How to get rid of Christianity?

I don't think there are very many people who would disagree with me, that Christianity is one of the stupidest things that people still believe in the modern era.  It has lead to many problems, a lot of political hoopla, and possibly even a war in the middle east. 

So, how can we get rid of it?  Do you think that there's a possibility it's already dying out?  Would that be a good thing if it did? 

Christianity is the root of all the world's evils!!!11!111!1111 LOL

Hello, >>1, you're the only person who cares.

The rest of the world figured this out years ago.

French= cheese eating surrender monkeys
Cubans= Wannabe russkies with no stamina
Canadians= grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
but nothing ladies and gentlemen, nothing can come close to the pointless waste of time that is christianity. jesus was a con man, a very rich con man thanks to you religious hippies buying crucifix's to decorate your oh so pure necks. now, im not knocking religion.............awwww sheeit who am i kidding of course i am knocking it! Waste of room on the planet that could be used for swimming pools and attractive ladies. or attractive ladies in swimming pools. stop the world, we have some christian hitch-hikin hippies that need kickin off to uranus. scram!! 

Personally, I think most of the Christian morals are worth following, but the way they push religion into every aspect of life these days from court rooms to class rooms is, to put it lightly, just a pain in the ass. The most powerful country the world has ever seen is falling behind due to this ridiculousness. They're pretty damn selfish. The Christian agenda, as I've heard it, is to inform every living person about the salvation of Christ. It doesn't matter if they buy it, but as soon as that happens something called a Rapture happens. All the Christians will be gone then. My guess though, is that their overpopulation agendas and (intentional or not) support of the neo-cons will leave this world a shit hole before they go. Assuming that happens at all, if not it'll be a shit hole + all the Christians will still be here. They might not say it, or even realize it, but Christians are supposed to want this world to end.

So no, it won't be dying out. With education getting a kick in the nuts, you can be sure the stupidity, the ignent and the superstitious will be on the rise.

With all due respect, stop lumping the vast, vast, vast majority of christians with a few nutcases. The Rapture is something a few bible-thumpers in the US believe, but guess what? It's completely unknown outside the US, and probably unheard of by most US christians outside the Bible-Belt.

It's a total stupidity by some protestant reject sect caused by two idiot preachers preaching to sheep in the US. That's where it started, and that's where it has stayed.

People complain about Christians imposing their views on people.
Personally, I've seen more atheists try to impose their views on me.

Everyone needs to just sit down and take a chill pill.

Where you live?

The internets, where nearly every time it is revealed that I'm Christian I get at least one person trying to convert me. :P

>>9
Don't want to convert you, but why do you believe in it?

zomg HEATHEN!!!!!!!

I've been tucked away in the South for a while, so I didn't know that it was a only Bible-belt phenomenon. Regardless, those Bible-thumpers are in control now and I don't hear any other Christian groups opposing their radical take on things.

>Personally, I've seen more atheists try to impose their views on me.
I'd like to know what you mean by "impose."

What are they supposed to say? "Stop that"?

They probably just want to be left alone. The problem is that most christians are very moderate, probably the kind that show up to church only on Christmas. They can't understand the nutcases, and really don't want to be involved with whatever insanity the Rapture types come up with.

Or they just move. If I were them, I'd rather be somewhere else.

They might try getting across the message of what their view is, if they have one. Otherwise the radicals have us all beat. Kind of like how Republicans are perceived as having a message, where as Democrats? The answer certainly isn't sit back and do nothing.

Under your reasoning churches should be empty most of the time. And that's just not the case. Around here just about every church is expanding their buildings or just flat out building new ones, mega-churches, that might rival cathedrals in size (not in style though).

Well, even the ones who do attend chuch around here don't talk about it, nor do they most places I've lived (seven countries around the world and counting). Nowadays, most christians consider religion a private affair. I think I've only had one person in the past ten years try to discuss religion with me, and that was a Jehovah's Witness (and they weren't trying to push anything either).

So, even if they attend weekly, they're not making a big deal out of it. Most sane people don't make a deal out of it. I go to the toilet too, wanna know the details?

I can't discuss the religious fervour being displayed over there since I'm thankfully not there, but from the outside what I see looks rather sick. I used to flip those mega-church broadcasts from the US on Canadian TV, and I really have to wonder about those people. That and their beliefs and actions being incongruous.

The honest is truth is that the vast majority of Christians are lumped in with the extremists.

