You say the church has a philosophy of fear and superiority? Show me religions that don't.What are they.It ain't the big 3 or 4.Maybe BUDDHISM.This is not a thread about how great (or not) Christianity itself is.It's about hypocrisy.

Scuds, are you serious? First Christ didn't write anything in the bible. Various authors did. He is methodist, which means he believes in the trinity. All scripture is god-breathed and god-inspired. So Christ=God. While the god of the bible is a loving god. he is also a vengeful god. There are plenty of examples of his wrath.
Why would you discount the old testament and read only about christ, when the whole bible is about God=Christ?
