Bug, you're taking a confrontational approach to understanding Christianity. Just like with any philosophy, you've got to read it sympathetically first before you understand. Then you can read it critically, then try to read it a 3rd time, objectively.

Have you read the Book of John yet? That's where most Christians tell you to start if you want to understand.



Holy shit, the first and last intelligent post. End of thread.



It's not intelligent. I've read the entire New Testament and about half of the old Testament. Christianity isn't a sympathetic set of beliefs. It's inherently 'confrontational' so it should be treated as such. Christianity, along with a lot of religions, can stack up page after page about the mercies of their god but at the end of the day it comes down to the simple belief in their specific god or the punishment is eternal damnation, sounds pretty fucking capricious to me.
