Would it not be due to they not seeing what Christ meant, his teachings?
The Church of Jesus Christ go to Hospitals for healing when they should be aware that the True Physician is destroying the lie of any ailment, or whatever the case may be, that all things are done -through- Christ which strengtheneth one.

Your religion, joseph's religion, visvahetu's relig...sorry, ideas, all share the same weight of credibility from my perspective. Zero :]

Yes, but why has it?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI was brought up with vague, and ill-defined reference to some God or other (forget whether it was the protestant or Catholic variant to be honest) and had acknowledged independently of religions that I don't believe in magic well before I recognised, as a corollary, that I'm an atheist. I say that I could have been brought up in a JW household or a muslim household (though in this case may have kept my trap shut to save my own bacon (haha!)) or any other religious household and the outcome would have been the same.

It's not just religions I reject, it's also souls, astrology, telepathy, ghosts, tooth fairies, flying carpets, santa claus, and anything else intrinsically unnatural.
Again, christianity did not form my way of thinking...it just evolved naturally.

no worries my friend, for you are known to be one of the most peace loving members of this forum, having brought to our attention that little children are being manipulated towards violence!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat's where you and I differ...I have never, for so long as is important (as a 4 year old I may not have questioned the sunday school teachings that I have no recollection of now - I believe I was subjected to a couple of them...may be wrong though) believed in any gods or supernatural things in general. My mind will not accept such notions.