Every religious group (including atheists) have extremists, people who take it too far. They are the kind of people who make posts about how horrible x-religion is or y-philosophy, and how everyone should immediately stop worshiping/thinking that way and convert to their thought.

Getting back on point, if Christianity were followed as it was intended to be, there would be no war, rape, robbery, etc. I mean the general gist of Christianity is "Wouldn't it be great if we all got along?" Unfortunately in certain areas of the world, the philosophy has became "If this person doesn't think the way I do then he is immediately going to hell." or some close approximation to that. This is what truly gives religion a bad name, most specifically Christianity, and Islamicism (sp?).

As far believing goes, its a matter of faith and personal belief and I'm pretty sure that if you ask a Christian why they believe what they do, its usually a very vague answer. The reason why is because its something based mainly on a gut feeling on what you know is right. Blegh. I'm rambling. >>Posts<<

Or indoctrination since birth...  That's the worst thing about christianity, is that people's outlook on the universe is set at birth and they never think about it any other way, because you're not supposed to question faith.

My friends, who were all christian, after a while of not going to church suddenly felt the urge to go, the need to sit in a pew for an hour on sunday.  I asked them why and they couldn't give an answer.  So I went with them and was bored out of my fucking head, vowed never to go back.

Why did they suddenly feel this need?  It wasn't because of any philosophical drift from god almighty...  It was almost autonomic.

"Son I am able" she said "though you scare me"
"watch" said I "beloved" I said "watch me scare you though"
said she "able am I son".

christianity bashing is a fucking cliche

bible thumping is all the rage

"The reason why is because its something based mainly on a gut feeling on what you know is right."

Pretty much sums my feelings up pretty well.
As far as indoctrination goes, my family has never been particularly religious - They believe in the concept of God, but it is very rarely brought up.

In regards to conversion (or pushing my religion on others if you prefer), if someone I know expresses interest in Christianity I'll go with it, but otherwise I don't push it - As far as I'm concerned, cornering someone in a parking lot and throwing religious pamphlets at them does little more than give people a negative impression of the religion and it's followers (as can be seen often on the internet).

Speaking of giving people a negative impression, I've actually known a couple people who outright refuse to associate with atheists, which I consider to be... slightly amazing.

Someone probably scared you by telling you you'd go to hell at a young age.

"if Christianity were followed as it was intended to be, there would be no war, rape, robbery, etc."


so why back then in the past popes wears armor, carry sword and go killing muslims/do crusade or shit?

you think that Christianity was as it was intended to be in the past? you think it was ever as it was intended to be? i don't think it will ever be.

hat's the worst thing about christianity, is that people's outlook on the universe is set at birth and they never think about it any other way

I hate to point out, but this happens with most things. Your mind is very close to tabula rasa when you're born. So, what do you learn?

We learn what our parents deemed appropriate. This has nothing to do with religion, science, or the cow on the moon.

Let's destroy society because there were wars in the past. Obviously society is bad!

>>25
Who says that's how it was intended to be? By then it has already been perverted to suit the needs of the power hungry. Christianty became a tool to exercise control.

Something I've noticed is that many people who try converting Christians do it the entirely wrong way, and are wrong themselves. They say "Become a Christian or go to hell."

They basically say you need to do the right thing out of fear of punishment. Thats not what Christianity is about, you do the the right thing out of love for God and your love of fellow man. To put it in 4chan terms, you should do the right thing because you are a gay for God.

Christianity has been around for two millenia.

I doubt it's going to go on its own.

I'll tell you what's worse than Christianity...an atheist.  Never have I seen such a backstabbing group of amoral people who are constantly muttering to themselves, "Oh God, please don't let there be a God!"

>>28
Lets not kill hitler just only that he have killed millions of jews and slavs!

obviously u r stupid.

>>32
You are stupid.  Atheism != nihilism, and Nihilism != amorality.

Just fuck you and your propaganda.

>>34
On a second reading of >>32, I'm beginning to doubt he was serious.

>>35
Perhaps I wasn't 100% serious, but the reaction achieved did show who has the real problem. :)

>>36
The other side would act in the same way once provoked. Trolling assholes are not exclusive to any (anti)religion.

>>36
LOLZ YOU PROVED ME WRONG AMIRITE?

Don't worry. Cristians and musilms will destroy each other.
Then the jews will rise and reconquer the world.

Disregard this thread, Christians suck cocks.
