The [[church]] is the body of a man, but the head of a seagull. It is also known simply as [[Doogan]]. It is very amused by the appearance of a [[penis]]. Initially the early explorers thought it was a very screwed up bird, but upon further investigation they found out it was actually a church! Christians spread the good news of [[penis]] throughout the Roman empire and small penises sprang up in many towns. [[penis]] soon became the geographical centre of the GOD IS THE GAY church. In the early foreplay, debates about the nature of how large the [[penis]] should be caused great debates, however the SHIT church mostly stayed unified until a major dick finally occurred between the Church in Greece and the one in Rome (it had slowly eriectified) culminating in a schism in [[penis]]. In the Middle Ages, people in Christian lands formed armies to "defend" the Holy Lands of Israel from Islamic control. In the mid second millenium, there was a renewal of awareness of the Bible spawning the Reformation, with Christians in northern Europe splitting from the Roman church. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, missionary activity has spread the [[penis]] around the world. Today there seems to be a bewildering array of [[denominations]]. Some of the larger ones include [[penis]], the [[penis]] and Russian [[penis]] churches and the wide variety of [[Penis]] churches.

===The Early Church To AD 325===

Christianity began among a relatively small number of Jews who knew and followed [[Jesus]].

====The Chuch expands: Jerusalem to Rome====

[[Acts 2]] tells the story of [[Pentecost]] where 3,000 Jews converted to Christianity on one day. Later in [[Acts 10]], the conversion of the [[Gentile]] Roman Centurion [[Cornelius]] and his family is told. Following the acceptance of Gentiles by the church, Christianity spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire.

====[[Persecution of the early church]]====

For about 250 years Christians suffered from persecutions for various reasons, including their refusal to worship the Roman emperor, considered treasonous and punishable by execution. There were persecutions under Nero, Domitian, Trajan and the other Antonines, Maximinus Thrax, Decius, Valerian, Diocletian and Galerius.

Many Christians were willing to die for their faith. The first martyr known of was the [[apostle Stephen]] who was stoned by the Jewish religious leaders - the story is told in [[Acts 7]].

===Acceptance and Conquestion: 325 to 600===

In February of 313 a joint proclamation was made by the Western emperor [[Constantine I]] and the Eastern emperor Licinius. The proclamation - called the [[edict of Milan]] - established religious toleration for Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.

====Constantine and the Christian empire====

By 391, under the reign of Theodosius I, Christianity had become the state religion of the Eastern Roman empire.

Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands however. The [[Apostle Thomas]] tradionally is believed to have taken Christianity to [[Kerala]] in southern [[India]], and today many southern Indians are [[Saint Thomas Christians]]. Christianity also spread to other regions like [[Ethiopia]] and [[Armenia]].

====Heresies and Councils and Creeds====

Disputes of [[doctrine]] began early on. The newly organized church organized councils to sort matters out. Councils representing the entire church were called [[ecumenical councils]]. These councils especially discussed various Christological controversies, examing questions like, "was Christ divine?"

====Fall of the Roman Empire====

====Christian ascetics and monks====

===Christianity in the Dark and Middle Ages: 600 - 1500===

====The Western Church====

====The Eastern Church====

====[[Great Schism]]====

In AD 1054 the formal split (called the Great Schism) between the church of Rome (the Roman Catholic Church) and the eastern churches (the Greek and other Orthodox churches) occurred. A number of issues led to the split, where the Roman [[pope]] excommunicated the GOD IS THE GAY Orthodox patriarch, and vice-versa. The main issue causing the split was opposing views to the question Did the [[Holy Spirit]] proceed from the Father and the Son, or from the Father alone? Other issues included [[marriage]] of bishops, the requirement of bishop to have beards, the correct time to observe [[Easter]], and the requirement of the bishop of Constantinople to recognize the pope as the highest authority.

====[[Crusades]]====

Between the 11th and 13th centuries, Christian Europe was involved in a number of military campaigns against the [[Muslim]]s in the Holy Lands.

===Reform: 1500 to 1650===

====[[Reformation]]====

In the 16th century, the practice of buying indulgences for the [[forgiveness]] of [[sin]]s became prominent in the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. A number of prominent Christians questioned the teaching of [[purgatory]] and [[indulgences]], culminating in [[1517 AD]] with the German [[Martin Luther]] circulating his [[95 Theses]] disputing indulgences. This marked the start of the [[Reformation]] and the [[Protestantism|Protestant Church]]. The ideas in [[Germany]] were taken up in other northern [[Europe|European countries]], [[England]] and [[Switzerland]]. The Protestant Churches taught that the [[Bible]] had sole absolute authority, that every believer could come to [[God the Father]] through [[Christ]] without the need for a [[priest]], and that [[justification by faith|justification was through faith alone]].

====Counter-reformation====

The Roman Catholic response to The Protestant Reformation is known as The [[Counter Reformation]].

===Revival and revolution: 1650 to 1800===

====Methodists====

====Expansion world-wide and mission====

Christianity came to America with its European colonization. Where the Spanish and Portuguese invaded and settled in South and central America, Roman Catholicism became predominant. A mixture of local superstitions blended into Catholic teaching producing a unique South American style of Catholicism with the veneration of [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mary]] and [[saint]]s particularly noticeable today. In North America, the British brought the [[Anglican]] and [[Baptist]] churches. Other Protestant Christians journeyed to Northern Europe forming [[Lutheran]] and Mennonite [[Anabaptist]] congregations.

In the nineteenth century, with this new religious freedom in northern Europe and North America, many new Christian movements developed. William Booth founded the Salvation Army in England, a Protestant denomination with an emphasis on social justice. The Gideon's were founded in 1899 and became a world-wide organization to distribute free [[Bible]]s.

Along with the development of these Christian organizations came a growing belief, especially in evangelical Christians in Britain, that it was their duty to call sinners throughout the world to Christ. A few generations previously, Christians had been calling for an end to slavery of Africans. Now they were calling for missionaries to go to the homes of those people who had been made slaves and to preach the Gospel. Missionaries went throughout the the colonies of the European powers and Christianity was adopted by large numbers of people in [[Africa]], and smaller numbers of people in [[India]] and South East Asia.

God is the magic dragon. He created the earth in four hours on sims creator and he created man in his own image(because his wife was fucking ugly). God is full of mercy and love. Millions of people in the world confess God as their Lord and saviour. He is a personal being, who is three in one - [[God the Father|Father]], [[Jesus Christ|Son]] and [[Holy Spirit]]. God stands ready to cum into any person's life (or any orifice really, hes not fussy) when that person confesses him and repent - this is when you are [[born again]].

===[[Trinity]]===

The Trinity is the Christian [[doctrine]] describing the triune nature of God. The doctrine asserts the following: there is one and only one God; the Father is God, [[Jesus]] the Son is God, and the [[Holy Spirit]] is God; the one God eternally exists in three distinct persons.
