i've heard that you can't be straight edge and christian because jesus drank wine. but wasn't the wine cleaner than the water back then? so wouldn't it make sence that you just drink the wine, not get drunk, instead of die from drinking the water? just wondering.

not everyone drank wine. john the baptist didn't. That being said. jesus could turn water into wine, it's a bit unrealistic to think that he couldn't also purify water if necessary.

buddhists and hindus, both of which predate christ don't drink alcohol and never did.

"groups that are retarded"? ok, how? I'd be really interested on your take on either of these religions.

Thats the problem with religion. What makes christianity more real than buddhism or hinduism?

buddhism wouldn't make sense to lump in with hinduism and christianity.

Yeah, thats very true, I thought about that after I said it. But i still stand by my question of what makes a certain religion more real than another.

the honest answer is it depends on what culture you are born into.

the answer you get from billy will be different and not as honest.

Buddha wasn't fat. He was actually thin. The fat man you are refering to is the Chinese Fat Man which represents contentment and joy. Buddha is often represented as the fat man, for that reason, but the Buddha wasn't fat.

you are probably the most closed minded christian i have EVER met. how can you get mad at people for bashing christianity, and then go call other religions retarded? and just so you know, buddha wasnt fat. the statue of buddha represents his inner self if i'm not mistaken. he fasted all the time. and he's not a god, he was the first to reach nirvana. think of it like, and this is a bad example, mohammed. the muslims dont WORSHIP him. they worship allah. the buddhists dont WORSHIP buddha. they follow his teachings. study your religions before you bash, dick.

You are right about the Buddha and Buddhism. Technically I agree with and follow the teachings, but I'm not so sure I should call myself a Buddhist, as I rarely meditate and have never set foot in a temple. XD

Pretty sure they don't worship buddah. They follow his teachings to seek enlightenment. Just like the others said.

That is typical for most christians to mock, bash, what have you, other religions. Hell they do it even in christianity. They all think thier faith in christianity is the perfect right one.

like some others have said before, what makes Christianity better than all the other religions in the world? What makes it the right religion?
When you say that your interpretation of what teaching everyone should follow and the god it honors is correct above everyone else's then your saying that you know everything there is to know about the creator of this earth in an ever changing world.
According to Christianity there is only one who knows all, God. So if your saying that you know all that could possibly known about God and how he wants to be worshiped, then you must be refering to yourself as God.

nothing in common? Do you even know anything about hindus or buddhists? You've made a bunch of a bullshit statements that clearly demonstrate that you don't.
