I had to vote no, for the simple fact, not all christians are pushy about their religion. Some are decent people that respect the faiths of others regardless of what they may be even if they don't agree with them.

I would however agree that there is a larger population of them that would force everyone if they could.

I think christians that respect other faiths are really in the minority of their faith. I have no evidence to back that up, for it is just a simple observation and I could easily be wrong, just as easily right.

I have no idea how this rambling relates to the poll..


Anyway..real Christians, as opposed to philandering politicians claiming to be men of faith, and not about MAKING YOU become LIKE THEM. Real Christian's love their fellow man. They believe that their path is the only one to a beautiful eternal life. They believe people off that path have an eternal life of pain and anguish. They don't want you to BE LIKE THEM, but they want you tell you about the path in the hopes you get on, saving you from eternal pain. For some reason this drives secular people nuts.

Mostly yes, they believe nobody is correct except them regarding God and religion

Yes - history is proof of that. Christianity is responsible for more murders and tortures of innocent people than all world wars put together in my book. Just look at the witch hunts that occured in europe and the spanish retake of the 1400's. The forcing of most of the worlds civilisations to come under their belief system - europe, africa, south america. Only fairly recently in history have their methods become less violent.

Christians are not suppose to do to certain things, one of them is try and force fee religion to somebody. Another is fight about wether there is a God or not.

Yes they do it, but it is wrong. That is the way I was raised.

Stop keep knocking the Christians! I can tell you for sure that churches are one of the best places for picking up chicks...! What else do you think is going through everyone's mind (NOT LEAST the priests!) during that unrelenting load of garbage called the "Mass" other than SEX...?!

Yes, anybody who reads history will agree with you, dear. BUT please bear in mind that nowhere in CHRISTIAN religion( the way christian religion was written at that time) asked christian to act in such violent manner. There were many good decent christians at that time who vehemently opposed thsoe curelties. I just had to mention about those good, decent christian people because it would be disservice to their great souls if i didn't.

Yes, there are good people everywhere and although Im not a christian, I have another faith, I happen to believe in Jesus as a generally good guy who lived a long time ago so I dont necessarily knock his principles but the bible as far as Im aware was written by other men who I dont know and the things which have been done in the name of the christian God and Jesus are, I think, a total violation of everything he stood for. I think Jesus would be appauled at many of the applications of his beliefs.

The original question was not asking if all christians are good or bad, because they contain both types of people same as any other group, but was would they try to force their belief on others? My answer is they already have.

oh...if you ladies are already convinced that they already have indeed forced christianity, i don't dare to conclude otherwise...how can i despute two pretty ladies, after all?laugh But my question is that don't you think if they already have "forced" christianity upon others, they can always denounce their beliefs in christianity. don't you think?confused

Millions did and lost their lives as a result - don't know about you but if I have a choice to live and wear a mask of a religion just to survive I will choose that cos life is the most precious thing I possess so I guess many were simply forced into accepting the faith. And now that most people are free to denounce their fiath or not practice it as rigidly they are slowly leaving - church stats will show you that christianity is rapidly on the decline.

Are not Protestants and Catholics both of the christian faith? Why are they at war with each other? maybe the members from Ireland can answer this one.

I think you have a point when you say that christians are slowly leaving the churches, and it is not really a good sign as far as overall welfare of this whole world is concerned, because practice of christianity, generally speaking, like other organized/monoethiest religions teaches us to live in peace and harmony more often than not. By the way, i am not really a christian...i am a muslim.
