If you believe that 2000 years of Christianity has brought peace,
brotherhood and happiness then you are ignorant of history.
Or if Islam is a religion of peace why are Sunni Muslims & Shiite
Muslims
slaughter and torture each other by the tens of thousands?
Reason and Science or Religion and superstition?
All religions are based on "belief" not "facts".
Things like "heaven" ,"72 virgins", "Garden of Eden with a talking
snake","Angels","Ghosts","Noah's Ark"...

mighty weapon to overcome this opposition.
Today, an opposite heresy has gained a foothold in Christendom, with echoes
heard even among some Seventh-day Adventists. In correctly extolling the
Scriptures as the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, there are some
