GOD

I would have to say that the Christian god really does suck. I have noticed that "god" has some pretty funny ideas. For one it seems that according to it first we are supposed to love people but then is like go kill those darn Muslims. Ok well I would have to definitely say that GOD sucks then if he is like, be nice don't kill people and then says go kill those darn Muslims in my name. If you are going to do that, just do the easy thing and either tell your minions to either go kill stuff or not. Another case is that god was the major excuse for the crusades that killed thousands if not millions of people. Also many books have been banned in the name of god because they are not to the liking of Christians, mostly because of either satanic themes, witchcraft or, in newer books, gay stuff. Well then "god," I would have to say you suck because people are banning books in your name that I might want to read. Then there has always been the brainwashing. It is a proven fact that Christians brainwashed Vikings into submission. The test was walking through two fires.
The Viking could easily walk through his own fire but when he tried walking through the fire made by the missionaries he couldn't because he was brainwashed to believe that "god" deemed him unworthy and could not pass. Then there were the Salem witch trials. One of the moments that I would definitely look at and say, god sucks. Side note for the Viking thing, I believe the missionary's right before they finished converting the Vikings said that in the name of god you shall pillage no more. Back to the Salem trials, people have been brainwashed from the beginning of Christianity to believe that witchcraft is bad. Of course, all the people believed that their god was right and that they should burn witches, so they did. Evidence has come up showing that they were not witches and were in fact only the target of jealous girls in the village. It seems to me that 'god' has proved to be a sucky deity many times over.

lol Yep.

Exactally eliasan. Not really anything else i can add to that.

God never wanted us to kill Muslims. The crusades were not His idea. So if you want to believe that God sucks based on the way that you choose to misinterpret Him then go for it but don't think it makes you rational or anything.

If you're gonna say Chrisitan GOD sucks you got to also have to add in there that when muslims were enslaving blacks in the name of their GOD and selling them to Whites. There god sucks to. In India the yogis gave them self for slaughter against England for their freedom in the name of their god. That would suck being the first person out there getting shot, stabbed, etc....oh yeah that brings us back to Christanity it was england that said we have the right to your fortune. wasn't it the white man that rewrote the bible to what it is today via the printing press by gutenberg. It seems to be a problem with radical religous fundalmintalist. So really people suck.

good point, it would seem that the problem actually lies with the fundamentalist christians, or rather, religious extreemists in general, but if you think about it, there wouldn't be any religious extreemists without religion, so perhaps it is religion it'sself that sucks.

i guess ill play devils advacote here to a part of my usual stance

but then you can say people do bad so people suck.. theres 'good' n 'bad' parts to people and religion.. i guess.. lvoe

The problem lies in people. Religion would be great if there were no people to screw it up.

Religion would not be without people.
And yes people suck.
And yes religion sucks.

Like you?

Are you implying that i am not a person? Of course I have the potential to screw up religion just as much as you have that potential.

It was never alive

God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent (all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present), in short, perfect.
People are not. They are sinful and naturally despise God and what he stands for (i.e. perfection).
People use God for thier own means.
Stuff like the Crusades happen (quest for land and riches, not God).

amen, god sux, what has he ever done for neone, hmmm let me think........ nothing, tell me what he has done any one? If god was real and was all so powerful, we wouldnt have sphyco muslim terrorists no 11/7/01, no bali bomings , no horrible deseases, and if he is real, then he sux some major balls.

So you would prefer a God that forced you to obey Him? Interestingly enough Muslims claim to be the descendants of a child born because Abraham didn't believe that God could work a miracle.
