Sorry, but Christians are not weak minded, uneducated people.

That's my opinion and it is not directly challenging your faith or anyone esle's.

The Christian movement used fear as a tool to keep it's deciples in line. Now that we, as a human race have evolved from 2000 years ago the Heaven and Hell stories just don't do it for rational thinking people.

You believe Jesus is the son of God by a miracle birth with Mary, I believe Mary is the mother of Jesus and he WAS a great prohet and he was conceived as any other mortal is conceived.

Muslims, how strange to think that God is going to give up his virginal daughters because you think you are an honourable warrior doing God's work.

So there we are Syb, we are all entitled to our views and I honestly believe that Christians would have to be a bit " Weak Minded " to believe in a literal sense that things like Noahs Arc etc. took place as described in the Bible.
