Religion, God, The Bible, Higher Powers Options

[OriskybusinessO]

I have a question for all of you believers out there...

If there are so many different reilgions, then how do you know which is true (please dont answer with 'faith')? If there were some 'higher-power' that everybody knew was true why wouldnt the whole world become that religion, or believe in them?

I think that the whole Bible, God, Higher Power deal is fake. There was once this man who traveled to Africa (around the 1400's before any European had ever been there) and wrote a book about how there are people there that had faces in there chests, necks 5 feet tall, etc. Everybody believed it. How do you know the Bible deal isnt like this? I am pretty sure there is no proof that this stuff is real... so please explain it to me. And don't say faith because some people who dont believe, or have 'faith', dont think that there is a higher power and it is just a bunch of... fake stuff.

The difference is, today any real Christian (excluding any radicles or nut bags)wouldn't go to war and kill people over what they believe.

Also, I never said they weren't Christians. Seems you enjoy putting words in my mouth. Not quite a debate if you're arguing with things you said now is it?

Putting words in your mouth or saying things that is intended in your writing?

By the way, how did I put words in your mouth, you're just imagining things or not reading correctly. Try reading again before you wrongly accuse me of anything.

So because today's Christians don't find it necessary to fight for what they believe in, but Christians in the past deems it necessary to fight for their faith makes the difference? You're right, there is a HUGE difference. From what I'm getting from your answer, Christians back then fought for their faith, but Christians today just don't care all that much and "wouldn't" fight (notice that I'm using your own word and not making anything up). Oh well. Though I do not agree with the Crusades for the most obvious reasons, I respect them more.

By the way, it's a good thing that Christians do not go to war anymore seeing how most major religious bloodbaths involve Christians. I guess there's more peace in the world now that Christians stop using force to convert people.
