it just goes to show how fragmented christianity has become...its amazing to think that it started off as one small group of 12 men in palestine.
That is do to the fact that humans are in control of religion and human greed & prejudice reigns. Ie: The Great Schism which separated the Roman Church from the Greek Church in the 11th century solely based on a power struggle between the Bishop of Rome & the Patriarch of Constantinople which separated Christianity where each excommunicated the other. Then the Renaissance where various men decided to make changes and wound creating new faith or altering the conventinal mainly for no religious reasons ie Henry VIII vs the Pope over the Popes procrastination over the anulment of the marriage oHenry to Catherine of Aragon solely over politics (the Pope was a Hapsburg) and Catherine was related to to the Hapsburgs. The idea was that id Henry Had no sons the Hapsburgs could claim the throne through Henry's daughter Mary. Martin Luther Had good ideas to attempt to bring the church back to the church of the Apostles but again politics played a major role in the way he went about it. Also the fact that Luther, Henry & The Pope all condemned Calvin.

Seriously, what is the intent of this thread? To blaspheme God? Then why wasn't the title "alright, thread for God-haters to gather, pour out their hateful words, demean believers, demean God, enjoy, and have great fun"? Why was I deceived into thinking that this actually was a discussion about the God of the bible?
Maybe if you take off the rose colored glasses and see what the posters are saying without using your own values and see what they are saying, you'd see there is no blasphemy, just logic.

garbage disposal spot for all God-haters to throw their tantrums
I'm a Atheist. How can I hate something that does not exist?
