http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_denominations. Catholicism and everyone else huh?Go here and look at the everyone else there's over 32 major sects and plenty more inside those. Tell me why is it when there is a discussion on religion it's only about christians?Religion encompasses everything from Anabaptists to Zoastrians. Gain yourself a sense of perspective. This discission is about the battle of religion and science not an affirmation of your own faith.
An orange whirly thing in space? Orange, with this suit?Not true. The only main differences are: Catholicism & Everyone else. Protestant churches CAN band together and help each other but it's unusual to see Catholics on a large scale(Other than NGO's) actively attend and celebrate Christianity with other denominations.The Passion of the Christ: Worldwide: $611,899,420 - Production Budget: $30 millionThe Da Vinci Code: Worldwide: $758,239,851 - Production Budget: $125 millionPretty close battle I must say
you've lost me there. You say my statement (which is my own observation) is unfair, then go on to explain why it's true.I feel christianity deserves to be attacked, its shown its intolerance and insecurities all too clearly (in the subject that this topic was started on)

I have to lol at this. If youare suggesting that religion wins this one due to higher profits i have to point out that this picture, made through the wonder of science, did more to damage the relationship between the christian and jewish religions than the act it portrayed.I give science .5 for this.Score - Science 3.5 - Religion 0.Please forgive the sloppy posts, i'm still getting the hang of this.
I should say you should go back and read my posts to find out what side Im supporting
I still have to disagree strongly to your split of the christian churches into catholism and the others. You can't dimiss many major christian faiths as just not being catholic. They all consider themselves wholly seperate entities and so should we.
And you are right! But the thing is: Is it a situation of "There can be only one" or "Can there be only one"?By all rights the first church should be the 'right' one(Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox) since all other denominations came from them.Christians would(and do) argue that it is lax morals which are turning people away from the church and that the world is getting more violent ect. But the thing is the orthodox churches are giving way to spiritualism which is a huge turn-around for Christianity. By turn around I mean: Its returning to its roots.Originally Christianity was ill defined. 'Christians' were deemed enemies of Rome and killed. Unfortunately since Christians hadnt defined themselves by any sets of proper rules, other religions were persecuted too.Sorry. I just realized that I was giving you a lecture and I shouldnt be.
where are the origins of monotheism?
christians worship light yes?

Where does what you say XOR from what I said? Care to provide a link to a reputable (non-christian) website that shows there were this many manuscripts, of which I assume you in fact mean fragments of manuscripts, as the idea of 12000 fully intact manuscripts is ridiculous.
I didnt mean to make it sound like a trick question. Its not. Its loaded. Loaded means it's going to fall only one way but in the same way Christianity is so fractured, you have a choice in which way it can fall(and none of them are BAD ways either!)In my opinion there is only one christianity: Catholicism. All other Christian denominations came from Catholicism. Although I would say Eastern Orthodox is probably closer to the original teachings, they too have become fragmented.The defining of God and the Second covenenant forms the basis of ALL Christian denominations. Disputes over the nature of the trinity, the virgin birth and armageddon have all caused splits which turned into movements and then into Denominations.Oh look I've answered my own question. Its not the answer I want, because I wanted it out of YOU. Now you've learnt nothing

I guess the ultimate question is how many public holidays do we get from each each year...Answer: Science: 0 Christianity: (well theres easter friday, easter monday, and christmas day, so thats 3...) and if ur jewish u get hannukkah (+1)that makes 4.Whats on the board miss ford?Science 3.5Religion 4
Ouu this is a mean question. Its either Doctor or LawyerThe main problem is the fact that different personality types skew the results. That is: A Green personality type who is an electrician would probably be very intelligent where's a Red type would just be in it for the helping people/making money.Lawyer is sixty/fourty: Intelligence & Personality. A skilled debator can swing an argument just as much as an intelligent one.I guess I'll have to go "Doctor". But dont you use this as an argument that the intelligence is most required of those people who wish to improve on God's Design! Because that is both a low blow and unbecomming

Hi Arnifiz,BTw the link to that credible site you were asking is below.... I hope you find Cambridge University credible.http://www.cambridge.org/uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521816137
God didn't create disease though did he... although he has been known to actually cure people of cancer.
O RLY? PARDON!Easter = Not originally a Christian festival.Christmas = Not originally a Christian festival.Hanukkah = Not ever a Christian festival.Please reset religion's score to zero.
