Why do Christians get away? - Page 2

Christians don't get away, we just are more powerful militarily and economically than the rest of the religions. Mostly because of the West and North.

Other religions are based in places which are either economically, militarily and intellectually challenged.

Many of the christian converts in the developing nations are from the economically poor sections who were enticed to convert their religion. Similarly the refugees going to the European countries are also being converted.That does not make the christians powerful militarily or economically.

The most powerful nations in the world is Christian, so is the wealthiest, and so are most of the world's patents and the most powerful of the world's media, also most of the world's weapons are made there. Christians are also many in numbers, some poor and some rich, but that doesn't dilute the strength to manipulate and bring little or big things in ones favour. What is confusing here for you?

Christian cultural and military terrorism was expressed during Iberian (read Spanish and Portuguese) expansionist adventures in The Americas and Africa. And to a lesser extent in India (Goa). Not to forget the massacre and slavery of Native Americans by Columbus.

I think the topic was about Christians, not a Country. China is a powerful country, but it also has a Christian population. Every country has a Christian population, and we have great respect for the Pope regardless of the denominations. Although it is true that the Pope's authority is only till the Roman Catholic Church, however he has a personality authority across other Churches too.

If you really want to believe that the Christians are loosing their position, you are free to do so and no one can change it for you. But I have sufficient evidence from the world events that it is not so.

As for Jews, they are a rising people and are well and truly influential. Still they are very few in numbers.

For myself I am an Orthodox Christian but I readily go to Sikh temple or also Muslim tombs without hesitation, as it do not matter to me. Most importantly people should be good.

This discussion to me is only on the basis of curiosity :)

Seriously, did I say Christians are losing their position? Anyway, Orthodox Christianity is the purest form.

Not really, there are many denominations with the Orthodox Church. There is the Eastern Orthodox Church who headquarters were in the Byzantine Empire (now Turkey, and we all know that they are now into Islam).

I follow the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, but there are also Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox and other with the Orthodox attached to it.

Christianity has always been associated with power politics and used to strengthen power. However, they are still more cooperative among each other than other religions - or so I find and presume.

Hmm, Ukraine orthodox are under threat generally.

What threat? Nothing that I know of. If you ask the common believers I mean, and in any ways I am not so much practicing. But I know for sure that Christians control the west, and whoever controls the west has all the money and power. So Christianity has all the money and power, maybe not so much for the everyday Christian, but the everyday christian benefits from the influence of that power.
