I have come to the conclusion that some people are seriously misled. I am a christian, and while I am not perfect (and don't claim to be in any means), I believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and assended to heaven to prepare a place for us.
I do believe Buddha was a wise kind old guy, that he was helpful, wonderful, and that he died of indigestion (how ironic), and that I may as well pray to a wall than talk with him. If he didn't have the power to keep his food down, how will he help me?
Islam is a derivative of Abraham's illegitimate son, who was condemned, but promised a nation that would be a thorn in the side of the believers. Well, he got his promise, didn't he?
However, people believing that the earth "just came to be," that is bizarre. Since the "big bang" theory is the most believed in, but let me ask you this: where did the matter/antimatter come from to make the explosion (or if you don't think it was matter/antimatter, what was it and where did it come from)? How coincidental that matter would come together in such a way that an atmosphere could be formed, and life start struggling to live (hmm, what are the odds...). Also, how interesting that we have found no traces of the "small million year steps" it took to get humans from tadpoles (interesting)...
If you ask me, it is a lot more logical to believe in a God than it is to believe in evolution. (I'm taking this from a pessimist's point of view).
Going back to Mormonism, in the book or Mormon it says that if you lead a good life, but are not Mormon (and have never been Mormon), you still are going to a "lower tier" of heaven. Ok, I'm safe there.
Christianity has been morphed into so many different things that it is really sad. Yes, the Mormons claim to be Christians, but they are not. They worship a God who can't make up it's mind about stuff, and keeps changing it's mind to benefit his current political status (such as accepting blacks as not condemned to hell not too long ago). Jehovah's Witness, another example of Christianity turned into a cult...
I could go into a rant on how wrong it is to criticize our president, but I will only say that you have the right to your opinion, no matter how stupid it (or you) may be
