I kinda agree with limey. Religion is not so easy to just unattach yourself from. Look around and see how much of your life involves religion in some way.

[quote]Here you have it...Jesus Christ, the man himself, saying that Christianity inherently divides people...now, the division he speaks of here is between Christians and non-Christians (not amongst Christians)...but still, Christianity at the very core of its teachings openly admits it will divide all people and WILL NOT UNITE humanity...[/quote] My point exactly. As long as difference in beliefs exist there will be division. I would give you karma, but

[quote]Having different beliefs encourages competition, because ultimately and usually, one of you is right and the other is wrong. You both believe you are right. Of course, when you're both wrong, it usually creates a bond between you, as now you both want to find the right answer, having got it wrong together. On the other hand, if one of you is actually right, there is a massive range of reactions that could occur in the wrong person, ranging from anger, to jealousy, but of course to good

I would give you karma, but for the most part Selu is right. The original founders of the first Protestant churches did infact see themselves as catholics. However, as I said there are a few that are not and were never associated with cathlicism. Ie The Seventh Day Adventists for one, and the Jehova's Witnesses(who are not really christians imho) [quote]And that is why the religion institution is false, because it divides people into more groups than it is already divided.

[quote]As for religious beliefs, everyone can believe whatever they want, and nobody can take that from them. However, the religion institutions would be obsolete, as it is another form of dividing people. So if by "beliefs", you meant religious beliefs, then people would be even more free to believe whatever they want.[/quote] There in lies the only problem. People who have different religious beleifs have atleast minor divisions in your society, becuase even if there is no instituti

[quote]I would give you karma, but actually it is true...even Protestants believe in some form of the the Four Marks (one of which is being catholic, or of the universal church) though they may go by other names...in particular, the Nicene Creed (which is repeated by Protestant congregations) even affirms one to be part of the "one holy catholic" church...[/quote] I would give you karma, but allow me to tell you from my own personal experience [e digicons]:blush:[/e] Some prot

[quote]all Christians believe themselves to be catholic, which is why Roman Catholic is an important distinction...[/quote] I would give you karma, but thats not true. Pentecostals, Seventh Day Adventists and basically all Protestant churches do not believe themselves to be catholics, but are all christians.
