In some places it goes directly against Xtianity, as happenned in it's history. Not saying all Catholics aren't Xtian.
In Christianity the only popular figure is Virgin Mary who does not belong to the divine family.

Try to have a conversation with a theologian and you will find out that he has already moved on to a God more spiritual, more remote and more obscure, to a god who is not of our universe (I know the term in Greek but not in English).
My faith is of current theology. Of a God fully involved in this reality right now. Fully rationalised and independant of your irrational materialism.

The son who is the god of love was supposedly a Hebrew but is believed by most Christians (the authors of the gospels included) to have been preaching in Greek.You say that God is a "God of hatred". Yet your source material is by a people who understood their God to be good and just. You are incredibly delusional.

Not even a single word of Christ (supposing that he existed) was saved because of the enormous blunder of translating his words to the then language of the elite: the Greek.I see so this is a racist claim by yourself. You are the master race, I see.
In the name of Christianity many Greek treasures were destroyed. Certainly an anti Christ like act.
