Re: Who divided by 0?
I guess I will put a little input into the Christian part of this thread.
Christianity, as NFD said, can be biased. It can be repetitive, and so on. But there is one thing about Christianity. Christianity has been around for about 2000 years. The Jewish religion has been around even longer. And, correct me if I'm wrong, I doubt ANYTHING could last 2000 years without being twisted to man's needs (Other than, say, scientific law. But this is religion, based on FAITH, and NOTHING can prove FAITH, as that's it's key characteristic.). So, with that, there are plenty of churches and denominations of Christianity that are almost completely man-made. Most ALL denominations of Christianity have a man-made prospect in them. Also, being around for so long, it's hard NOT to repeat something that's already been preached.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that Christianity has many different parts and people, and you can't group it all as one. That's like saying (sorry) "All black people are stupid". No I'm not racist, I'm just using this as an example. Saying something like that can't be said. Sure, there are some black people that are stupid, but there are also white people that are stupid too. NO religion can be grouped as a whole, and therefore can't really be argued about.
Now, I'm sure you guys have said a lot more by the time I started writing this, but whatever. I hope that someone can at least understand what I say.
EDIT:: @ NFD and the gay part, I understand where you are coming from. I myself am Christian, and I know that my religion preaches AGAINST gays, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't stop being friend's with gay people. If they are my friend, It wouldn't make any difference if they one day said "I'm gay". So really, you can't place that all on Christianity either. Only the people you can really blame, I guess. I can accept someone being, gay, even though I might try to convince them otherwise. I would try my best, but if they are persistant that's what they want, I won't say any more, as there wouldn't be any more for me to say.
