Default Re: Christianity The Biggest Scam In History

Disregarding all past comments, let's take a look at a scam. It's usually a form of persuading a person or a group of people to pursue a certain tangible or intangible item that is not real or misleading. Well, according to physics, religion, being an idea, is intangible and is a item that churches and descendants of "knowledge" taught by churches are "selling". Now some people say that it's not a scam due to the churches doing good things with money but to what extent. Back in the dark ages where everyone was scared to leave their homes, the churches still asked you for 20% of your income and donated land just to get out of the churches strategic teaching of hell. Let's compare that with a modern example, a ponzi scheme, basically they promise you happiness (let's say more money) if you send them, let's say, 20% of your Income. Now when the person thinks that the scam is legitimate, he will will tell everyone he knows, and when the same thing happens to the select people, THEY will tell everyone activating a chain reaction. Same thing happened with religion, it was genius really, but what makes me madder than anything else, is that people believed it. That is why I think religion is in fact a scam.

Oh how funny this is...

Whenever people talk about Islam being a cult, a scam and all that meaningless bull, most people support them... But when it's any OTHER religion people NEVER keep this one sentence you said in mind:How can you call another religion a scam ?"
Hypocritical behavior don't you think?

Christianity is god's own religion. Christianity is the true religion. All other religions are fake. Only Christians can go to heaven because only Christians believe Jesus is the way the the truth and the light and you all who don't believe in Jesus are doomed. Become a Christian today or burn in hell.

Well, this is an interesting thread to be discuss on. First of all, if you claim christianity to be scam, you have to deny others religion as well.

There are some reason why I agree with you opinion :

At old days ( before century ), in terms of knowledge, people at that time can never compare with us. They seldom read due to lack of school , lack of importance to study, no new , show. bla bla bla . They can be fool easily by applying some tricks on it. If Chris Angel, David Blaine and Cyril are born at that time, they probably will be on top of the position of god to be recognize until today ( they might say they saw god walking on skyline.....) . Just take a look at the history, there are zeus , son of god and all these things, yet people believe with what they saw. If you try to make other believe that you are the son of god , I think you might get yourself lock up in certain G-bay for investigation .

A lot of you have the idea where religion wouldn't be scam as it can survive for ages , well I gonna said this : it's not they choose to believe it, it's they want to believe it. Story of anime is fake as we all know, but there are some phrase which is true no matter how we denied . Aizen did said before :

" All living creatures place their faith in someone more powerful than them and they cannot survive unless they blindly follow that person. The recipient of that faith then seeks out someone in an even higher position in order to escape from the pressure. That person then seeks out someone even more powerful that he must put his faith in. In this way all kings are born and in this way all Gods are born."

and the following quote is my favourite :

" I suppose it is only to be expected. You have my pity. There is no such thing as 'truth' or 'lies' in this world; there never has been. There is only plain, hard facts. And yet, all beings who exist in this world take only those 'facts' that are convenient to them, and take them to be the 'truth'. They do so because they know no other way to live. However, for those powerless beings that make up the majority of this world it is those 'facts' that are inconvenient for their own self-affirmation that make up the real 'truth. "

It's so true that I have to believe in these theories. Former President of USA did said before : A country can never survive without religion ." , he did know that moral values alone can never save his country . But it doesn't means that he believe in god, he want to use it to make( fool) his fellow people not to do bad things , or rather minimize the problems and crime in his country. The cold truth is , religions did save a lot of human lives by minimize crimes happen in this world . I can never imagine what will happen to this world without religion . It's a good things we follow the moral values, even though we all know it's fake , as long as we don't follow it blindly . If someone choose to believe it blindly, than I have to say that a 5 years old child equip with moral values can be a better person than the fellow one , Thank you .

Smile Re: Christianity The Biggest Scam In History?

I think the word "GOD" is important to some but they really don't know what has happened in history.

For example, Why where there so many gods thousand's of years ago?,

why where the pagan gods false, because they said they didn't exist, but no one knows,

i KNOW god didn't exist but Jesus did but he was a human like any other,

3 centuries later a roman emperor called Constantine wrote the bible and called for a meeting with Christians,

the meeting was called "council of nicea" where they voted on all things from the date for easter, Christmas and the immortality of Jesus.

before the meeting Jesus was a jew and a mortal man but after he was like a god because they made him so and now he has been dead for more than 2000 years.

and to you that still believe he exist why has he not stopped all bad things in the world like the two world wars, because HE DOESN'T exist. the only thing i respect about jesus is the ten commandments, which some is against human nature. Read some more history which is really important.


