I do not like calling christianity a religion, because of what it implies, and the stereotypes that are automatically put onto christians. What I should have said is that I have a problem with modern day organized religion, and the common christian's religiosity. I follow what the bible says, not some hierarchy of priests, bishops, etc. Man has transformed the christian religion and has really changed it since biblical times. Hope I explained myself better
But why be a follower of Christ? Why be a follwer of the Bible whos gerneral moral code is down right insane? I mean yes there are a few things like love thy niegbor and do not kill, but how many other prophets have said the same thing? Jesus wasnt the only one that has apperntly done miracles. Buddha has said alot of the same famous things, and Buddhism is thousands of years older then Christianity. So Christianty isnt anything original.

For Man to move forward we must throw away religion, and put it in the Mythology section, and then use Reason, Logic, and Common sense to solve all our daily problems. That's a Higher Level of Thinking.
