"I like your Christ but not yor Christians" Gandhi said "Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"
Gandhi has something in his mind.

A famous quote from Gandhi.
Christians are so different from Christ. They are so unbelievable self conceded and they care for no one else but other Christians. In my opinion more non Christians should go to heaven than Christians! Solely based on the tolerance factor. I am a Christian so this seems hypocritical but Christians are slowly turning me more and more away from church. In my school the Christians are the most intolerant ignorant loud people. My friends who are mostly atheist but yet NONE of them try to convert me are much more understanding.
Also something I don't understand....Why do use the bible as a weapon and not a tool to enlightenment? They use it to shoot everyone around them down and condemn them to hell. I use it to open my mind and boost my moral and to heighten my tolerance and kindness towards others.
I believe good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. I completely disregard religion in that judgment.. If the idiotic Christian radicalists want to condemn all nice and worthy Buddhists, Jews, Muslims ect, to hell just because they weren't born into the same religion than so be it, let them leave their mind as open as a bank vault in NYC on a Saturday, which by the way wouldn't open by anything short of a tomahawk cruise missile.

I agree a lot with this thought! Even myself had been a candidate for doing such things... Buti na lang d pala Judgement and Notions ng Tao makapagliligtas satin, Yun Kapatawaran ng Diyos at Faith natin na, He did not Condem us talaga... God Bless Us All at patuloy lang sa Faith kahit bumagsak sa Sin, ask Forgiveness Solemnly yun and Advice nya, buti ng Umasa sa Pangako niya, kesa malugmok sa Sin.... I've Sinned and I know God gave me another Chance to move on and Follow Him again... Musta sa lahat,...

Your quote from Gandhi has many flaws To begin with, Christians can be Christlike but they can not be Christ; and that is one nature of man being unique. The quote only enhances a Christian's belief in the Bible that man are by nature sinful. Christians can live like Christ but he can not be Christ and this goes the same thing too with Buddhists who can live like Buddha but they can not be Buddha. A Buddhist believes that there is nothing that Buddha does not know, but then they also believe that Buddhists can be Buddhas So, can anyone on this planet be able to know everything except for a Buddhist becoming a Buddha. It seems it is almost the same as the teaching of dios Eli Soriano and the doctrines of the Mormons that anyone from their congregations will turn into a god

By the way, the Holy Bible is both a weapon and a tool; and can also be consumables. Just like the new tagline says: "Heroes aren't born, they are built!" Yup! Your Holy Bible can be your own hero for the simple reason that they are built, bonded, scripted from the WORD of GOD.

If Christians cannot measure up even to the world's standards of basic decent human behavior, what does that say about them?

THEN, they are human just like you and me it's an old adage to say nobody's perfect and yet it is the perfect sense to say at this moment. How does one can measure up to the commandments of God, anyway? Do we have to go back to that student-teacher scenario once more? OTOH, it was widely assumed -- even by some non-christians to some degree -- that because of the original sin by Adam and Eve, mankind are already cursed in the beginning. It is also believed that because of this, the chase for salvation is attainable and being presented to avail us of the opportunity

Nobody's perfect, the Japanese show a fairly high percentage of disciplined good life than most of professed Christians.

Commercial, "Limited offer po ito, kase pag ginaya sila, Limited na yung Life"... Mr. rafael, try to focus reading the Word of God (Bible) maybe, as in maybe you'll see, there's nothing to argue pala instead to share the Blessings and Eternal Promise that God is giving to all Mankind... Ok then, please proceed -

And still they are not perfect ain't it? hehehehe There still a gap isn't it? The gap between to being perfect and being a fairly high percentage It seems that you are using my line of defense in order to conjure a very good statement Isn't the teacher-student scenario requires a student to pass beyond the average grade in order not to fail? So?

