Dear NK,
I hope you enjoyed your stay here.

Personally I was raised by devout parents as a Christian but I later decided that I didn't want to be a part of organized religion.

If you look at history, had the Roman Empire not adopted Christianity, it surely would have died out as did many other fanatical Jewish sects did. In fact, you will note that it wasn't until over 200-300 years after Christ's death that people began to use the word "Christian" and distinguish followers of Christ from Jews. The original Christians followed every Jewish law "to the T", including holding a sabbath on Saturday (Jewish Sabbath) AND Sunday (the day the music died).

The music, of course, refers to Christ or Buddy Holly. Take your pick.

You are always welcome here.

>Mr. Parhad, You are like a horse with blinders on. At some point in your life you decided that the Jews, Jesus Christ and Christianity are the cause of mankind's troubles. Once you made that decision, you put those blinders on and now you view everything through your anti-Christian lenses, refusing to even look objectively at the smallest bits of evidence that would contradict your bias. Jews For Jesus? How about, Parhad For The Negation of Reality? You live in a virtual world of your own making where there are only two types of people: The Bad Guys = Christians and the Good Guys = anti-Christians. When you talk about plain ordinary human beings who, at some point in their lives, decided to follow Christ, whatever stripe of Christian they may have chosen to become; it is precisely at that point that you ceased to see them as human beings anymore. You are doing exactly what you accuse the Jews, Jesus Christ and His followers of doing. And it is precisely this type of thinking that will lead to a future Holocaust of Christians, that will dwarf any previous Holocaust in the annals of human history.

Only this time they’ll add another patch with the Cross emblazoned on it. I wonder why this principle of bad examples, scandalizing an entire group or institution, only applies to Jews and Christians. Why is everyone else exempt? Am I missing something here? Applying your logic whenever someone chooses to become anything, in addition to being a human being, for example, a sculptor, a lawyer, a politician, a Mason, a Rosicrucian and then goes off on society and becomes your next local mass murderer, that group of which he is a member will become responsible for all of the world’s ills. When did they cease to be individuals capable of thinking and acting on their own? When did they relinquish their personal responsibility for their actions?

> You pride yourself on having an open Forum here, where everyone can freely express their opinions on a topic like this without being censored or banned, but if that is true and if you are correct about Christianity and if Christians still have the upper hand, then where are they? I seem to be the only one expressing a favorable opinion about Christianity on this Forum. Yeah, I'm the bad guy, Mr. Assyrian-Christian-Punk-Kid. I'm the mean-spirited, stupid, idiot, infantile jerk. You're the only one with the right answers. When you brand someone wrong, they don't simply get a number tattooed on their arm or wear a patch with a Star of David or a Cross, they get the Whole Enchilada, the Whole Shebang. There’s no balance in your viewpoint, Mr. Parhad. You don’t want a civil exhange of views. You just want a sounding board for all of your vile hatred against Christians. It reminds me so much of Mr. Adolph Shickelgruber, who renounced the path of Christ, to later gravitate as an adult in Vienna, to that pus-filled center of anti-Semitism, where he became imbued with the media’s portrayal of Jews as scapegoats with stereotyped attributes. He always had a choice and he finally made a decision that turned him into a monster filled with a lust for power and revenge on humanity. A humanity that failed to live up to his expectations. A humanity, that failed to fit into his global vision for mankind. He didn’t get it either, even when everyone around him, his closest subordinates, finally did.

> It isn’t the Jews or Jesus Christ, or the Church or Christians that are the enemies of mankind, Mr. Parhad. It’s just ordinary individual human beings like you and I, who plod through each day, hoping to see another tomorrow, who along the way are trying to learn what it’s all about. Yeah, I know, I’m just a kid. What does a kid know? I’m just a stupid Christian Kid, unworthy to call myself an Assyrian. You’re right, Mr. Parhad, I don’t have the answers, but that’s where you and I part company… I know I don’t have all the answers. If I did, then I guess I’d be God. What does that make you then?

> Well, maybe you’re right. Maybe after you stamp out the last Jew and the last Christian you’ll have a perfect world. Good luck to you, Mr. Parhad. I think I’ve learned all I need to or want to on this Forum. Thanks anyway for listening.
