But just because I believe that, doesnt make it right. But according to Christianity, I am going to hell. It doesnt matter how good a person I was. And if this is true, then God is a pretty f*cked up being.

if you did believe in God, would you want to believe in a God that controlled your thoughts and forced you to believe in what he said? if the God i believe in is actually existant, then thats not the type of being he is. he gives us a choice... to choose him or not to. what kind of God would force his subjects to worship him? not an omipotent, omnibenevolent etc. God, i would say.

i'd like to apologize for the crusades. they were stupid and went against what true christianity stands for. i'm sorry.

If God is real, he is omnipotent.
If God is omnipotent, he can do anything.
If God can do anything, (this is the important part) then can he create an object so massive and dense, that not even he can move it? If he can, then he cannot do everything. If he does, than he can't do everything. Its a lose-lose situation for Him.

that is obviously a paradox that doesnt seem solvable. but 1. i dont see how that is really all that relevant and 2. if the God i believe in exists, then he is obviously (as stated by several people already) not confined by the laws we know as humans, such as density and mass. problem solved.

Religion isnt perfect. And neither is science. Therefore, neither is right. But, maybe a mixer of the two is. But both sides are too are too arrogant to accept the other.

obviously true. if i were to blindly say "my religion is completely flawless" then i would have an extremely hard time proving it without using arguments of faith, which are pivotal in religion, and oftentimes in science (big bang, etc).

On the other hand, you have the religious countries of the Middle East fighting like a bunch of ninnies over their religious differences with technology invented/discovered by scientists (nukes, bio warfare etc.). Maybe it is this, the perfect combination of Religion and Science, that results in the end of the world. Maybe that is how it is destined to be.

read the book of revelation in the bible. thats pretty much right... though your version is way simpler.
heres a question for yall:
if the bible is so flawed, why is it so widely used by nonchristian historians, and why have so many of the prophesies it contains come true/ continue to come true?
