Mediation

Generations have sought to merge religion and intellect to failure of most. The argument presented today is merely a continuation of this merging. Christians base their beliefs on principles that are deceptions. Most of their religious holidays, symbols, traditions and texts are copied from older religions. "Christ" the messiah shares the life story of several other deities, most, if not all of which, are personifications of a "Sun" god. From the Egyptians to Constantine, religion had been a way to unify a people and has been successful in this attempt. My argument is not undermine faith or Christians belief in their messiah, for i am in fact a Christian as well; i merely want my fellow followers to discrete the information that they are given and analyze it for themselves. Christianity is a religion is a religion steeped in scandal, bloodshed and rejection; that has for generations trapped its followers between eternal life to eternal damnation. Many merely follow out of fear or due to the fact that they are under the impression that they will be rewarded later for their goodness here on earth. Believe what you may, but look at the history behind what you believe and make the decisions for yourself. Base your soul on information that you have investigated, not been told by those who are members of the religious hierarchy. If a strong position must be chosen, i will concede to my opponent solely because her following is far larger and is steeped in emotional belief and many find it hard to see beyond their emotions; even into truth.
