Look up the Catholic Church, read the catechism, read the works of the saints. It's literally everything you need to know.
How is religion a disorder? It does not hinder us, and does not stifle reason. By your logic, all belief is a disorder. "I don't believe in anything tho" everyone believes in something.
I know nothing of a Christian religious war, well a physical one anyway. However Islam is the one bringing physical destruction, so this topic is stupid.
Yeshua is how the ancients called Jesus, just to clarify for Ayemaker.
Let the record show that I'm not retreating from this debate, I can go for days, really, but it's like 1am here and I want to at least watch anime before I go to bed, if I stay here, I'll be here to the break of dawn, arguing the morality of religion.
When I say can't be clearly defined, I mean it's just a very broad idea, that can be further specified into more ideas, like communism and nazism. And everyone has socialist stances, which aren't good but Hillary has many, and many that are in a purer form that, let's say, a more right-wing person would have.
God can't let everyone into heaven, else it wouldn't exactly be a heaven anymore, nor would there be much incentive for people to do the right thing. It's not a perfect comparison, but it's kinda like saying just because someone has a hard time abiding by the law, doesn't mean that they should go to jail, because the law might not parallel their moral code and that would be evil. It's not very good because it's on a smaller scale, but it's the closest I could come up with. And I'm a very skeptical person, for the record I'm always arguing with teachers and debating over material, and my buddies hate that I have to challenge almost everything they say.
And lastly, pride is a sin for us. We are all created equal, so when we think ourselves above someone else it is a sin, but God isn't equal to us, he's above us, so he can be proud and rightfully so. Btw, these aren't just my beliefs, these are church teachings.
Socialism can't be clearly defined, as I've said Hillary has many socialist stances, although maybe not a pure form, but at least some form. I'm not familiar with all of the hundreds of political terms for socialism and its variants, degrees and blends, but I can at least call it where I do see some of it. There is basically no government on earth without at least some degree of socialism. I don't agree with it, I don't think that things should be taken from someone and given to another, but I do believe it's the responsibility of everyone to help each other out.
Here's a quote from one of your sources
"There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them.[6] They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism."
I analyze what my opponent says carefully, I don't just blindly spew out my feeelings
Well, although eternal torture does sound unpleasant, it is avoidable. Some people may have a harder time than others, but I believe that it's just a test to pass. I'm an extremely skeptical, scientific, and methodical person, but whenever I hear stories from the bible, I know how ridiculous they can sound, but I've never doubted them, for whatever reason. As for being eternally damned, if you were God, and were responsible for many great things (hypothetical) and someone was to discredit you, even your existence, leading others down a path of disbelief (remember, christian doctrines say that God wants nothing more than for us to join him) and starting a chain, I'm sure you'd be angry. However, the will of the divine is unknowable, and I don't even know if we have the same feelings, us and God, but if we did, I think that's how it'd go. I hate to sound all preachy and don't want to sound partial, but that is what I think.
