Atheist OP, I can't believe you are still going on about the Pagan origins of Christianity.  Your assertions about Horus and Mithra being born on December 25 have been thoroughly demolished, not that you would acknowledge that and I am sure you will blithely bring this up again in some later thread to attempt to convince a new audience.

So having failed at showing the Pagan roots of Christianity, you now just asset that Christianity is paganism because the trinity is polytheistic.  The concept of the trinity seems to be beyond your ken but it is most assuredly not polytheistic.  God has several aspects just like people have different aspects: We have Obama the president, Obama the husband, and Obama the father.

If religion is about power and meant to scare us (of what?) why is that Christianity preaches the meek will inherit the earth?

What has religion done for us?  Christianity brought us the then and still radical message that we must love one another unconditionally regardless of race, religion, or circumstance of birth.

As for wars, if you knew anything about the Arab Israeli conflict you would know it is not about religion at all--it is about possession of land.  Believe it or not, the vast majority of Arabs don't now that Jewishness is associated with religion.  They think think Jews are an ethnic group.  And some of the most radical Palestinian leaders have actually been  Christian (eg George Habbash and Nayef Hawatmeh).

Do you KNOW your bible?

Yo do realize that the HOLY land was bestowed upon the Jews by God through Abraham.

[quote] "On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'To your descendants I have given this land..."' (Genesis 15:18). [/quote]
Will you deny what your GOD has said?

Abraham had Ishmael and Isaac - two different wives.  Muslims believe they are descendants of Ishmael; Jews believe they are descendants of Isaac. (Hell, even the Christians revere Abraham.)  So each side believes that land belongs to them.

So yes, it's a goddamn HOLY WAR based on a book written by men.

Is ignorant your middle name?
