"I know that there is a general negativity hear towards Christian beliefs."
Lord, they are not praying to the Lord!
I think Christianity fully deserves its bad reputation. The propensity of Christian societies to organize themselves into three social classes, the Lords, the Clergy, and the Serfs, has much to do with it. It took a lot of bloodshed in France and then in Russia to get rid of that social structure (as well as in America).
Actually, the Americans got rid of the (British) Lords, but kept praying to the Lord...
Anybody praying to a Lord is a Serf asking for the Lords to come back.
If you are monotheist, why don't you try Judaism or Islam? At least you won't promote Lordism by endorsing the completely ridiculous idea that the creator of the universe would have family members.
Rulers do not respect the people and the people do not respect the ruler for any other fundamental reason than fear.
The fact that politicians ignore the people is because they know they will only protest and nothing else. And crushing protests is just needed to instill fear. The only solution is to fight with equal weapons. That is, to count the guns on the other side, and match or over-match the tally.
What's more, most soldiers are just in the army because they get fed and somewhat paid. However, they are never paid enough to die to defend the elite. Most of them are not part of it, anyway.
Therefore, the tally to match is actually not that high. It is usually seriously overestimated.
What matters much more, is the determination to do what needs to be done.
Won't work. The arguments must necessarily be more "convincing" than just protest marches or strikes.
The difficult part is not in identifying the problem and then get rid of elite that causes them. All revolutions on were surely right on that point: the French, the American, and the Russian revolution managed to wipe out the elites that needed to be wiped out.
It is on the "What next" question where revolutions tend to fail.
>>> Be your own prophet.
That is not feasible, because Mohammed is the LAST prophet.
>>> Then maybe you can lose your hate for people who think differently than you do, and stop waging wars.
Come on, Lordist. "Lord, they are not praying to the Lord!". Who is trying to enslave everybody? Even Chavez and the other South Americans will have to join forces with us. Actually, Islam will eventually unite all your enemies, including your own lower classes. You're gonna lose, slaver.
>>> If your religion leads you to create war and hate, hmmmm, maybe something is amiss somewhere in the description of that religion that you have been accepting?
We are the slaves of Allah, and therefore, we cannot be the slaves of anybody else. Freedom is the most precious gift from the Almighty, and we will fight till the end against the lordists.
>>> A religion is not truly a religion unless it has the capacity to love, even love that which it rejects.
There is only one God, and He has no family: no aunts, no uncles, no wife, no brothers, no sisters, no daughters, and certainly no sons.
And I don't like that Jesus, the bastard son of that Jewish whore, that you are referring to. Who the hell is his father anyway?
Allah has made all the laws already. There are no other laws, besides the laws of Allah. The few things that Allah has forbidden, you may not do. Otherwise, you are free to do as you please. These so-called patents do not stem from the will of Allah. They just try to favour one group of persons over another as to enslave them some more.
These so-called patents therefore violate the will of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, the Most Equitable, who has endowed us with the complete freedom to do anything we wish, unless He not has explicitly forbidden it.
The Holy War has now become inevitable, and the Almighty Allah expects every man to do his duty.
Allah Akbar!
How can anybody be enslaved, if he is already the slave of God? Bow as deep as you can for Allah, so that you cannot bow deeper for anybody else.
Besides the few things that Allah has forbidden, you are free to do as you please.
Join the Holy War. Allah demands that we exterminate anybody who tries to take away the freedom that Allah, the Most Beneficient, the Most Compassionate, has endowed us with.

Allah Akbar!
That what God has forbidden, is unlawful to us. Anything else is lawful. Any law in excess of the laws of Allah, invariably attempts to favour one group of persons, such as the RIAA and its backers, over another. Any such excess law is unlawful and attempts to enslave us, and the Prophet insists that that every man must do his duty, take up arms, fight the Holy War, and thorougly exterminate the enslavers. Allah Akbar!
