Sadly you are all misinformed. Allah and YHWH are not but some of the many names of one of my children. His older siblings have long since left playing with this toy i made them long ago. The oldest, Zeus, has moved on to creating worlds of his own, I'm very proud. The one he just made actually lasted 7 billion of their years before destroying themselves with nuclear weapons. I am sad to see that it looks like the original toy I left will not make it much past 5 b.y. Zeus had actually succeded in making the entire world worship him under one religion. Maybe it was all the thunderous declarations and zapping people with lightning bolts. I don't know why junior is so shy about showing himself. I guess he just likes using Holywood to deliver his message to the people. Really lightning bolts are more effective. I'll have to have a chat with him later this century.
So is Judaism, they all started in the Middle East, your point is? Is it that only Middle Easterners can understand christianity? Well there’s still Armenian, Assyrian, Coptic, Orthodox & Maronite Christians there, so what does that mean to you? ** Trinity is a issue as well even within Christanity and Jews don't accept such either.

Although Christianity and Atheism are opposites, they are not the only two options. Christianity is an aberration compared to the many years of intelligent faiths that went before it.
Would you care to enlightening me, with the name of some of these, so called "intelligent faiths". Or are they some kind of secret, and how exactly, did they become intelligent?
Re: cultural viruses Impressive analysis. I would simply like to augment your argument by pointing out that athiesm is not a religion. Your questions "what has atheism... blah blah" is a non-statement. Athiesm doesn't 'do' anything. It's just a word that describes the lack of something. Further, taking the example of two people based on their lack of something as if that lack were responsible for something is invalid.
I actually disagree with you Cris..Your hallucinating, I question your intelligence. Are you living in the real world. HAVE YOU WITNESSED ONE PERSON IN THIS WORLD WHO HAVE NO HATRED? IT IS PART OF OUR HUMAN NATURE..I DONT CARE HOW INTELLIGENT YOU ARE, YOUR INTELLIGENCE DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO "SURVIVAL". ARE YOU STATING THAT IF I SLAUGHTERED YOUR DOG, ROBBED YOUR HOUSE, AND THREATENED TO KILL YOU, AND YOU WOULD ACCEPT IT WITH A WILLING HEART BECAUSE YOUY ARE INTELLIGENT? YEAH RIGHT..... WHAT AND WHO DO YOU DEFINE AS "INTELLIGENT" ANYWAYS? SOMEONE WHO CAUSE NO HARM? ALBERT INVENTED ATOMIC BOMB, SINCE SUCH CAN CAUSE MASS DESTRUCTION, DOES THAT THEN MEAN HE IS NOT INTELLIGENT? CRIS, NOT ONLY I QUESTION YOUR INTELLIGENCE, BUT YOUR BRAINWASHED SANITY ALONG WITH IT AS WELL.
Maybe Ghandi... edit: and capitals do not make an argument any stronger edit2: a quote from him: Those who have at all followed my humble career even superficially cannot have failed to observe that not a single act of my life has been done to the injury of any individual or nation. . . . I claim no infallibility. I am conscious of having made Himalayan blunders, but I am not conscious of having made them intentionally or having even harboured enmity towards any person or nation, or any life, human or sub-human.34
Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!, And you actually think that Gandhi posses no hatred? LOL.......The only reason why he is who he is is because of the fact that they have no military weapons at all to defend themselves, they were flat out broke and is in poverty....... I will be convinced of Gandhi if only he was once a rich and wealthy man, then gave up his riches to serve the poor, or lived in a society filled with greed and evil (such as Las Vegas) AND STILL LIVED A VIRTUOUS GENEROUS LIFE...SUCH CONVICTION IMPRESSES ME, THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING GENUINE ABOUT HIM (Like St. Francis, Mother Theresa, etc..) Once again, Gandhi is a product of the society he lives in, he doesnt have much options in india, he is not VERY genuine to me...St. Francis impresses me, lived in the richa dn wealthy family, neighborhood, and gave up his wealth, and served the poor for the rest of his life...(Because I am aware that atheists are stupid and will say "Prove to me St. Francis exist", then I have another example..) Nuns and priests, coming from united states. From wealthy family or average family, this people have many options in life, but chose to go to serve the poor for the rest of their life..........
I understand & declare that all religion is false. Because on the outside, it looks all too fake. But on the inside...your mind/soul are ever creating and adding to the religion itself. From a christian/agnostic position: I believe in what christ said, because I believe in my truths to compare it with. You believe what you see and see what you believe. Christ was a smart mother---ker. If he was as was written. He was a con-artist with a love for everyone alive. And god liked that so he let Jesus speak his mind. Because he was a man of "wisdom" which is better than power. The people wanted to see power from Jesus. Probably because he was the suppossed king of the jews. God is everything right? Or not? When I open my eye's I see existance, not science. Science is an observation of existance. And most of it is based on theory. So why not look at it as a photo and not a graph. Life is the photo, and a graph is not as pretty as a photo. The fact that many refuse to believe is that Nature/Science are one with true religion. Because any true religion is covered in illusive imagery. It is a feeling...faith. Not something to think about. In fact any good religion will make you feel something. Whether good or bad, it helps keep your wonder going. There is no one truth in god's creations. He created our eyes to see and mold the world. God/Allah created the distraction to see if we could still see him/her/it. Christ was a man who copied Buddah, Islam was the reaction to that. Have you ever noticed how similar religion is to the election process here in the US. The US is a wonderful place to live. It was created to be that way. Unfortunatly anywhere you go, you find those in need and those in less need. Nevertheless, a country with such a great record should be proud of itself. And it is on the face of it, where it shows all of it's goodness and pride. Pride is that which fueled the NAZI's. So we must continue to be a people of freedom. Keep it. Defend it... And don't go looking for trouble. I think our pride is making us go looking for trouble... So is our belief in God. Everyone is god in his own eyes. So don't disrespect eachother. Oh and take a look at the Population control being set forth as we speak by forces of great resolve.
I'm thinking of Buddhism and various pagan faiths. To one who understands certain things about the structure of philosophical argument for epistemological context, the degree of intelligence in religion is obvious.

But now that I find you alive, where is that promised list of religious scriptures and texts that you have researched upon? It is about 4 months that you asked for some time!!! And do include your references in Gandhi in the list too!
He was full of hatred, like most priests. He just had a passive method of expressing it (like a Jew or a Christian).
1) that there was a hierarchy of heaven (God the Father, then Jesus, the Holy Ghost, Virgin Mary, saints, angels, the Pope, bishops, priests, then us ** Odd, to the outside world Mary is no doubt number uno 2) that the Mexican expression of Catholicism was too pagan (with statues, charms & amulets and superstitions), ** What in the world is day of the dead? I did see blood in/ blood out. 3) that you could do any evil as long as you went to confession ** Living in sin with a safey bin..... clev
Oh come on now. My Deiwos is much older than your Zeus. The Greeks were worshipping him before they were even Greeks! All of Europe worshipped him when his focus was on Earth... Actually, he is Zeus's father...
Re: cultural viruses _____________________________________- And just what has Atheism done for for us? Lets take a look at the tens of millions that Stalin, and Pol Pot killed in the name of Atheism. This is thousands of times more than all the Christians have killed in all their wars in the name of the only God. But you see, these were simply people killed BY Atheists, but not in the name of Atheism. If you counted all the people ever killed by Christians for whatever reason, it would number much, much higher. _____________________________________ Where there is no fear of God, wickedness reigns, and there is every form of evil.
