This is a religion where god sends people to eternal torment for not believing (essentially a thought crime), then blames it on them for his not giving them the gift of belief. It's a religion centered around eternal torment for those who don't toe the line. It has a rather checkered past which persists into the present, with multiple schisms and tons of disagreements on what it even means to be a Xian.<br /><br />Of course, what's the measure of "best?" If evidence, logic, reason, and how well it matches the empirical world are the measures (as they should be, unless you wish to talk about the best fiction) then Xianity loses to non-belief, as it is wholly incapable of providing evidence and flatly contradicts much of the evidence we do have.<br /><br />Xianity is sold from generation to generation mostly because of brand loyalty.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-21615626867485728622010-07-25T20:32:26.841-07:002010-07-25T20:32:26.841-07:00How true that as Christians, we easily forget that...How true that as Christians, we easily forget that this world is watching everything we say or do, and we forget Who we represent. <br /><br />I always remember Gandhi's quote:"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.
