Where are the "anti-Buddha churches?" Those that reverse the symbolism of Buddha on purpose to mock it and make up faux Buddhist texts that would correlate to the Satanists Bible?

You don't need to be exact opposites to disagree.
Example: Christianity vs. Islam, Tibet, etc.

spoken word is retold far more accurately 2000 years ago.

Assuming you mean that misinterpretations, misunderstandings, the "telephone game" effect, etc. occurred less often / were not as great: I doubt that, but still: even if spoken word is retold more accurately to others, that doesn't mean that that spoken word is correct, it just means that it's retold without changes.
Which I doubt.


When will more people get the word out about how this "telephone" game trueism has been disproven with regard to Sacred Scripture?

You mean the idea that there's mistranslations and such with the book / scripture / written word over the years? Because she, as far as I can tell, and I were talking about spoken word.


Not sure, but I think there are living examples of tribal people whose oral tradition is impeccably remembered, such as the "singing" of the Aboriginees of Australia. If they got their songs wrongly they could literally die in the wasteland.

Religions arise independantly, it is true. But I am saying where is the huge outcry against any particular religious belief in the west that is more pointed that against Christianity? Where are the black sabbath churches that make fun of other religions las Christianity is mocked?

Christianity is the most prevalent in America, (and in Europe, I've heard / read / etc. ) so it gets more attention. If some other religion had about 75% in America, I'm sure there would be parodies and mockeries of it instead.

Still playin' Torchlight. It's still addicting.

It's almost Christmas, and there's a thunderstorm.
Something is seriously WRONG here.
 
Not real Christianity to say your christian is like a default position here.

I found this terrible quote from a discussion on an anti-Christian film.

"But unless you can produce some positive evidence that Jesus never existed, the logical conclusion is that he did"

It's this sort of failed logic that makes me sad for society.

If I said unless someone can produce evidence that a psychotic pink duck that rules the world from a cloud in the sky, I don't think people would agree in an enthusiastic chorus that it's seems logical to conclude that it exist.

You should have specified which god/deity you were talking about. I'm guessing the Judeo-Christian one.

Oh, and you can't spell.

Come on. Just because its used does not mean that its boring.
     
Death is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more step than there actually is. Your foot falls down through the air and there is a sickly moment of dark suprise as you readjust the way you thought things were.

That is actually not true. Christians believe in the Bible and Trinity to be their proof. Atheists have merely claimed that this proof is invalid (considering it isn't supported by any other proof) and somewhat have a right to do so. Nevertheless, you cannot go around simply claiming that "Christians have no proof". Absence of evidence =/= evidence of absence.

NO.
He simply is the one who created this thread and is different form being a God.
