2000 YEARS OF CHRISTIANITY

I believe in freedom of expression and respect the views of others.

---

This work is the result of over 50 years of studying, observing and reading hundreds of publications. In addition I base a number of incidents on personal experience. I am willing to DISCUSS these matters with intelligent, open minded human beings. I DO NOT DEBATE any of these matters. In my opinion, it is up to each human being to decide what to believe. I have my own ideas about RELIGION but I would never think of interfering with any ones opinions. I would appreciate the same courtesy from others.

ad hominem: Latin for "to the man." An arguer who uses ad hominems attacks the person instead of the argument. Whenever an arguer cannot defend his position with evidence, facts or reason, he or she may resort to attacking an opponent either through: labeling, straw man arguments, name calling, offensive remarks and anger.

The fact that there are many different RELIGIONS in general and dozens within the CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, makes one curious which is the right one.

I am a very religious person in sofar as I do not mislead others, I believe in facts, I do not steal, I do not take advantage of others, I pay my bills, I help where help is needed (and appreciated), I do not cheat, I do not believe in violence (in any form). I AM A PACIFIST. I do not judge people by their wealth or lack of it. To me, it is important what is in their heart.

Every so often we are told, specially on TV, that in order to have high morals, one has to be a Christian. I totally disagree with this statement. Does that mean that all generations and all races existing prior to CHRISTIANITY were of low morality?

Virtue is not depending on believing in Christianity. It is the character of a human being. Consider well known political and Religious leaders, worshiping God, and at the same time are conducting themselves in less than reasonable human behavior.

I am an "ATHEIST". I am, like many others a "FREE-THINKER". I do not intervene in any ones life and their Religious believes. Did anyone ever experience an Atheist knocking on your door trying to convert you to Atheism? I don't think so. But many of the Christian faith make it their business, trying to brainwash others.

The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last. George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950), Anglo-Irish playwright, critic.

CHRISTIANITY 1, 2 AND 3 deals with the history of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. This work is condensed and by no means a complete reference.
