A religion is the theology and moral teachings people believe/follow. But Christians are still going to be subject to sin ultimately, they do need to be forgiven by God for something otherwise the whole idea would be defeated and Jesus didn't die for any good reason and was wasting his time.
Quote:What I find about Christians is not that they're particularly bad, but that they're not particularly good.
That's because they're subject to sin though by right Christianity ought to make you more aware of your asshole nature and so leading to a lessening of this and self improvement, within a human limitation.
Quote:If you get down to particulars though, it's hard to find better human beings than liberal Quakers. A goodly percentage of American Christians don't even consider them fellow Christians, though.
There are Christians who believe in it and Christians who believe in it and really mean it and put the teachings of Christ into practice.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
