Everything else falls under the attonement in which Christianity is based.
1. I cannot love a being where no reciprocation of love is evident due to the fact that there is no evidence for the being's existence.
2. Loving myself would be considered sinful pride. If I cannot love myself, then I cannot love my neighbor as I would love myself.
1. What makes you think that is the case here? Oh, is it because God didnot love you the way you've demanded to be loved?
2. Greatest commands sport. Love God with everything, then your neighbor as your self..
You can't love yourself more than God or your neighbor more than yourself, meaning it is not a sin to love self.

What if i told you that biblical Christianity is not a religion based on rules, and a strict guideline of following rules??
What if Christianity as God intended was based soley off of two rules. To Love God with all of your being and to love your neighbor as yourself...

This would mean that it is far more important to worship God in a way true to your unique gifts and capasities rather than following one set of rules.
With the Jews God gave them one set of rules. For some, the rules were so hard they fail to follow them correctly.. For others the rules were so easy they became hypocritical in their worship.
So the Fix Jesus put in place, commands that we simply do our best. Now because we are all different, our best will look different.. How different? well according to your numbers 30 or 40K kinds of different.
Because it is a far greater sin for one to go through the motions of worship, than for one to seek out like minded brothers and worship in a way consistant with the limits of what God gave them.
If all this crap was correct, then all your prior insistence on Biblical Christianity is bullshit.
How so?
