Whats so offensive about Christianity

[Faith No More]

I don't know what road this thread has taken(I don't have the stomach for another thirteen pages of Drich inspired conversation), but as the OP pointed out, it's important to separate the message from the messenger. Now, the messengers in this case can be about as offensive as humanly possible, but I've heard a lot of people claim that the message itself is something to be revered. I agree that there can be some decent lessons in Christianity, but you have to milk the bible really hard to get to them. The problem lies in the fact that the true message of Christianity is to lower your intellectual standards and to not rigorously try to understand whether or not the whole concept makes sense or not. No good can ever come from that that couldn't also be achieved with higher standards. Christianity sets the bar so low and then attempts to present that as acceptable. That is what I find offensive.
