Christianity has been major force for about 2,000 years, beginning with the birth of its leader, and it is claimed that its foundation teachings are based on the life of Jesus Christ himself, and on Gods revealed knowledge made known through the early holy men.
It is now estimated that this powerful religion has over 2 billion people and many of the richest nations who profess to belong to it, therefore, mainstream Christianity, which has proclaimed itself to be the light of the world, and the path of life, is the most reprehensible for the state that mankind finds itself in today.
It is interesting to note that it is these Christian lands in general, that have enjoyed the fruits of the industrial revolution, and it is those very ones who have collectively polluted our beautiful earth, and are a prime example of wastefulness, and planetary disrespect, in the eyes of other religions.
For a religion that claims to be the "Way" it is disheartening that most of its present day leaders have done precious little to direct its adherents in "Ways" of becoming wise stewards of the planet, even though this was in fact the founding philosophy behind the creation of humans in the first place, as stated in Bible book of Genesis.

This one book has given rise to a diversity of cults which has resulted in intense confusion concerning our duty toward our animal brothers. Its a wake up call to Christianity to start to live with the compassion and clarity of its founder, for such is the debasement of its present teachings that even the called "ancient pagan gods" have found lodging and immortality within its halls by way of adoption of their symbols, icons, doctrines celebrations and practices, many of which can still be clearly seen within the daily life of the Christian Church.
Ritual Slaughter and Sacrifice
Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, and ritual animal sacrifice in the religion of the Israelites was part of their everyday life at the temple, and some Christian denominations believe that it is something that will resume again with the return of Jesus Christ, however the stand that Jesus had on the ritual slaughter of animals is clearly seen in that he is recorded as not encouraging, but rebuking those selling the animals for sacrifice in the Temple. His final thoughts on the matter were seen when he drove the innocent beasts out from that place of torment and away from the terror that had awaited them. Certainly Jesus never taught that the of death sentient animals was in any way pleasing to God!. ( John 2:13-16 )
The Devil Within Us!
Christians have been called the most hypocritical religion ever created, “for we alone are truly merciless” yet we bow down with enviable piety in our Churches and other places of worship, and parrot off with the greatest earnestness and humility, even “singing like the angels” such sentiments as this: “Be merciful to me Lord, for I am a Sinner“, but how can we possibly deserve such mercy if we deny such mercy to others and consign them to a “Merciless-Living-Hell?”...
Biblical dietary advice was meant for people who existed 2-6000 years ago, yet we still eat like the very savages God was addressing, most Christians have failed to use the mercy we are capable of.
“The Devil within us!” becomes manifest when without necessity humans cause other creatures to suffer the anxiety and pain of being beaten and booted en-mass into abattoirs, only to be the seized with uncontrollable terror and trembling as they become acutely conscious of their imminent death. Our purportedly God fearing nation continues to “scrupulously deny other creatures the Godly quality of Mercy” that Christians dearly crave for themselves, and which they are commanded to confer upon others,“ yet most of mankind feel they must satisfy at all costs their unnecessary and unhealthy lust for flesh“.
We have enslaved the rest of creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form!
WILLIAM RALPH INGE Anglican prelate, and professor of divinity at Cambridge.
Could it be that most Christians are unwittingly proving to be a stumbling block to the establishment of earth wide peace, and are they in fact proving much more the servants of the Devil than disciples of Christ? “I wonder!”
Lord, Lord! “IN YOUR NAME” we drove out many demons and performed many miracles! Then he ( Christ ) will say to them, I never knew you, Get away from me you wicked people! <Such ones will not enter the Kingdom of the Heavens>Matt 7:21,22,23 THE GOOD NEWS BIBLE
Those who are riddled with guilt are often heard to say “you have no right to judge me” as they hide behind a smoke screen of pompous biblical self justification and a furtive play on words, but each will prove what each one is “by their works“!
If you are a Christian are you truly trying your best to live at peace with all creation, as you would envisage you would do in that very “Paradise” that you would hope to inherit!, if not there is no time like the present to start!
For those seeking a spiritual path in life avoid the hypocrites who claim to embrace Compassion, Kindness and Mercy, yet who unnecessarily feast on the misery of other beings, theirs is “not” the true spirit of Christianity, for the 21st century!
Prove your Love!
What a powerful force for good, Christianity should be, for spreading compassion and establishing the global harmony that the founder himself envisioned and promoted with his very blood, sweat, and tears, indeed within the original teachings are everything necessary to create a truly compassionate world.
Two of the greatest life principles that are extolled within the teachings of Jesus Christ are "Love and Compassion", however, these are qualities that have often been muted in history by many corrupt religious leaders, to satisfy the political whims of those who wield the governmental oversight, and authority.
If professed Christians take up the cause, and also promote from their podiums and pulpits, environmental respect, social harmony and fine stewardship toward the planet, we may yet be able to right some of the ecological sins, and other wrongs commited against our beautiful earth.
Many believe this can only be achieved by universally embracing the spirit of the "Golden Rule of Jesus Christ"

THE GOLDEN RULE
In everything, do for others what you would have them to do for you,
for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:12 New International Version
By way of his sacrificial death, Jesus became the Lamb of God, abolishing Animal Sacrifice.
By their fruits, True Christians are known. Matthew 7:20
Can anyone really take a religion seriously, that professes to be genuinely Christian, but condones the unecessary slaughter in this day and age, of what we now understand to be sentient creatures, "fellow living beings", often just for the lust and for the taste?. Why do professed "Enlightened Christians" so often shut the door on tender compassion, on other creatures, who can experience terror, pain, and suffering just as we can, arent these the very things they are supposed to hate and should not cause to another?
Consider carefully the following principles from the teachings of Jesus and the early apostles, which the faithful followers of Christianity are supposed to observe.
Judgement without mercy, will be rendered to anyone who has not shown mercy. James 2:12
Little children, let us love, neither in word nor with the tongue, but in deed and truth. 1st John 3:18
Let your love be without hypocrisy. Romans 12:9
If you love me you will observe my commandments.John 14:15
Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the mild tempered since they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
Let all your affairs take place with love. Romans 16:14
Therefore, become imitators of God, as beloved children, and go on walking in love. Ephesians 5:1,2
And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works. Hebrews 10:24
May mercy and peace and love be increased to YOU. Jude:2
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become a sounding [piece of] brass or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophesying and am acquainted with all the sacred secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all the faith so as to transplant mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my belongings to feed others, and if I hand over my body, that I may boast, but do not have love, I am not profited at all. 1st Corinthians 13:1-3
The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Galatians 5:22,23
Those who without necessity try to justify the slaughter of any living being in their behalf, are certainly not measuring up to the standard of "Christs Golden Rule" and how can such a person really be displaying the above "Fruitage of the Spirit.
