Untrue. I know many Christians who disagree with my beliefs, but that partake in every activity I partake in. They drink alcohol, attend R-rated movies, listen to heavy rock music (not the christian bands either), they do all the regular things that I do and they have great faith in their silly god. They are every bit the True Christian that you profess to be. Clearly, I would have to give up very little to subscribe to christianity as I am not a thief, a glutton, a pedophile or a philanderer. In fact, near as I can tell, the only sin I'm regularly guilty of is blasphemy.
The reason I don't accept your god has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with giving up my current activities. It has everything to do with the fact that it is really really really really stupid.
