Debate: Is belief in God for the GREATER GOOD?
Side: No, for the greater good.

No, the belief in God for the greater good is just a belief that people use as a excuse to push and impede their beliefs on vulnerable people especially children as well as an excuse to act in ways they would deem unjust or wrong, such as Killing in the Name of God.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

First off, God has never told anybody to kill homosexuals. Man has told man to do such things. The Bible is written by man, it wasn't written by God. Christianity is fine, eating at McDonald's is unhealthy.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Crusades, inquisition, dark ages, witch hunts, ect. Death is pretty unhealthy if you ask me...
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Damnit did you not understand the guys response? You must not have. All that shit you mentioned are done by people whom have used religion, or Christianity, as a way to bring death upon people or suffering. Christianity did not do that. Those that believe in the extreme christian way, did that. Get your facts straight. Christian intent is not to bring sorrow amongst the human civilization. My proof you ask? Do not disregard the good of mankind. Question the indifference and extremist ways of religious people, not the religion itself.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

The sad thing I have discovered about Warrior is that he won't accept that Christianity especially Catholicism has its flaws anything bad done in Gods name he twists and says its political but anything bad done by people who believe in another religion he immediately blames that whole religion and says they are evil. He has really gone down in my estimation following a couple of debates we have had recently
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

the bible says to kill homosexuals, it said that slaves are fine to keep and Jesus recommended beating them!Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

the concept of loving your slave master is still there, the illegality of abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage are still there. homophobia, sexism, and the death of gay people, people who couldn't get abortions, people of other religions and atheists are still there. The bible is still read as fact and positive and holy to children! indoctrination is still there. All of these things are in the bible and worshipping someone who advocates slavery, killing people with other beliefs and gay people is unhealthy
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

The crusades where a defensive conflict amid at reclaiming the holy land from the Muslim invaders. Learn real history
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Well, unfortunately, there are more than one religion. And not only Christianity or Catholicism. There is also what you call a muslim religion my friend. No need to blame everything on them because they are just defending what they believe in.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

the title of the debate was Christianity rather than religion
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Christianity is a religion. Ergo... what you are talking about this debate is also considered religion.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Re-claiming something is not defensive. A reclaimation is an offensive act. Youre statement is a contradiction. It was an all out offensive to take back the "holy land"
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Regardless the Christians involvement was a reaction to an invasion if the U.S was invaded would you say we would be wrong for responding and retaking lost ground.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

witch burning? Banned science... ?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

And the dark ages where caused by the PAGIN BARBARIANS sacking Rome and destroy in most of its knowledge. What wasn't destroyed though was saved by the CATHOLIC CHURCH you like reading? Well the written Latin language (latter every written language in Western Europe notice how all western country's use the same alphabet) was SAVED by the CATHOLIC CHURCH YOUR WELCOME
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Bullshit. It was the Catholic church that burned witches, persecuted Christians, and started the crusades.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

bullshit the Muslims took Jerusalem from the Byzantines the pope called the crusades to Reclaim what rightfully belonged to Christianity
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

The pope does not have the right to dictate to people. He does not have the God given authority.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Jesus Christ himself established the papacy when he appointed ST Peter as the head of his Church AKA the first pope
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Jesus is the head of the church, not Peter .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Pter was appointed BY JESUS to be the head of his church on earth and so he was and so was every pope to come after him just as The Lord Jesus commanded
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

You are wrong, and I have proven you wrong. It is really sad when people refuse to look at the FACTS. I will post the proof for other curious minds who are willing to think for themselves.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

You protisants don't recognize the pope as gods shepherd on earth but we Catholics do and we are correct
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Idolatry is wrong .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Where is the idolatry in his arguments? I dont get it.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Jesus cannot be hear on earth to show us the way to salvation that is why he established the papacy starting with Peter the pope is gods shepherd on earth to show his people the way and protect them from the wolves
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

You are wrong. Jesus is the only way to be saved.John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I agree with your statement. ;'(
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

then why do you believe in anything the bible says? it could (well I say could) be a whole lot of bollocks, if one verse was written by man whi says the whole thing wasn't, especially when it says the world is flat, the world is 6000 years old and sorcerers exist and should be killed
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Jamstamanify, Why do you believe anything that you read? Everything in print is a lie. We all know that lies are based on facts. This is because nobody recalls all details and the blanks need to be filled in. If ten people witnessed a car crash and where asked to describe the what happened, you would get ten different versions of these events. What would remain undisputed is that a car crash occurred. Details are irrelevant, Christianity is about Jesus. Not a flat world or who old the earth is.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

seriously why do you believe the bible if you think it is all lies by your own logic
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I don't believe the Bible to have any intentional lies, just inaccuracies do to human error.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

well then you should not read the bible as you say it is lies and it is an immoral book why would anyone read it or believe anything it says
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Stop twisting the Bible. That verse is about temple prostitution .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I completely do not care about homosexual marriage however the Bible calls homosexuality a perversion. Read for yourself (Romans 1:26). Tell me what you think but please just don't tell me to fuck off.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

