56. I don't have a problem with anyone being a Christian...
as long as they are honest about themselves and doing it for the right reason.

Religion is necessary for some people. It provides them with a sense of purpose, of hope, of peace, of community.

Personally, I believe that ANY religion is a form of government that wants to enforce their beliefs on EVERYONE especially the extreme "Christians".

In addition, there are too many holes in the truth about Christianity that I cannot accept it. There are too many similiarities with other religions suggesting that they just copied so that others would be more willing to become Christians. Then there are the contradictions between science and faith.

Then there is the question of which is the "true" Christian religion. Supposedly, they are all basing their religion on the same bible yet they are all different. There should not be any dispute on what believers are suppose to believe and how they follow their religion. Even back during the beginning their were many different forms of the Christian religion.

I find it odd that a god would create a universe filled with stars and planets. Why? There would be no reason to do so for a god. A god would be able to create a planet able to sustain life. A god would be able to provide everything necessary in the immediate universe. Yet, there are these other galaxies.
