Lighten UP people....

Ten reasons why beer is better than religion:

1. No one will kill you for not drinking beer.

2. Beer doesn't try to ruin your sex life.

3. Wars are not fought over beer.

4. They don't force beer on minors who can't think for themselves.

5. When you have a beer, you don't knock on other people's doors trying to give it away.

6. Nobody's ever been burned at the stake, hanged, or tortured over his brand of beer.

7. You don't have to wait 2000+ years for a second beer.

8. There are laws saying beer labels can't lie to you.

9. You can prove you have a beer.

10. If you become addicted to beer, there are Groups to help you escape.

Don't hangovers count as torture?

That is still 67% of the people on the planet that get to go to Hell because they are not Christians.

Before somewhere around 1 AD (which is an innacurate date anyways, so an exact value is irrelevant and also not very possible), there were 0 Christians. So, all the people that lived and died before that time got to go to Hell, according to Christianity.

You are avoiding the point on this one. You specifically said that Christianity only comprised a fraction of a percent of people. I merely refuted that with documentation.

Further, your statement of the fate of those who lived before Christ shows a lack of understanding of the Christian faith, which is based upon Judaism. Traditional Christian belief is that prior to the coming of Christ, people were responsible to meet the requirements of that religion.

Additionally, I have made no statements as to what I believe to be the fate of anyone. I do not claim to be God, nor do I pretend to have any control over the eternal fate of anyone.

I said a fraction of a percent of the people that have ever lived, not that are currently living. I am inlcuding all of our line, not just the people that have been living in the Last few 1000 years.

Very few people were followers of Judaism, so that doesn't really change a whole lot.

I never said you made statements as to people's fate. But Hell is the fate for non-Christians according to Christianity (after the alleged coming of Christ).

Wardad I agree....

Things are not heavy in here, so lightening them would not have that great of an effect.
