Problems with Christian Church

[The Valkyrie]

I have a few questions regarding your perspectives on the church and Christianity..

**What are the big problems/issues you see in the Christian church today?

**Is your perspective of the former question from the inside (ie, your background was in church) or that of an outsider looking in? What took you away from church, if your background was church?

**What do you think about the person Jesus Christ? Is he real, historical person? Faked?

**What is the point or purpose in your life? What do you live for?

I'm especially interested in your responses to the first question!!

1.  In many cases unwavering dogma which refuses to change even when given evidence to the contrary.  For example I've encountered many theists who have stated that they will never change their minds even if they are proven incorrect and there's no doubt that they're wrong.

2.  He may have existed in the form of an itinerant, wandering rabbi who was killed for shaking up the status quo and the stories grew up around him.  He may also have been an amalgam of several figures.  I haven't made up my mind which of those I believe.

3.  Biologically my purpose is to reproduce and make more little people.  My own, self given, purpose is to live my life as they best person I can be and to help others when I can.
