uniquefarang Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 3 hours ago, lvr181 said: "Christians" were never a religion of peace. An apostasy from Jesus' teachings was foretold both by Jesus as well as by the Christian Bible writers. Less than 70 years after Jesus' death, Bible writers were already identifying apostate teachings and antichrists. So "Christianity" has for most of its existence not represented the peaceable teachings of Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a good point re the people in N.Ireland killing each other by the thousands. These people claim to be Catholic or Protestant in religion but don't live by the teachings of their founder. Similarly, there are many 'Buddhists'in Thailand(no such thing as Thai Buddhism, as a previous member said) that live a life far from their founder's teachings. These ordinations are traditional, not religious in most cases and obviously political other other interests will get mixed up with these ceremonies. PLEASE don't blame the religion of Buddhism, the Thai people, or anyone else apart from the guy who pulled the trigger, who may well have been an atheist. Actually, science has now proved that there is no such thing as an atheist but that is going off on a tangent. http://www.science20.com/writer_on_the_edge/blog/scientists_discover_that_atheists_might_not_exist_and_thats_not_a_joke-139982?psych Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
