Being Christian isn't just about believing in a god. It's a small part. It gives you a moral compass and makes being good easier because there's someone helping you along the way. I personally don't believe in a god as such but there's some good lessons to be learned by combining christian teachings with common sense and adapting it to a spiritual progression as you go through life. Spiritual = NOT religious in the classical media impossed version of "religion".

 

Ricky simplifies it way too much, but if it works for him then that's great. If you want to do the best and do it the easiest way it's worth looking into some philosophy based christan books, you don't have to believe in god to get a lot from them and actually understand that the negative press about Christianity is not the true core of it, it's simply what the vast majority follow. You know, the useless old farts who go on a sunday when they retire, THAT is not religion and they are a stain on the whole idea.

 

Don't even get me started on islam. That's simply disgusting and abhorent in nearly all ways, from it's core to it's people. I'm not just being racist, after doing a fair bit of reading on it. It's a religion that is doomed to destruction by it's own doing.

 

Crikey I sound religious and I'm 100% not though.

IMO that is double-standards...

True, but what's wrong with double standards, in this context at least. I've had a go at Christianity too. Buddhism (bad spelling I'm sure), would be most appropriate for the common person wishing to lead a "good" life I spose, I haven't researched it enough and live in the UK not many people who can share their untarnished insight here.