That is about idolatry and temple prostitution. The key to understanding Scripture is context, context, context.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

But it says do not lay with a man like you lay with a woman. It seems pretty clear to me.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

That is about temple prostitution and idolatry .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

It does say do not lie with a man like you lay with a woman. A lot of people say this as saying homosexuality is a sin. What do you say to them? I just can't see how it deals with prostitution.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

As Thewayitis said, the Bible was written by humans influenced by God. They obviously put their views in it, too. For example, if you were writing a book that could possibly influence everybody's lives in the future, you'll probably include a few things important to you like, in your case, it's okay to love another of the same gender. Obviously, in their times, that sort of thing was so bad, you'd probably get shunned by your family for declaring you were homosexual. The people writing the Bible thought that too and so included it. Jesus never said that it was terrible to be homosexual. He said that God was love and love was holy so why would he say that it was a bad thing and suddenly contradict himself?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

he also criticised people for not killing their disobedient children and to beat your slave and also he said to the disciples they must leave their children and families which is child abuse, he also threatened that if you don't love him more than your family he will send you to hell for eternity. If it was written by evil bastards why do people read it?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

You really don't get it, do you?"he also criticised people for not killing their disobedient children and to beat your slave" I'm pretty sure Jesus did not say that."he said to the disciples they must leave their children and families which is child abuse" He didn't mean on their own! Children have mothers as well as fathers, you know."he also threatened that if you don't love him more than your family he will send you to hell for eternity" He said you should love everybody including him but that he was God Almighty so you should always follow him no matter what whereas family are humans and so do stupid things. You wouldn't idolise your parents if they became drug dealers would you?It was not written by "evil bastards". It was written by humans but with the influence of God - something atheists struggle with. Some things would be completely unacceptable in today's community but these things were written by imperfect humans thousands of years ago who, as I said before, obviously put some of their ideas in as well. This doesn't mean that the Bible is rubbish - almost all of it is what God wanted them to write - but you do get the odd bits which are not completely godly things to tell the world to do.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

read the evil bibles page "what would Jesus do?" all of my facts are backed up. It's not like it's something atheists can't comprehend it's just obviously not written by some one with even a small amount of knowledge by today's standards even my little sister knows that witches don't exist and the Earth isn't at the centre of the universe! if you believe that about the bible why the hell do you read it? you should disregard everything it says as it was written by cave dwelling sheep shaggers who believed in witches
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

1) It wouldn't be 'by today's standards' - it was written over two-thousand years ago!2) Witches are not in the Bible the same as Tarot cards and Horoscopes aren't in the Bible.3) As I said before, most of the Bible is great! Like 99% of it is truth and great advice to how to live your life - it's just that 1% that atheists on this site always pick out to try and catch Christians out.4) The last two sentences (if you can even call them sentences) are completely illogical. Btw, I'm thirteen. Compare my arguements and the one I'm replying to...yeah...
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

as 'Thewayitis' even said. The bible is written by people.I could write a form of the bible that says don't eat rice because I dislike it, and if enough of it is good, people will believe.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

then why do people believe anything it says it was written by stupid dessert people 2 thousand years ago and is evil in so many ways, it is so inconsistent and unreliable
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Those are the people who make it out to be a bad thing. I may have started on the side saying religion is good, but I have since changed my opinion to say that it's not inherently good, or bad, it just has power to be.That power can be good if used by good people, or people who want to do good, such as an ex con who wants a reason to not kill again, or a an alcoholic who feels that Jesus may be a better coping mechanism than Vodka.Just as the power can be used evilly, as in the hands of person who wants more control of his government and claims that god told him to run for senate only to become a corrupt person. Or like with the crusades, where people fought to the death to say that their God was more real or better than their enemies'.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

the debate is whether it is healthy rather than good, something can be good in the way that it could be used to treat a disease but have terrible and dangerous side effects
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

if it cures a disease but has side effects that are less than the original disease it's healthy by compariosn.The christianity is be chemo, and all of the deaths that was caused by it is the side effects, but the killings that were caused becuaseeople had nothing to believe in is the cancer.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

ok maybe that was a bad analogy hmmmmmmmm ok so something can taste good like Mc Donalds but it is unhealthy
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Lol, I don't like the taste of McDonald's but here I go.McDonald's is Christianity, all food that is bad for you is, but if you don't eat anything at all that's worse than McDonald's or junk food. Just as if religion just never existed the people that it saved would have not been.Also, religion brought about so much art in the Renaissance, which might not be healthy or unhealthy but it's good for the world in how it shows our creativity, just as McDonald's or junk food, if never enjoyed makes for a pretty boring life.Life without enjoying your self every now and then isn't really worth living.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

