If anything needs reform, it's Christianity. Christianity's number one teaching is to have faith.
Faith is the belief and dependence on a force which you do not actually know is there. Moreover, it not only discourages thinking for yourself, they threaten to send you to hell if you defect from its beliefs.
Pokemon, on the other hand, teaches... OH! That's right, it doesn't TEACH anything! It's a GAME!

Dont dog on Christianity till you actually learn more about it. And we already said this man's views were misguided and wrong and are a bad representation of Christianity.
What you said reminded me of this verse, just thought i would share it with ya.
Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen.
Just something to remind me about faith.
rajlev:
the thing here is that there are some people that are so fanatic with the religion that anithing that is not from the european art, intellect and imagination its an "evil thing" because its not chistian, so i think that maybe its not the religion that has go bacward, its the people, not everybody of course, that do not open their mind to think and that has no tolerance in things that are not of their culture

Dragonball Z taught me that violently fighting people who inform you that you're their sibling is A okay, so I can totally see where this guy is coming from.

Im a Christian, and NO, The bold text is WRONG.
Faith, is beliveing in something. (Force, deity, or other)
However, believing in the sense that you believe it is there. You may not be able to see it, but its there.
Ex. ( I have faith that there is oxygen to breathe. )
Christianity is Historically, and Geographically accurate.
It, in and of itself is based on ten Commands. These are actually made to try make us better people. If one is broken, (Like lying,) you have sinned, (which we all do.)
This is where Jesus comes in, his death happened to release us from our sin. (Sin = BAD.) Like any crime, sin has its own penalty. DEATH. Or... specifically... eternal spiritual torture in the gates of Hell.
Christianity has made me a better person, and I don't wanna know where I would be without it.
