Guessing at #4
Hindu?

Canadian and European Christians are NOT your HOUSE. I think that is why he is telling you to use the phrase American Christians.

I must have missed the memo that Christanity is only corrupted within the United States and once someone leaves the country they learn the true message of Jesus.

[mrveggieman]

What is your 3rd of the "Big 3" ??

Remember, 2 of the "Big 4" have more adherents than your first Big 2.

That may be true but why is it we only hear about the most of the world's religious conflict from Islam, Christanity and Judiasm aka the Big 3.

The World's 4 largest Religions are:

Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. I was trying to establish who Veggie's Big 3 are.

Wow.
You really think saying it twice makes it relevant? No Canadian is "in your house". No is any other non American. If you're going to include Canada, why not Mexico? If you're going to include Europe, why not Africa or the Middle East?

Please, until you've cleaned up your own house, stay out of mine. Complain about American Christians and American Christians ONLY.
Unless you're really ignoring the rest of the world because it doesn't fall into your narrow, America-centric view of things. If that's the case, please, continue to be an open hypocrite.

Why do you only hear about the 3? Well two of them, Islam and Chrisitanity have killed millions in the conquest for indoctrination to their own cause.

Your 3rd Religion, Judaism has been the historical victim of your first 2.

Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism do not have diabolical intent of conversion at all cost like Islam and Christianity do.


Ask yourself this? When was the last time a Buddhist, a Jew, or a Hindu knocked on your door and wanted to straighten out your life?

Christianity and Islam are religions with a conversion mandate, the others are not.

While this is true of the practice of most Christian religions, it's not really true of Christian belief itself. The mandate is simply to spread the word and make sure everyone hears it. From there, it's up to those people. The idea of conversion, while very real in practice, does not exist within Christian teachings.

[Wickabee]

Ha! No response he move on.

Faith in a God I can understand. Faith in any religion just baffles me to no end.

I am using this for a bumper sticker...great post!

...and the problem in any religion is when the dogma gets in the way of the karma. As many people do, they get wrapped up in the RULES and not the REASONS driving the rules. Why? Becasue it is easier to be a rule follower. It takes less effort. I can imagine that the higher powers are just totally facepalming at the people who are considered fundamentalist in their pantheons. Any of the great philosophers who started religions probably did NOT come up with the rules that their followers follow.
