Instead of threatening me, I wish that Christian people would just hold their religion in respect to themselves.

The tyrannical perversion of man's fanatical fear of mortality.
general principle: A set of rules which, should a person adhere to they will transcend to "heaven" and spend expereince eternal happiness. Should said person fail to follow such rules they will spend eternity tormented in "hell". This principle promotes mass acceptance due to its relation to the naturally observed phenomenon of dialectical monism.
Utilised historically to affect social control whilst simultaneously generating profit. Superceeded by the advent of mass media and the illusion of choice. Now utilised by extremists to justify acts of prejudice and intollerance.

"Religion is poison"
by Prof. L. Inguista September 11, 2006

A belief that sets rules on how to live ones' life, and often causes intolerance to diversity. If you follow it, you are wasting your time.
Religion is the opiate of the masses; This is nothing but the truth. People need to wise up and stop living in their hopeless phantasms of so called "faith". The Bible, along with all these other religious texts (qur'an, torah etc.) are nothing more than fairytale storybooks that have yet to be proven and I truly pity those who base their whole lives around it.

Complete farce used to control people and give powerful people a reason to start wars and fuck people over.

A concept which is popular with people with power because it allows them to use the human's natural fear of the unknown against them.
Christianity, as well as other religions, was used hundreds of years ago as a tool to scare millions of people to give money to the Church thinking it would save their souls, and a way to kill hundreds of innocent people because of their alternative beliefs.
Egyption Pharaohs' priests told them that to get a good crossing into the afterlife, they would need a huge pyramid built which would cost thousands of lives to build.
