The Crusades, The Inquisition, pedophile priests, second-class citizen status for GLBT people, the marginalization of countless aboriginal peoples, Pat Robertson...
How many glaring examples of Christianity's hypocritical failure do you self-righteous pew warmers need before you stop taking this nonsensical path-of-least-resistance sheeplike folly seriously?
If we all behaved like you kooks wanted, we'd still be stoning women for infidelity.

QUOTE Deuteronomy 23:1
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
One of the Books of Law. Moses was speaking of the people of Israel when he wrote this. There are many laws strange to us in these books.
Did you know that Jesus followed the laws given to Moses by God perfectly. On one of the many times He spoke to Jewish officials, he said, QUOTE "Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8 42-47
In fact, Jewish officials could find no laws he broke to convict Him of anything. QUOTE But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.” John 19:6b

Funny you should mention that. Read the beginning of John 8 verses 3-11. QUOTE The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

The Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions were all started by man, from books that were all three written by man. Each one says theirs is the "only true" one. People MUST pick the one true religion to get to heaven, or they are damned. All three books do agree on some very important things. All three say God is all knowing, and all powerful. If that's true, I'm figuring that He knows what a mess it is here, and how much confusion all three of these "holy" books have caused. They all three mesh together quite well, and personally, I find that the whole thing with all three of these books seems like a really long and scary Twilight Zone episode.
God told Abraham that He would have an everlasting covenant with one of his descendants. Christians and muslims fight over this part. Christians say Abrahams son Isaac was who God meant, muslims say Ishmael is who God meant. That's where the christian and islam religions branch off from the jewish religion.
And actually, Jesus really isn't a descendant of Abraham anyway. Mary isn't a descendant of Abraham, her husband Joseph was, but...we're told Joseph isn't Jesus' daddy.
I do believe in God, and I try always to live by Jesus' teachings of love, peace, understanding, and not judge others. I'm not jewish, christian or muslim. I've decided, if God really is all knowing and all powerful, then He can send me a rule book himself, instead of one that men write. I honestly don't think God even cares if anyone believes in Him or not. He's all knowing, He understands how difficult it would be for some people to not believe without proof.
So I'll live trying to be a good and loving person, I think that's all that matters. If I'm wrong I go to hell forever, but that's not hurting anyone but me. Besides, if I am wrong, and one of these faiths is the "one and only true one", well, I'd rather be in hell than stuck with all the followers of any one of those three religions! I know not all of any one certain religion is nasty and hateful, but I've met enough of all three to know that ALOT of them are.
