[QUOTE="Tippy, post: 14583, member: 283"] [b]Christianity[/b] An interesting topic on a TT board. I don't see anyone's personal faith as bad - as long as it gives them comfort and provides an impetus to make society, at large, better. Christianity has, indeed, been an umbrella under which horrible attrocities have occured. But it also has provided stability and a cohesive bond that offer support to its followers. If I had to say whether the religion has caused more good - or more harm - I would be hard pressed. For my own personal tastes - I don't buy Christianity. The entire scenario of an innocent god-man being sacrificed for the sins of others was well known before the story of Jesus came about. Payment in blood - the shedding of innocent blood - is too pagan for me. Long before the story of Jesus - other such stories circulated - on a widespread basis. Zoroaster was very similar - but perhaps the oldest one known to us was that of Osiris. More god-men that died for sinners - and whose spirit resided in Hell for three days before rising again to their eternal heavenly home. And in both of those myths there is another striking likeness to Christianity - that of the cannibalism of the dead god-man. Pagan-type myths would often eat the dead god-man, the only difference is that in Christianity - the cannibalism is symbolic - 'taking communion' - the Holy Sacrament. However, in the RCC - that Sacrament has another very pagan belief, called transubstantiation, which simply means that the wafer and the wine ACTUALLY turn to the REAL blood of Jesus in one's tummy. As someone else alluded to - the Trinity is a pagan element - found in numerous myths. Just because I do not believe the story does not mean that religion has no place in modern society. It still does and ruler after ruler have used it to control the masses. [/QUOTE]
