I'd close any christian church who teaches terrorism too! I mean there is alot of source in the old testament to be drawn from. But it does seems that most christians choose to ignore the old testament and just follow Jesus. Generally, Jesus didn't kill people. So it's kinda like a safer prophet to follow than Muhammad who have advocated killing those who did not bend to his beliefs.

Now Jesus exists in the freaking Quran as Prophet spreading Allah's words too, I don't know why no Muslims want to follow him and choose to do Muhammad instead. I mean sure he is the last and final prophet, seem to be the most updated prophet I guess. But since all of them prophets are spreading the same God's word. They should've chosen Jesus instead. Another minus points to Muslims for making a damn bad decision in role model of choice.

To be an ACTUAL Christian, one would advocate higher taxes to be spend on the elderly, the poor, the injuries, the ill, the homeless, and those most vulnerable in society. Notice how many Republican and Tea Party candidates state they are christian and want to remove such resources? Those people are pseudo christian. They ignore whole parts of the Holy Bible, because its inconvenient to their political viewpoints.

The problem with religion today is its out of date as a concept. Religion seems more about hatred, intolerance, and ignorance than building a good society. Compared to scientists, how many new discoveries have these religious people made that push humanity forward? Nothing! When looking for a cure for cancer, does one go to a holy man or a medical doctor?

how on earth are you so clueless when it comes to what an "ACTUAL Christian" would do? and you continue to show that cluelessness when you talk about the bible also.

then, as I have always thought and you continue to show, you know really know nothing about religion, or for that matter, for all your cerebral chest thumping about it, science...not to mention "thinking."

and since you will struggle to understand that last point, i'll help you: "when looking for a cure for cancer..." does not follow from your aforementioned of "pushing humanity forward", medical advances just being one aspect of progress. that's like me making a point say "whom do you see when you are seeking counseling about cheating wife", a pastor or your dentist? get a grip.

and when you are laying in bed at night contemplating your own death, or deep personal questions as to the nature and meaning of life, or what happens to us when we die, make sure to call the guy down the street who does pharmaceutical research, im sure he'll be able to help you.
