There are many people who are 100% convinced that Islam is correct.

There are many people who are 100% convinced that Christianity is correct.

There are many people who are 100% convinced that Judaism is correct.

There are many people who are 100% convinced that Hinduism is correct.

and they can't all be right.

So they must all be wrong.

Not that that's logical.

I was looking for a thumbs up button but realized this wasn't youtube

It sounds like you are explaining to me why the Queen of England is better than I am.

Well it's pretty similar considering both are rulers over men in a sense, just different aspects. (At least the Queen used to be a ruler over men)

He made us Human, Then punished us for being Human?

Free will has consequences, just like drugs and many other substances if used improperly. However, like most of things, there is a cure.

I think I'm christian. Who the forget cares anyways?

[Dodger]

Oh wow Christian actually has the highest amount of votes ATM

Yes, it is. Except the thinks she is better than them. Through some mystical power, she is better.

This isn't true. At all.

My biggest question is, why does God care about what humans do/think? Why does he want glory from humans?

It did on my poll too for a surprising amount of time.

[Vegetarian Zombie]

Yeah but Atheist/Other/Agnostic all combined has more than Christian

If god is omnipotent he would have known that we would have done something wrong in the future and changed it if he really was "all loving", and if someone does a couple bad things through 70-80 years they deserve an eternity in pain? I don't even thing some murderers deserve that.

Yes, Monotheism is losing.

[Hiok1998]

Yes, Monotheism is losing.

I just think most of the other is people saying "I made my own religion".

[TheKhoz]

I just think most of the other is people saying "I made my own religion".

Either way they don't believe in Christianity.


And I'm going to say this:

Atheism is not it's own religion.

Polytheism is not it's own religion.

Monotheism is not it's own religion.

I know the Queen isn't better than them in any physical or mental way, but she still has legal authority over them. That isn't the point though.

Because that's pretty much the purpose he planted us here according to most theology. Most angels glorify God, but have no free will, so it would seem worthless. It would be like a robot programmed to love you, which is not as significant as love from a free-willed creature.

1. But then that would interfere with our free will

2. Ones goes to hell for the thing they didn't do, asking for God's forgiveness through Christ.

So, an all powerful being creates a bunch of creatures for the sheer purpose of boosting his ego?

So they get eternal torture for something they didn't do? I have yet to find that loving.
