I'm interested in hearing more about this. What is it that you suggest we do with rational christianity, as you define it? Of what use is it? Why would I want to embrace it?
I really don't get it either. You would have to follow a bunch of strict rules that you would only want to follow to avoid hell, whilst not believing in hell. (And don't anyone say those 'rules' are morals. Morals are important, but many christian rules outline a poor moral framework.)
