Hard to say:
Without Christianity, I'd have several friends who would presumably be atheist instead. That would be nice.
But then without Islam, a lot of modern wars and acts of terror wouldn't have happened.

CHRISTIANITY IS AWESOME.

What? Your argument made NO sense at all. Christianity is AWESOME. END OF STORY.
-
Well, let's see: the altruism thing is great and all, but unquestioning subservience to an unknowable higher power is just the height of anti-individualist, anti-[i]human[/i] ideology. What's your argument? Try it without caps this time.
-
I LOVE CAPS. AND YOU CANT CONTROL ME. Also, you are refering to christianity in whole. There are smaller versions of it that are not like that. So with your logic, you say you hate all muslims. EVEN THOUGH there are muslims out there that have helped our marines out.
-
Islam at large is more fundamentalist than Christianity these days. I mean, sure, there are plenty of moderates, but there are also absurdly barbaric Muslim laws in some Middle Eastern countries. I never said I hated all worshippers of a religion.
-
STILL CHRISTIANITY IS AWESOME... SUCK IT.

An omniscient god made two people it knew would fail and punished them for what it knew they would do. Seems legit.
-
He did not know they would break his laws, he gave the FREEWILL. and freewill gave them the choice. and it does seem legit.
-
How would an all-powerful god not know?
-
Because God gave them free will. Free will gave them the CHOICE.
-
Right. But it's an all-powerful god. Or am I mistaken?
-
If he wanted to monitor them, he would not have given them free will. BUT HE DID. he gave them a choice. He decided NOT to predict it.
-
But it knew what was going to happen, right off the bat. A god that willingly ignores the misery it causes is terrible.
-
No he did not, because he gave them FREE WILL. he knew they may choose the fruit and he knew they may not choose the fruit. And god again gives the people FREE WILL. so he does not KNOW.
-
If it doesn't know then it isn't all-powerful.

Isn't being gay against Christianity though? Pretty sure Tartan is a dude.
