             The Christian religion, like all other religions has its strengths and
             weaknesses in our modern society. Perhaps the strengths out weight the
             weaknesses as this is one of the largest religions in the world. Hundreds
             of people follow the Catholic/Christian religion yet still a greater number
             follow yet other religions. Perhaps this is because they see the
             weaknesses or perhaps it is simply because their parents have taught them
             that it is a sin to follow this religion.
             The Christian religions do however present much more of an appealing
             atmosphere than such other religions which are as large as the Christian.

             without guilt.
             Christianity, like other religions though, has many weaknesses.
             Although as time goes on, Christianity is slowly evolving and trying to
             become even more appealing to society, there are still many downfalls. One
             thing with Christianity is that from day one we are given a guilt trip. We
             are born evil. We are born with "the original sin". We are at the mercy
             of God. If we beg forgiveness however, it shall be granted. My