I have got all of this information from Dan Browns book and movie the da vinci code and all information there is/was true.

I think it would be a better world to live in if EVERYONE forgets about religion, because people have been murdered and killed. For example that the knights templar said that they fight in the name of god, their "god" doesn't want anyone dead at all.

2Peter
1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts

The authenticity of the Bible's claim to b the word of the living god can be demostrated by the visions of the Bible prophets

I will be posting related information shortly

Talking Re: Christianity The Biggest Scam In History?

I'm greatly dissapointed with all those who say Christainity is a Scam
ooh yes I am There can never be a house without an owner even if you don't belive in christiannity there must be a suprem being who created us all or do you think human just appered from no way or better still do you agree with the scientis theories of human evulution without any prove come to think of it even if the bible was wriiten by historains as you claim who are more interlligent than we are are the principal not better off Yes we have never seen God or hear him speak to us in person but that is even the more reason we have to keep hoping for if we see God of what help will the hoping be for If the Bible can say there is death and and we have all seen people dieing which means there is a great probability of the rest of the Bible story to be true. I for one I am happy as I'm trying to do what the Bible says even if at the end it tends out that "THERE IS NO GOD" I'll still be happy to have followed Bible principals as a christain don't you think is better off than the way people nowadays do things the world and it's people are becoming very wicken each and everyday and Christainity tries all cost to sharp people's behavoir to change thier way of doing things All those who say Christianity is a big scam are just reaction according to what the Boby tells them and not the sprite ohh yes well as for me I"ll keep trying by all course to please the one who brought me into this earth

According to history, people have been killed for these things, like killing women in middle ages for being witches, but there wasn't any witches. The priests in that time had very much power, and therefore ordered soldiers to capture and burn them, but many of the women were freethinkers and was a threat to the church so they hunted them down and killed them.
By the way Jesus was a ordinary human who was living like we live now he had a job as a carpenter, and he had a wife called Mary Magdalene. The scientists were not so common in the middle ages because many of them was in the Illuminati, like Galileo Galilei who discovered that there is no heaven above the sky, there is space which have many new things that he discovered, but the church didn't like that at all so they tried to destroy every copy of his book that kept the real truth from the people.

P.S The human didn't just come tho the earth just like that, there was evolution from the monkey's who existed 5 millions years ago(NOT the monkeys that lives today) and kept on through evolution to the Homo Sapiens we ALL are today.

they were slaughtered by the vatican because they didn't believe in god, that has nothing to do with christianity thats just foolish.

Bafana said that "Christianity is not a scam because Christianity is the oldest known religion besides ancient paganism. False teachings don't last long and false practices disappear with time."

christianity is not the oldest religion besides paganism, its Judaism but not to that popular today becasue the fucking hitler killed them all.

he also said "False teachings don't last long and false practices disappear with time".
there is no false teaching or right teaching.

What you decide to do every day(every choice you do) decides if you are a good person or a bad person. That has nothing to do with religion it's how you treat people every day that counts.

If the Christian religion is a true religion "Why the hell dose it need an everchangeing written book of stories to sell?" This religion had almost wipedout one liniage of my family and has religiously split other lines. If a religion is FORCED on one from their begining, than it is a FORCE, not WELCOMED, brainwash of what one wants to hear and has questions that are never answered. Many religions have been around for more than the existance of Christianity, it is that Christianity hides its evil spirit by painting the most beautiful pictures of life and scams them all that follow the stories. Christianity also resorts to violance and confinement when people just do not want to follow it, which makes is not only a scam and a cult but a terrorist organization, that has proven itself in history. The only reason that Christians do, what they beleave is good, is to sell/scam their way into haveing more followers and make more profit. The weak follow and do not ask questions. Watch your wallets they will ask more of the followers today. Jesus is not GOD and GOD is not only of writting but of TRUE beleaf. I only beleave in my GOD.

CHRISTIANS JUST TELL FOLLOWERS WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR AND KEEP ON SELLING YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL OF LIFE, WHICH MAKES NO SCENSE AND DOES NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS EITHER, WHICH MAKES THE SALE/SCAM TO FOLLOWERS EASIER FOR YOU. DONATE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR. CHRISTIANITY WILL END THE WORLD.

