I dont classify myself as one religion over all. But Christianity basically comes from Judaism, however Christians believe the mesiah has already come 2000 years ago (Jesus Christ). That is the the basis of their belief. The bible is not 100% Christian though, so the story of Noah your referencing to is also recognised in Judaism from which Christianity is a sect of and all other religions that use the bible as their ..instructions manual if you will. Btw, I think youll find that god erased all life on earth because they became dissident and started turning against him, sort of like a devine retrobution. Christians believe in their religion though, because it gives them hope for salvation, it gives people a purpose in life as with all religions and in a time like the one were facing now, thats exactly what people need..

What really bugs me out though, is that the more I read into religions, the more similaritys I start to find. My currant belief is that all religion is a different translation of the same thing given to man in different ways to suit the different cultures, languages and types of followers. Therefore religious traditions and ideals are mostly irrelevant to me. If you look at Hinduism, they have 3 gods, one all powerful god (Brahman), and two lesser gods (if gods is what you choose to call them). I believe that in terms you would understand, Brahman is god, Vishnu would represent the holy spirit as it is the force that keeps the world going, and Shiva represents, in a way, Satan because Shiva is the destruction of man kind. I think when it all comes down to it, all religions have truth behind them and their followers are usually adamant that their religion is the real one. But in no bible, Quran or any other religious text, does it reference another religion by name and say not to believe it.

But anyway, I answered your question in the first paragraph more or less so I'm not gonna keep babbling on about shit.. One last thing though relating to your creation question right at the top of your post, whos to say god didnt place the first cells in a pool of water as seeds that would eventually grow into larger organisms, who was there to be able to prove me wrong when I say, Adam and Eve could very well have been apes...........? Theres explenations for everything if your not too ignorant to see it.

BTW..........get on msn more regularily fool... We got tracks to make..
