genocides have been commited in its name because the white man was omni-important.

A religion which tells you to love and respect your neighbors and your parents, yet is centered around a man nailed to chunks of wood.
Christianity is funny.

A cult created by Paul with the intent of making it easy for pagans to adopt monotheism and the Ten Commandments and join the Jewish revolt against Roman taxation, oppression, colonialism, cultural imperialism and occupation.
Paul made it easy for the pagans by throwing away Jewish practices that Jesus, as a good Jew, followed, including circumcision, kosher dietary laws, and Sabbath observance. Paul also made G-d into a human being (Jesus), again to make things easy for the pagan idol worshipers to understand.
Jesus never viewed the Old Covenant as abrogated or obsolete and followed it rigorously as an observant Jew. Jesus did not want to die, asking G-d why He forsook him. On the crucifix, Jesus referred to G-d as "my Father", which is one of about ten ways that Jews routinely refer to G-d, not indicating any actual parental relationship.
The Romans killed Jesus because he wanted to be Messiah, which meant becoming the next king of the Jews and kicking out the Roman's appointed puppet king for the Jews, so the Messiah thing was treason against Rome and punishable by death.
Many Jews wanted to be Messiah and all of them failed. The Romans crucified many thousands of Jews according to historians of that time, primarily because the Romans feared that the Jews would rebel, which they did twice, resulting in millions of Jewish deaths, the eviction of the Jews from Judaea (Israel) and the erection of the Arch of Titus in Rome directly in front of the Roman Senate to celebrate the Roman victory over the Jews.
Later on, Jews changed the idea of Messiah to apply to whomever would bring world peace and Paul changed the definition to be whomever gets you a free ticket to heaven.
Because there is not and has never been world peace, Jews do not believe the Messiah has yet arrived. Because Christian's accept Paul's definition of Messiah and because Christians believe that they have a free ticket to heaven, Christians do believe that the Messiah has arrived.
The key problems with Christianity include:
1) pathological, genocidal anti-Semitism (they stole the Jews' religion, or tried to, and so wish to bury the evidence...literally)
2) non-obligatory nature of keeping the Ten Commandments (since you can always accept Jesus on your deathbed and go to heaven)
3) perverting the idea of Original Sin to be that which guarantees anyone who doesn't figure out some trick to be saved will burn in Hell for eternity, rather than the metaphorical event that gave humankind Knowledge (and the moral responsibility that comes with it) that made our species different from the animals
4) making G-d fallible enough to create a moral law-based path to Heaven (Judaism) and replacing it later with a free ticket to Heaven (Christianity)
5) making G-d egoistic enough to sacrifice his son for Man's salvation, but only allowing those who believed that such an incident occurred to benefit from it
6) making the focus of life into the after-life, rather than this life, thereby devaluing G-d's gift of Creation
7) numerous genocides, inquisitions and persecutions throughout history and throughout the world
Christianity first became popular when the unpopular Nero fed them to lions in the Roman Coliseum, after offering them a choice of renouncing their faith; Romans hated Nero, after he allowed the city to burn while he fiddled (and due to his cruelty, insanity and sexual perversions), so they took an interest in this Christian demonstration of resistance to his scape-goating them for the fire.
Christianity's second major advance occurred with the adoption by Constantine of Christianity, following his wife, and his imposition of it as the official religion of the Roman Empire. Many argue this was to appeal to the powerful urban elite, many of whom had become Christian, some of whom had been converts to Judaism, but switched to the easier Christianity after the Jewish Revolts failed and Roman persecution of Jews became severe.
Christianity's final paganization occurred at the Council of Nicea, where pagan priests, fearful of losing their jobs after Constantine's conversion, became Christians but imposed their paganized views on the young faith, thereby elevating Jesus to the status of G-d and introducing Jesus-idols into churches. This culminated the process of de-Judaizing Christianity and resulted in the Iconoclastic controversy, where the pagans proved victorious.
Having succeeded in eliminating any part of a Jewish soul or moral compass from the faith, Christianity then began a 1,500-year murder spree, destroying indigenous cultures throughout Europe, the Americas and Africa, resulting in a Christian population today of close to two billion.
Today, in its heartland of Europe, Christianity is in decline. In England and France, more worshipers attend mosques than churches. In the Middle East, most Christians have been evicted or killed by the Muslims, except in Egypt, where Christians are merely persecuted. However, Christianity is succeeding in the Americas, Africa and Asia (the latter in which it fills a religious vacuum).

Christian: "You are going to Hell, where you will suffer forever, because you do not believe that G-d sacrificed his only son for you to save you from Adam and Eve's sin when they ate the apple.
I, however, who worship Christianity, will enjoy an eternity of bliss in Heaven, perhaps playing harps, perhaps visiting dead friends and relatives whom I miss, and perhaps flying around with a new set of angel-wings."
Non-Christian: "Dude, you're one wacked-out freak. Get a life."

