so lets think and make a one religion called "we are all human being" forget which religion we are. and its difficult to follow hundreds of pages books to lead ur life. keep it simple. respect each other, do whatever u like it should not hurt or bother someone. forget spending time in church or temple dont waste money on buidling church ot mosque, bring that money to support human being. and for ur kind info as per unesco survey by 2011 religion will the 4th biggest economy in the world following IT in the first, medicine in the 2nd and education in the third. no wonder people will invest money on religion. and it will happen. and vetican run many companies and they have their own bank.

what is happening in China my dear. Jesus loves all. christinaity is alive an dthriving in China. it did thrive in Russia too. even under the communist rule. when Romans banned Christianity it still remained alive. Christianis were burned, sedn to the galllows or wild animals ate them. to not have thsi fate all they had to deny Jesus.

my dear,
U r confused. u r taking christianity and Catholism to be the same. Christian is one who lives his life according to the BIble. That is all. No worship of Mary or no worship of idols. Just faith in Jesus Christ.

so catholics are not christians? i have seen lot of protestants are celebrating 25 dec and bread and wine. dont mistake me when i see this merry ratha yatra in bangalore it makes me disgust. it showsthey are doing it only to convert people. and its not Christianity . and there are lot of proof that dec 25th bread and butter are mitris origin. its good to know that catholism is not same as Christianity. hopefully someday we can discuss about this alot about it. but u cant convert me.

All I can say is "Father forgive them for they know not what they say and do". With these words Jesus died on the Cross. I am a christian and I can tell you that I support Jesus Christ. For I know that one day everyone will be touched by his life. You may say whatever you want but remenber that christians are the largest population in the world. We have a head in the POPE. We respect him. One day you will understand.

haha.. nice talkin to u man. Yes there is a differece. 25th is not actually the Birth of Christ but we commemorate it. Bread and wine... its simbolic of the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. that he shed his blood for our sins. To know about Christianity read the Bible. Its love .Love and sacrifice. Jesus chnaged my life 6 years back. never felt i Did wrong y acceptinghim in my life. I got the peace i was searching for. a menaing for my life

Were the vatican sleeping?
by SAJID on Jan 16, 2008 03:18 PM

Why are they condemning the books now?, after millions have already been sold and HP is now a household name. The vatican is wrongly assuming that all the children will start indulging in witchcraft. C'mon, neither do today's children have so much time nor will responsible parents allow them to do such a thing. Today's kids are mature enough.
When I see such news I am reminded about Deepak Chopra's words - All religions are obsolete, they are divisive, quarellsome & idiotic. An imposed moral map will never work . Look at all the havoc in the world today - who's doing it - organised religion.

- Mithra made a Contract (or Covenant) with Man confirming an older contract with God - The Persian word Mithra literally means - - Contract. - -
- Mithra celebrated a last supper with his disciples before his death.
- Mithra died to atone for the sins of man.
- Mithra was resurrected on a Sunday.
- Mithra ascended into Heaven to rejoin his Father.
- Mithra will return to pass judgment on mankind - He was known as the judger of souls.
- On judgment day, the dead will arise and be judged by Mithra.
- Mithra will send sinners to Hell.
- Mithra will send the faithful to Heaven.
- On judgment day there will be a final conflict between evil and good. - The forces of evil will be destroyed and the saved will live in paradise forever.
- Mithra is part of a holy Trinity (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) that took human form.
- Mithra followers drink wine and eat bread, which represent his blood and flesh.

God so love dthe world that he sent his only son, so that whoevr belives on him shall not perish but have everlasting life. U wnat to see Jesus do a miracle ask him for the most impossible thing..

am not making any fun of anybody or religion here. this is just my doubt, celix says that God sent his son...so then even christians accept that there is a god whom even jesus prayed during his death. So y is it that they don't pray to God and have stopped at Jesus.
If this question hurts anybodies feelings or faith...then just ignore this question.

No, It is just to highlight the simirities and influence of Mithraism on christianity.

Mitra - The VEdic God, in ancient Indo-Iranian mythology, the god of light, whose cult spread from India in the east to as far west as Spain, Great Britain, and Germany. (See Mithraism.) The first written mention of the Vedic Mitra dates to 1400

Religion is something which helped Human beings to come out of cave and live together as a society. Understanding it is not a joke. depending upon evolution of that religions certain practices and beliefs may differ ( or seem to differ to ordinary mortals like us :) ) but at the core they all teach the same thing .. how to live a good life .
