they stand by there beliefs.that postive.

When's the last time some Christians blew themselves up taking innocent civilians with em?

Well, about eleven to thirteen hundred years after the founding of Christianity the then current crop of Christians decided that the world would be better off if it were Christian, and effectively went to war against the whole world. How long is it since the founding of Islam? Hmmmm........

Back on topic,

Christianity says that everyone is born, and dies, equal, and is therefore equally entitled to respect.

Christianity says that we each have the means of our own salvation. I know that some churches teach otherwise, but it is the former that Jesus himself said.

Oh we had Dirty Bombs and that back then? ;p

"Uh Oh, here comes Jesus with his RPG-7"

And slaughter by sword, axe and arrow is just as deadly to the victims as a bomb. Especially as there were no hospitals, anæsthetics, antibiotics.......

I quite like the idea of an RPG of Jesus - a bit like Pokémon, but you collect Disciples instead of Monsters and you throw moves like 'heal' and 'forgive sins' instead of 'surf' and 'flamethrower'!!

Rocket Propelled Grenade Mk-7

A soviet infantry portable anti armour weapon, like god!!? :p

Pooh!

Just as I think I've learnt the meaning of one of these interminable strings of letters someone comes up with a new definition!

I had some very old relatives die of cancer very nastily. Their belief in God was a comfort. The gentle way they viewed world was at times naive, out of touch and overly simplistic, but at the same time gentle, charming and loving.

There are some positives there and I do associate their form of Christianity very strongly with morality, compassion, and virtue.

A positive thing about christianity is that it give Chris a feeling of support and purpose in life (?)

Up to a point it does. I do think it also scares him. We never will "have" to kill billions of people. I believe any religion that advises wholesale killing is not one I would like to follow.

Oh no a thread about positives of christianity has turned into a god the avenging - a war god dooming billions to death through modern day warfare.
I feel stupid actually sharing something personal and positive about Christianity.
Maybe you are right. Maybe I was wrong. God is just a nasty bastard who glorifies death.

Yep that's it! Let's concentrate on the Four Horsemen and the great battle of Lucifer and God.
The best representations of positive things to come out of Christianity.

I give up. Good luck with the thread Chris

My thoughts too. All this negativity is only going to make me feel more depressed. I want to hear good things about God, not all this doom and gloom about death and destruction. That just makes me feel sick!

I believe that Christianity is in serious trouble when even its most ardent representative cannot find much that is positive about it.

I wonder why? Our grandparents' generation found peace and love in Christianity in the midst of terrible war. We find terrible things in Christianity in a time of relative peace.

Is it because we just like 'balance' in our lives and get worried if things are going 'too well' instead of just enjoying the feeling?

When it's your time to go, that's it. I think we shall be here for a very very long time yet. In fact, I don't think the world will end in any of our lifetimes or in fact for many thousands of years.
