Why is Christianity the only religion...?

Marketing.

I have no idea what you are talking about. You mean selling crucifixes in a religious goods store ? Advertise ? I've been a Catholic for ages and can't connect what you are saying to anything.

You would seem to be indicating that Catholics are very holy and interested in spiritual things but that can't be. Few Catholics go in for religious goods.

Some of the Bible was over-written by the Romans and other people, who could not control their people. By introducing belief, they can manipulate the people as easy as saying: "God wanted you to do this..." so the people think its a command from God and they rush off to do it. Like the Arabs with their Koraan. Their god Allah told them to go suicide-bombing the Trade center, so they did. Its all about control over the people. (Coz you can only control people with fear, religion or money) go figure.

Maybe they're just about the money. Do other religions have a collection plate for money that goes around the so called house of god?

Satan deceived so many people and He really want to let people be with Him in the Lake of fire so even in the "idols" or created things he want people to worship Him...

read your bible on Exodus 23:5

There is only 1 God therefore it only makes sense that there is only 1 true religion. He is a God of organization not disorganization.

i have never heard of this i am a christian all i could care about is god i do not worry about anything else not even christianity selling symbols.

Jesus did not die on a crux (cross), but on a stauros (stake).

X was used first as it is the first Greek letter of the word Christ. The custom of kissing the cross by Roman Catholics is where signing your letters with XXX for kisses originated.

X with a P (Chi Rho) superimposed on it, is what Constantine saw in a vision. X with l stake through it was also used as a symbol...plus the one (lung cancer symbol) t with an extra - at top. They are all brands of different pagan gods such as the Egyptian healing god Aesculpius and others. t or tau is for Tammuz.

Christian references commonly state Jesus was killed on a stake or single pale or pole.

There are many Hebrew and Greek references and interlinears available

to preachers and seminary students and often to ordinary lay people as

well....especially on the internet where they can be used free of charge.

Hard copy (books) may cost dozens or hundreds of your dollars.

The origins of cross and trinity are commonly known to preachers. You

can view these materials for yourself. I'll provide links: This may take

2 of these messages as they can only be so long.

A1. Cross, Crucify [Noun]

stauros denotes, primarily, "an upright pale or stake." On such malefactors were nailed for execution. Both the noun and the verb stauroo, "to fasten to a stake or pale," are originally to be distinguished from the ecclesiastical form of a two beamed "cross." The shape of the latter had its origin in ancient Chaldea, and was used as the symbol of the god Tammuz (being in the shape of the mystic Tau, the initial of his name) in that country and in adjacent lands, including Egypt. By the middle of the 3rd cent. A.D. the churches had either departed from, or had travestied, certain doctrines of the Christian faith. In order to increase the prestige of the apostate ecclesiastical system pagans were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols. Hence the Tau or T, in its most frequent form, with the cross-piece lowered, was adopted to stand for the "cross" of Christ.

As for the Chi, or X, which Constantine declared he had seen in a vision leading him to champion the Christian faith, that letter was the initial of the word "Christ" and had nothing to do with "the Cross" (for xulon, "a timber beam, a tree," as used for the stauros, see under TREE).