Comparison of an average Christian to a Buddhist would tell that the latter has more discipline thus Buddha has been more revered by his people than Christ by Christians

HUH ;DThen please show us a comparative data which can easily justify your claim. If none then such claim is far from truth but a made-up personal belief just to advocate a fallacy.

Indictment of several christian church leaders as to malversation of church funds
Professed christians engaging in polygamous practices inside their churches
Chuch leaders enriching themselves. On the contrary
Buddhist monks and nuns go on a daily almsround to collect food. Money should not be accepted by a Buddhist monk or nun.That signify a more simple way and higher sacrifice in daily life.
They keep a strict discipline in life far from other religions known.

HUH, again ;D I could go all day and post the atrocities made in the name of Buddhism The thing is, you made the comparison as if you were really telling the truth, but you were not, simply for the reason that you couldn't show your source of comparison as in a "Comparative Data Analysis" as to why

USA and Great Britain are the two Christian Countries leading the Missile Defence System. Invading Iraq by a false claim After all, no weapons of mass destruction have been found, ...
New sanctions to be imposed in Iran to stop its Uranium enrichment tests.
North Korea is listed as axis of evil by a Christian President(Bush) for reasons of Nuclear build-up , something dominated by USA
The Bush family is connected to a multi-million petrolium business, Quintana Petroleum , dealing with (muslim) Saudi Arabia
Bush made a 2400 percent profit on his Texas Rangers investment. Mr. Bush and the other Rangers owners persuaded the city of Arlington, Texas, to raise taxes to build a $200 million stadium to be handed over to the Rangers.
Even more incredible, Bush and his fellow owners got state and local government to confiscate land for their own enterprises. According to Eric Alterman (“The Scandal No One Cares About,” MSNBC) the state of Texas gave Arlington Sports Facilities Development Authority the power to expropriate private land on which to build the stadium. Several landowners – mostly homeowners and farmers – refused to sell for what the Authority was offering. “The Authority condemned their land and expropriated it by force of law,” wrote Alterman. “It did this with 270 acres of land, even though only about 17 acres were needed for the ballpark. The rest was used for commercial development that made Bush and his friends rich.”
The captains of several American industries did not want Al Gore to be elected president.
Clinton was bad enough, they thought. Clinton had faced down the timber industry, the automobile industry, major utilities, coal, and Big Oil itself by decreeing anti-pollution measures that cut into profits. Yes, Clinton was bad enough. But Al “Earth in the Balance” Gore promised to be even worse.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, industry put its money on Bush, not Gore.
Talking about Myanmar is like a cup of water from a well.

8-)Still, an indirect answer is not gonna cut it for you. How could you justify that living as a Buddhist is better than being Christian if Buddhism itself kills. Is killing one (1) person different than killing thousands?

Don't tell me that professed christians never kill. With the most populous religion on earth, crime rates are most imminent to the so-called christian countries as exemplified by US, Europe with Spain, Italy and Great Britain while indulging in the good life making them more abusive than the Buddhists. Can you think of any syndicate as popular as the Mafia, Cosa Nostra etc. among Buddhists?

People of different culture kills It only justified as to what is written in the Holy Bible - that all men have sinned. Again, it also cemented the christian doctrine that men are innately evil. Since you never really answered my previous querry, what is the difference between killing one to that of a thousand?
True that Christianity is the world's most populous religion on earth according to D. A. Barrett's account, but you are mistaken with the notion that Christian committed the most crimes. FYI, the countries with no god have committted the most atrocities toward humanities. Before, spoon-feeding you into this account, I want you to do your own research and not just by mere guessing without substance.

Why should a mediterranian god be superior to other gods? When christians say that the highest among all is christ then his standard should be strictly done and yet christians are down levelled by their own doings.What is the use of such religion?

Again, you're not answering my question, whether killing one person is different than that of killing thousands If you could only answer that simple question, then all the premises of your own question should have been answered first hand. ;D

Technically mass killing is entirely devastative than killing one person unless you have double meaning to it.