Christianity is a monotheisic religion that originated from Judaism. There are many denomiations of Christianity and every one of them is different. You have the up-tight Baptists, The guilt-ridden Catholics, the laid-back Methodists, and the very loose Episcopals (my denomiation). It is pretty ignorant to say that all Christians are close-minded and/or hateful. This is untrue for true christians are accepting and try to be loving like Christ.
Examples of the denominations of christianity:
Baptist Prayer-"Lord Almighty, I have sinned badly and please spare me from eternal damnation!"
Catholic Prayer-"Our Mother of Perpetual Sorrow, I am a terrible sinful person, I know i deserve to burn for stealing my neighbor's garden gnome, Please Forgive Me!"
Methodist Prayer-"Well, Let's see here, I sinned pretty bad so how about we just forget about it and star off new."
Episcopal Prayer-"Oh yeah, I'm sorry i passed out on the street after winning the tequila contest. Also, I think I should add a MY BAD for punching George in my drunken rage but George was annoying the hell out of me"

A. In the USA: A dangerous political movement dominated by right-wing conservative extremists and fanatics who use religion as a smoke-screen to intimidate, manipulate, control and hurt people and our government. They are bent on destroying our democracy and replacing it with a theocracy to have us live much like an oppressive country such as Iran where people have few if any rights and laws are dictated by religious leaders. They bully mainstream politicians much like gangsters to do their bidding and frequently take tirades when they don't get their way and make threats like in the Terri Schiavo case.
B. Describes an organizaton of usually mentally unstable social terrorists or fascists who try to dupe people into believing they only are following the will of god to justify their atrocious actions. They seek to take away your civil rights or deny them to you by manipulating the Republican party, through special legislation in Congress, amending state and federal constitutions, by manipulating the courts or pushing for ballot initiatives to decide your rights when all else fails. Their tactics and goals are much like the Nazi party's in Germany during WWII in regards to the Jews except they can't get away with mass murder here or establish concentration camps for groups they marginalize and detest. At least not yet.
C. Something that oppresses and marginalizes. Something that is intolerant. Something that imposes itself on your life like it or not. Something that is often in your face and shoved down your throat. Something that typically shows little if any compassion, love, respect or care for people that are different.
D. A religion whose followers mistakenly think they can invoke as an excuse to justify their actions against other people. They arrogantly believe their faith in itself trumps anything else including your privacy, civil rights or saftey. It's followers often use select bible passages to hurt others and justify their obnoxious behavior!
E. A religious movement of fanatics that thinks it can justify bombing abortion clinics or gay bars and killing innocent people in the name of faith much like a Muslim may think their faith justifies sucide-bombings that kill innocent people for different political reasons. They often like to scapegoat people. They pretend to fight for democracy while actually doing everything in their power to destroy or undermine it. They want people to be tolerant of them but refuse to tolerate anything or anyone that they claim is against their religious beliefs.
Everthing is Black and white to them. There is no compromise. They often try and justify their actions as freedom of religion and free speech while doing all in their power to stifle the free speech of people that disagree with them.

Christianity threatens our democracy by its followers attempts to replace it with a theocracy of the religious elite.
The Neo-nazis, KKK and militia men call themselves followers of christianity and use it to justify the horrific acts they commit against racial minorities, Jews and gays.
Hitler said he was like Jesus, a messiah of christianity fighting against the communists and Jews in Europe and the world. He subsequently murdered millions while many church leaders including the pope looked the other way to appease the Nazis and keep their power.
The fanatical christian preacher and his followers callously picketed the funeral of a gay man that was murdered holding up signs that read...GOD HATES FAGS and SODOMITES BURN IN HELL...all while the dead man's family and friends looked on in disgust and disbelief. A fine example of christianity and its compassion for others.
Christianity is responsible for the deaths of many people often women burned as witches who threatened the male-dominated hierarchy of the church!
Jews and Muslims who refused to convert or were accused of practicing their relgion in secret after converting to christianity were frequently tortured, forced into exile or murdered!
Homosexuals were frequently murdered by the church. Burning them at the stake was the typical form of execution because of the intolerance, ignorance and lack of compassion of christianity! The Knights Templar were murdered by the Pope and a European king for practicing homosexuality but in reality the murderers feared their power and wanted their gold!

Based on the teachings of Jesus, who went to India during an 18 year gap to learn Buddhism.
The difference between buddhism and christianity is that Jesus preached to fishermen and Buddha, who predates Jesus by a good 500 years, preached to intellectuals.