no you can eat some vegetables think of all the people who died because of religion gays, "witches", atheists, scientists, philosophers, artists and all the people who died in holy wars. I couldn't give less of a shit about art when all these people have died and who says atheists don't enjoy themselves I went to the zoo yesterday : P
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I was saying that eating McDonald's is better than eating nothing. If you have no access to food at all, then it is best to settle on McDonald's than starve. That analogy means that Christianity may be bad in a way, but just like junk food it's better to have than to go without because, the people that it saved.And sure, I wouldn't think of exchanging even a single life for all the art but the people that were killed were going to go some way or another. I think I said in an earlier post that people, will find something to argue about. If it's not about differing religions, it'll be about how much food someone may have stored for the winter. So with that said, it's better to have the people that would have died due to religion die in exchange for art, than to have the other people killed for other petty arguments, and get nothing out of it.As for the fun bit, I'm not saying atheists don't have fun. I actually believe they have more fun than Christians sense they are subject to less social laws, but instead it was another analogy. Religion gives the religious a reason to live or something to fight for, if they never had that they may have found something else to believe in, but without the unexplained omnipotence of a figure pulling the strings in a bigger picture, it wouldn't really stack up.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

If I may add it is talking about the time when they were populating the earth. We are populated now. If fact we have more people on earth right now than we ever have and more people here now than all the people who ever died. So, acouple of homosexuals are really helping the over population.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Yes, but we are not talking about what "god" says.We are talking about Christianity, the religion that is based on the Bible, a book written several thousand years ago by desert dwellers.That book is not healthy, and because Christianity is based off it, Christianity is not healthy.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Ponder on this. Christianity was around before the Bible was written, so how is it based on a book that wasn't written yet.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

No it wasn't.Jesus was a Jew, who had talked to priests as a child about Jewish matters.The Bible is based on the Torah. Half the Bible IS the Torah.You are lying now?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Jesus was a Jew, note the was. You were a fetus; Are you still one?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Jesus was always a Jew he never converted to any religion so I don't know what your trying to say
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Jesus was always a Jew he never converted to any religion so I don't know what your trying to sayThe was is merely past tense since his life as a human ended 2000 years ago.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Ok, So I am an atheist. But I still believe that Christianity can be a healthy thing to believe in for people. Religion for most people help them a lot actually. Even though I'm not a fan of any religion really, I think that Christianity can be healthy. It just depends on how far a person goes with it. If they are one of those like 'Hardcore' Christians, then I don't really think that is very healthy. It makes them narrow minded and so absorbed in religion which can never be good. But for most, it helps them with their life, therefore causing it to be healthy.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

It seems like someone is biased, as your argument has more holes than a number 9 sponge. however in response to some points1: God commanded those things of the Jews, if you have a problem with that then take that up with the Jews.2: Whether or not christianity had anything to do with the Nazi's is speculative and irrelevant, its a straw man. I may aswell condemn athiesm for Mao and Stalin who killed almost as many people as WW2 did.3: Slavery in ancient Israel was not like common slavery that we know, it was a voluntary act and a safety net for the poor, much like a marriage or adoption. http://godwords.org/posts.php?id=31I could say more, however that should be sufficient for now
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Absolutely Christianity is healthy to believe in, and more it's a great way to live our lives. Being a Christian means, being Christ like. Christ means ''messiah'' which means Savior. If everyone tried to help others, even save them from their horrible circumstances, like orphans, the hungry, the poor, the heartbroken, then how much more a better World would we live in? If we all implemented Jesus' ways by serving others and thinking less of ourselves then WOW! Christianity is being Christlike, so of course it is healthy to believe in and apply to your everyday life.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

It doesn't teach people to blow them seves up or kill people like Islam or go turn you into a pretentious know it all like atheism while still providing believers with comfort, answers, and a moral code to live by. so idd say yes it's very healthy.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Oh bullocks. Not all Muslims are like that. Maybe I should say that Catholics are pedophiles. That would be just as bigoted.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Not really the Quran promotes jihad directly the bible never glorifies pedophiles. Look I know not ALL Muslims are like that and live peacefully with other religions. But according they'r profit they are heretics for doing so.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I can prove you wrong. Click on the link. This Quran verse is proof that TRUE Muslims believe in religious freedom.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

They are talking about accepting those who follow THE religion as in Islam I saw nothing there about accepting OTHER religions So no I don't believe TRUE Muslims do
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

You are wrong. I just proved from the Quran that Muslims believe in freedom of religion. I know more about Islam than you do, as I have actually studied the subject since I was 13 (I am 31 now), and I am friends with a tried and true Muslim who is NOT a Jew or Christian hating Jihadi terrorist. You would do well to research the subject for yourself, and not believe the media's propaganda. They lies a lot. It also helps to talk to ACTUAL MUSLIMS. I am not fond of Islam either, but I refuse to believe the lies.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

That quot I showed you was the same quot but from the Yasuf Ali version of the Quran and it clearly refers to other religions as evil. That's pretty intolerant. And I have studied Islam I know a fare deal about Islam for instance did you know it was the Muslims NOT the Christians who started the series of wars we now know as the crusaids
