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?

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<<
