This is my main problem with Christianity.

It teaches that you are either with god (meaning you are protected from anything bad, and that you will spend eternity in heaven).

Or you are manipulated by Satan, and are thus evil.

Generally, within the christian religion, this ideal breeds arrogance, and hatred towards anyone who isn't one of 'them'.

Life is not about black and white. There is not a huge group of 'good' people, and another group of 'bad' people. We all have reasonable reasons for thinking how we do.

"ignore that logical opinion, his being manipulated by the devil. Gods word is the only truth"

"we have an all powerful god on our side, they have nothing"

"we have our completely perfect god on our side, we can do what we want. Our word is law"

I wont claim that every christian user on this forum has this attitude, but it is the attitude that christianity seems to promote.
That is why I prefer Buddhism - It promotes understanding and respect towards every belief that isn't they're own. It doesn't promote misunderstanding and hatred between different beliefs.


lol!
