“Many argue that Christianity is "different" from other religions - that it is primarily about love of one's fellow man.

“At the bottom of religious persecution is the doctrine of self-defence; that is to say, the defence of the soul. If the founder of Christianity had plainly said: 'It is not necessary to believe in order to be saved; it is only necessary to do, and he who really loves his fellow-men, who is kind, honest, just and charitable, is to be forever blest' - if he had only said that, there would probably have been but little persecution.” IfsMenBelieveKindLittlesHas BeensSaidSoulSelfOrderReligiousChristianityForeverHonestFellowsBottomSavedDoctrineFoundersPersecutionFellow ManDefenceCharitableSelf DefenceReligious Persecution Author:Robert Green Ingersoll

“This is something that I'm sure I'd have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and prostelytize. There's the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven't embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they're going to hell.” PeopleThinkingChristianJesusBeliefDifficultChristLevelsChristianityHellHavensSeriousJesus ChristFellowsIslamIncludingDebateSaviorQuartersHusseinDifficult ThingsMind BlowingChristianity And IslamReligion Of Islam Author:Barack Obama
“If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it!

“I believe that Judaism was an improvement on polytheism; Christianity was an improvement on Judaism (to some degree and in some departments only); that Protestantism is an improvement on Catholicism; that Mormonism is an improvement on Protestantism.

“One of the many burdens of the person professing Christianity has always been the odium likely to be heaped upon him by fellow Christians quick to smell out, denounce and punish fraud, hypocrisy and general unworthiness among those who assert the faith. In ruder days, disputes about what constituted a fully qualified Christian often led to sordid quarrels in which the disputants tortured, burned and hanged each other in the conviction that torture, burning and hanging were Christian things to do.” PersonsChristianChristianityAtheismFellowsConvictionBurdenPositive AtheismSmellBurningThings To DoTortureHypocrisyFraudBurnedDisputesQuarrelsQualified Author:Russell Baker
