People tend to believe that religion is the cause for bad things, but they're wrong. It's the people who do bad things because they misunderstand their religion.

Only 3 forms of Christianity exist. Only 1 can be true. They are a) God alone saves sinners. b) sinners save themselves with God's help. and c) sinners alone save themselves without God's help.

That religion exists to answer questions (such as how the Earth came to be, etc.)

Some say the Christian faith promotes seemingly Bible justified bigotry, but it's not the role, as I said in another thread, for the good to punish the bad. God simply allows the bad to punish the bad.

I don't think Unitarians understand the bible based on those I've exposed in other forums.

There is a big debate on meaning of "eternal" and two sides cannot be right.