You can't say God exist. THE ROMANS DID WRITE THE BIBLE FIRST, the true cross that christians call it, it comes from the cross that thousands of people where crucified by romans which later became a symbol of christianity. So no one can confirm that GOD TRULY exists.

If you want to change the way people view religion, you should learn to argue without bias.
All christianity comes down to faith, if you think faith is a scam then let it be. As for the money making, manipulation and other issues you seem to have with the religion I honestly believe they are the least of problems. At least some of the money goes towards missionary work and helping the poor. I agree more of it should, but at least its not funding a MAFIA or world war 3 to say the least...


You know what the biggest problem of religion is? Ignorance. It teaches people to be close minded, every religion teaches that all of the other religions are wrong (a part form buddhism which accepts we all take our own path to enlightenment).

Ignorance is the root of evil, of hatred, of bias. It is irrational and selfish.


You want to change the world. Change ignorance.

I'm not ignorance, i care about the world and everything that live in it.
I have believe in Faith too but, not God who said that he created the earth and everything living creature in it in just a week. Besides it were wrote by romans and in that time the romans tried to take over the world. I have faith in the humans not in god, the humans have lived for about 12.000 years, the humans have created ALL gods. They didn't create us, we created them.
I also think it is very good to helping the poor and homeless, but almost every human don't think that is important, i do but the people that doesn't care all about having money and power to themselves, they don't care that much about others and that is very wrong, as long as they have power and money they are happy and don't care about others, but we are humans we should help those in need, not talking about doing it, but i don't have ANY power or much money, because i'm unemployed.

Everyone should do what they can to help others in the world we live in as much as we can.

Christianity a Scam? Last time I heard it is a religion. A religion where it's god has a good innocent man unmerciful;y tortured to death to pay the price of a law he made so that he can love rotted evil men and take them to heaven with him. What a ugly religion, I must say.

Now the God of Jesus is the God of a second chance. If an evil man will confess his evil and change this God will have mercy on him, forgive the man and cleanse him from all unrighteousness. No unmerciful killing. No blood sacrifice. No religious crap just a second chance if you are willing.

Christianity a Scam? No! Just a SICK religion.

There are many religions in the world but Christianity is the one true religion. Buddha didn't rise from the dead, nor did Confucius or Zoroaster. Muhammad didn't fulfill detailed prophecy. Alexander the Great didn't raise the dead or heal the sick. Jesus fulfilled all prophecies. Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead. Above all, Jesus rose up from the dead.
Christians follow Jesus Christ. Christianity is not just a religion; it is a relationship with God. It is a trusting in Jesus and what He did on the cross (1 Cor. 15:1-4), not on what you can do for yourself (Ephesians 2:8-9). believe in Jesus because Jesus alone is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT.

Christianity is God's own religion. We are the true followers of God. if you don't believe in Jesus then my friend you are lost. It is never too late. Jesus opens up his great arms and welcomes you all. all you gotta do is to accept him as your lord and personal savior. there is no salvation in Islam. Mohammed cannot bring you salvation. This is the time. this is the hour and this is the minute. make very good use of this time you've got less you regret.

Able did not believe in Jesus and he was accepted by God.
Noah did not believe in Jesus and he was accepted by God.
David did not believe in Jesus and he was a man after God's own heart.
Paul says those in every nation that persist in well doing seek for eternal life.
Peter says that in every nation those who fear God and do works of righteousness will be accepted.
Jesus says you must be born again of the spirit for life, not accept him as your lord and personal savior.

Of course there are so many bad things done in the name of religion and these include all religions ( Judiasm, Christianity, Islam, Budism, etc.), just as there are terrible things done in the name of materilism/secluarism, but for the author to make the wild swipe against christianity, and you against Islam as scam is falacious at worst and deceptive at best.

One would have thought that you would deal with the substantive issue as raised in the article and refute the fraud presented as fact in the article, but not blindly through brickbat at other faith. In that case you are no worse than the author.

On the question of Christianity being a scam, the author fails to present us with hard facts rather than uninformed opinion. I don't know how he could argue that Jesus had a bad intent and purpose for the world since he (Jesus) is the author of christianity -that is the prouncement and practice of worship of One God through the examples of Jesus Christ! Was Jesus' conduct and deportment, during his earthly surgeon, any close to being deceptive? This is what the author needs to prove otherwise he himself is a scam artist.!
