But the correctness is not disputed, right?

Yes and we all know who would dispute it, don't we?

Chico - If god exists, why does he murder his worshippers when it is against his own written word?

May I Chico:
Pah you prove your ignorance by the stupidity of your question! Atheist idiot!
His own written word is for the benefit of mankind.
God is all powerful and none may understand his purpose save him.

Which religion is right for you?

You scored as agnosticism.

I'm a satanist apparently, closely followed by agnostic...

Religious societies are MORE dysfunctional

Slightly off topic, but from looking at Christian websites you always find the simplistic notion by the godly that more Christian values will lead to a better society. In fact if you look at religious belief and violence/promiscuity etc. in various societies you can soon see there is no correlation at all. Religion on its own solves none of society's problems. A more traditional conservative society with religion as a part of that, maybe.

PS Chico. I know I am wasting my time as usual, but what are these facts? If you can give them why don't you?

Actually there is a NEGATIVE correlation.

Modern Scandinavia and Japan are the most secular societies in the world and have relatively low levels of crime and other dysfunction.
Not surprising, as non-religious societies are more rational and evolved.
Actually Chico why don't you move to the American mid-West. You could buy a gun to defend yourself from your fellow Christians.
