yea but at its roots, the problem is that one group of people, or one person thinks that they are superior in someway to another. And b/c of it, they act on it. people get offended and it starts a vicious cycle. Everything is built on foundation, so why should the worlds problems be any different?

Well you seem to know the answers, why aren't you lecturing them? Words are stronger when your audience can hear them. However you apparently do have the desire to rid the entire planet of christians, which leads me to believe you do feel some sort of aggression, try tolerance.

Have you ever read the bible, or even parts of it besides genesis? Do you understand why these things are being fought over? Maybe you'd realize if you would stop making assumptions and generalizations and educate yourself on things other than just what you want to hear.

The bible speaks of high morals and ethics. Dont't Harm Thy Neighbor. Treat others as you would yourself. People get to the meat of the bible and start making assumptions, based on loose interpretations that say what they want to believe. They believe that homosexuals are walking sin, they believe that anything outside of their orthodox thinking is tainted. Things like these are the seeds of what has sprouted your aggression. Believe me i am just as frustrated about that as you are. But ridding the world of christians is not treating others as you would yourself. C'mon this is basic, should've learned it in kindergarden.

Basically, you think the world is better without christians just as they believe the world is better with out homosexuals. How are you two any different?

Matter is neither created nor destroyed, it only changes. What to we don't know. So i guess in that sense it is infinite.

Energy is not infinite. It is expended. Which is why things die.

Time is infinite to our understanding, but time isn't actually real, its just how our brains' correlate events to a certain moment.

The correlation between matter and energy allows things to continually change. From living to dead, from full to hungry, from quenched to thirsty, so and so forth.

We are not aware of this. If we knew time didn't exist, we could do so much more in no time at all quite literally. Also if we were aware of all the changes we make, we would not be in the world we are living in right now. Our conciousness past death is debateable, because one: no one has had the definite experience of going to an afterlife. Two: you would have to be dead to progress to an after life, which is why no one has had the definite experience of going on to an afterlife. So in all honesty, no one can say anything other. But one thing is sure, and that is we constantly change. Into what? Nobody can say.

so you think it is better to direct your frustration with Christianity due to the damage caused by this one particular religion by removing them from the world? Think about it this way, the war between Israel and Palestine is being fought over right now because of the very thing you believe is true. Palestine wants Israel off the face of the planet just as much as Israel wants Palestine off the face of the planet. The malice between these to countries is created by one of them thinking the world would be a better place with out the other, and it has created many many problems for not only them but surrounding countries as well. Aggression is not the answer tolerance is.

i would be inclined to side with you in your particular argument, except neither of you have any substance to your argument.

Christianity has wreaked the most havoc than any single religion, look at the history (evidence please?).

I truly doubt this (I'm glad you do, but why? Whats to say his statement isn't true?). Islam has certainly done more to harm the world (historical events please?). And to be perfectly honest, I have looked at "the history" (so show me the proof!) and there seems to be no indication whatsoever of Christians wreaking more havoc than Muslims.

The world would be a better place without believers in any religion (subjective statement, argue objectively),

How could you say this? Ever heard of Stalin?(now we're talking', your naming actual people now) Atheists are a minority right now, so naturally they have not killed as many people (Hitler was one man...he managed to kill near 6 million Jews). But I would be very skeptical about this statement (proof that the aforementioned statement is subjective...you can't argue an opinion).

Both of you present arguments that could be very interestingly supported, but are in fact very weak because of a lack of support.

To say that the world is better without Christians is at heart the same to say that the world is better without white people, Islamic people, African Americans, Asians, etc. It is discrimination. And if you are against discrimination then it is hypocritical to assume that the world would be a better place without Christians.

It is fair to say that Christianity has had its fair share of damage in the world throughout the ages. But so has Judaism, Islam, and any other religion that I can think of. So to direct one's frustration (because of actions taken that particular religious sect)against a certain religion is just what starts the damage all the aforementioned religions have caused. It is fighting fire with fire, and when you fight fire with fire the fire only gets bigger.

All in all I believe it is more fair to say that the world would be a better place without discrimination.
