And we must go to war with people who don't follow said book, they must be stoned, blown up, murdered!

How ridiculous is that?

God saved them?

I put that up there alongside 'he works in mysterious ways'.

A complete cop out.

In fact early Christians were under persecution by powerful powers yet somehow survived.

just about to say the same

It's mindblowing and because people can't understand it
or it's just so vast and unfathomable they choose to believe an old story and book constructed by mankind and passed on from generation to generation. BIt like the Aboriginals with their dream time stories !

it would seem you do not know who wrote the bible or how it came to be. you also do not know how christianity spread. educate yourself before you accuse me of ignorance!
===============================

Educate me sir, who wrote the Bible?
There's a reason it's called the Bible.. clue is in the name

Science has not given people enough reason to not believe in God as science it yet to discover 99.9% of our universe. So many unanswered questions that religions can provide explanations/answers.

really?

Last time I checked Bible didnt contain a common universal theory to combine Einstein's Theory of relativity and Quantum physics

Hate religion, too divisive, i was raised a catholic and i hated every minute of going to church as a child, same in secondary school, hated RE and all the bull$hit that went with it, i put my son in a non catholic school purposely so he did not have to endure it all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is nothing to endure. It is just a subject to make them wiser.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This. Knowledge is one of the only sure fire ways of reducing ignorance & hatred.

A lot of the reason people dislike religion and religious people is purely because they don't understand it, or have their preconceived notions, or misguided views based on snippets of texts.
-------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bear in mind i had 15 years of it, i'd say that qualifies me to make a judgement call on RE.

In my belief, everything you do has been written. But that does not mean you do not have free will. The choice has been made by you, but it has already been documented what that choice is.

If God is all knowing he knows exactly what your going to do....

If he knows what every person from the beginning of time is going to do then he actually set that up from when he created the very first person.

Or if god worked with evolution then he knew where it would end up from the very first organism he created, designing and placing it specifically led to everything we see today.

Keep taking those magic mushrooms !

What? Did I misspell anywhere? Christianity survived persecution against the odds is the point I'm trying to make..

Christians have got off lightly when it comes to persecution compared to others

classic example of contradicting yourself. If the choice is being documented before I makes it, Where the hell is free will
