Christianity (big "C") God's effort to free us from religion.

Small 'c' christianity is just another religion.

Do you not feel even a little embarrassed saying things like this to adults? It made me cringe just reading it.

Christianity. = a rorschach test, a mimic which samples what it's proponent believes then feeds those beliefs back to that person suffused in a divine glow, amplifying their natural tendencies.

That's a good one, but you went all Lance Armstrong on us and didn't play by the rules.Tongue

Faulty logic and a misrepresentation of reality. I've not seen a better representation of Christianity than the above.

In 15 words or less, your description of Christianity (or religion in general)

Bullshit, full of lies, sad to think i used to believe in it
