your opinion on a mass serial killer?
If you put my statements in the context of how I view it. It is not arrogance or bigotry, but simple human natural tendency to hate what is considered evil by them.

If you have a keen understanding of the bible, then tell me, does it ever once in genesis, say that the serpent is the devil?
After you look, the simple answer is, no it does not. Its really just a talking snake as far as the context goes.

To put in simpler terms, Because of Jericho and many other atrocities by religion and not just Christianity, by almost every single major religion has committed wrong as a whole. The ignorance and bigotry the arises believe in a God and that you are doing what God tells and teaches you. The whole of Religion needs to be abolished.

No matter how much say, the simple fact remains that you are defending ideals that has caused strife. You by simple being Christian or associated with any religion, makes you a proponent of war and death.
Humanity needs to remove the bonds of religion by whatever mean possible.

"He that cometh to God, must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."

(Hebrews 11)

It is a waste of time arguing in circles, otherwise.

Men promoting control over others have always used religion as a means to an end. They need some sort of justification for their otherwise non-religious actions.
But what your Bible verse 2 is talking about is not violence but a division from those who will hold to traditional religion. It is usually traditionalists that promote violence. Jesus did not come to judge sinners, he came to judge the righteous. But Christians do not begrudge being chosen. It is an honor. Many are called, but few are chosen. He also said that the student is not greater than the master. If they hated him they will surely hate you. He did not come to unite the world, but to separate the chaff from the grain.
Violence between men always occurs when they argue about what they consider to be manner of perfection of good works. But Christianity teaches you can't be justified by good works, only by faith. God loved Abraham for his faith, not for his good works. He was given God's promise for his faith. Jesus came to give hope to those who keep their faith, not those who promote violence.

James 2: 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Yes BUT, who's morals and ethics ?

Not God's.

And since there are ONLY 2 players....satan and God.......makes you kind of wonder, doesn't it ?
