Avatar4321 said:Problem with this is there are people who are right and people who are wrong. Ex. Someone may say that grass is purple. Thats going to be wrong. People can say 2+2=5. thats wrong. The fact is some people are right about some things and some people are wrong about some things. Religion doesnt change that.
Second, the Greateast killer in the history of the world is Communism. Communists have been responsible for more deaths in the last 100 years then in all the religious wars combined.
Besides, why is it that you guys cant tell the difference between someone to be claiming to do something in the name of God and people using religion to justify their evil? To say organized religion is somehow responsible for the actions of evil men who act contrary to their religious tenents is absurd.
With that said I think you had it right to a certain point
People can say the grass is purple, for some people the color scheme is inverted. Like color blindness, these people perceive colors differently than normal. Where you see the grass being green or yellow one of these might see it as purple. For that matter we have no proof that we are correct. The grass may very well be purple and the rest of us are seeing it wrong. We have consensus but the consensus is not always right. (But we all know that the grass is green)
The fact that Jesus said he was the way becomes inconsequential when you factor in that Jesus represented an omnipotent being who was perfectly capable of representing him self differently to cultures around the globe. Sure Jesus could be the way. At the same time God could have sent Krishna to the Hindus or Buddha to the Buddhists. In a sense God could have been marketing his teachings in ways that suited the particular culture. In short everybody could be right and everybody could be wrong.
You are both wrong about the greatest killers though. The greatest killers in the history of the world have theoretically been meteors. Damn things wiped out the dinosaurs, brought on an ice age, and a Civilization Ender supposedly hit the middle east a while back so yeah, greatest killer = meteors :
