What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

[downbeatplumb]

After reading this thread it is most obvious that the atheist here have no idea what Christianity means. It's surprising how little the ones who claim they were Christians and then left the faith actually know or remember. This is why I've always challenged them to prove their claim and I will always maintain that challenge. You all do not have nor get the right to rewrite the Christian faith and whether you want to believe it or not God will never allow such a rewriting of His loving plan for mankind. It really is to bad you have glued those blinders over your eyes, it will be truly sad if you miss out on Paradise.

Christians believe what  they want to believe generally.
But in the US for some reason, christianity has become a mixture of hateful bigoted ideologies that seek to oppress and impose. They seem to be getting more extreme and anti-intellectual by the day.
Rather strange, as the typical british Christians are rather nicer.
