This is a very argumentative post. I accept that, I am looking for honesty.

I have read many posts by many individuals who don't like christianity.

Fair enough, I don't like many things. That doesn't make it wrong.

I am interested in knowing how many who are agnostic, athiest, humanist, gnostic, communist, etc. want to truly eradicate christianity from the face of the earth as a belief.

Obviously not personal details, just firm honest beliefs.

No personal attacks, just unvarnished facts.

A yes or no answer would suffice, its a social experiment if you will.

As part of a general putsch against all organized religions?
Or are we just putting down Christians in this thread?
Sorry, this is silly, and I promised myself I'd try to stay out of the silly threads.

Typical hypocritical horsesh!t from any of the idiots who didn't vote "I don't.":

1. Oh! I hate Christianity because it affects my beliefs. Let's get rid of it.

2. Let's get rid of Christianity because christians don't like muslims, and that's racist, even though Islam isn't a race.

3. I'm not Christian, and everyone should be like me.

Frigging idiots. Man up. Let's see who said yes in any form or fashion, you ignorant plicks.

I voted to NOT to eradicate Christianity.

It takes all kinds.

I personally think Christianity (and Islam and Judaism and Hinduism and any other diety-based religion) is a load of complete horse dung, but I can't make that decision for anyone else. If people are stupid, they're gonna be stupid whether or not you "enlighten" them.

Do I wish Christianity was gone off the face of the earth? Absolutely. But can we make people do it? No.

If you educate people to truly think with an open mind, they'll entertain ideas outside their religion and they will either realize it's a load of crap, or they'll temper their beliefs so they aren't so completely removed from logic and science and every other observable property of the world.

I think religion is dying, anyway. I hope it is. It doesn't do anything for you except give you a false sense of security and a strong community of people to connect with. There's no eternal salvation, people. When you die, you die. Your personality/feelings/consciousness come from your brain activity, and when your brain dies, everything you remember and have known and have felt and have experienced dies, too.

Sorry to break it to you guys.

Point out the soul/spirit to me, and I will convert. Show me what it does or what it experiences that the brain does not, and I will jump on the Jesus bandwagon. I will have the strongest, most undeniable testimony of any Christian anywhere.

But, alas...this scenario is not to be. I must have "faith". I must just believe that there is a soul/spirit when, in fact, I have nothing but my little neuronal experiences to go on.

I vote "no". In a perfect world, it (and all religion) would not exist. But, this isn't a perfect world. So, if you want to be a grownup and have an imaginary friend who tells you what to do, fine. Just keep your imaginary friend out of my life. In other words. don't involve god in public policy.

It has been "eradicated", just that nobody has noticed! Nietzsche sounded the death bells (long after the event) with his "who has wiped him from the sky?" cry.

Peace , love and goodwill are the cornerstones of Christianity. I don't see any of that at all, alive and well. Only the Quakers, Society of Friends come close , as a group.

But it has been eradicated, just nobody has noticed. Just like rock and roll.....

Religious/spiritual beliefs are fine if they stay personal.
It gets stupid when people try to shove it down other people's throats or they have the nerve to want money for it.
