I'm Not Saying You Guys Are Wrong But Christianity Is Such An Easy Religion To Bash, If You Really Want To Debate Religion Vs. Science You Have To Go Back, Pr-organized Religion And Pre-symbolism And Look Into The Early Oral History Of Doctrines And Lessons Taught By People. Religion In It's Simplest Form Is Faith. Why Did Early Man Have Faith And Why Did Some Men (Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus, Confucius, Moses, etc.) Believe They Were "Chosen" To Bring About New Religions And Why Did People Choose To Follow Them And Essentially Start Organized Religion? People Thought Fire Was Magic (Black Magic At One Point Too) And Anyone Who Could "Conjure" It Was Worshiped Like A God (Also Look At Early Paganism) But Soon People Disproved That Fire Was Magic And If Simply A Reaction When Certain Elements Are Presented In Such A Fashion (First A Theory Then Easily Proven). Given That, Why Didn't People Just Dispel Early Religious Leaders And Say Everything Could Eventually Be Explained By Science They Just Haven't Reached That Level Of Intelligence Yet? Were They Gravitating Towards Faith Because They Wanted Something To Believe In, Something Better, Something To Make This All Seem Worth It? Was It Forced Onto People To Encourage Them To Work, Claiming If They Didn't They Would Rot In Hell Forever?
