I believe in simplicity,Darwinian.The teachings of Jesus are simple,and that to me is christianity.Jesus isn't even in the bible much,most of it is just ancient stuff which means nothing to us now.It's old fashioned and cryptic,and misleading.I think it would be very hard for religious leaders to twist the bible if it was only about Jesus and what he said.
The book is too big,with too much stuff in it,and it's there's so much to twist,too much ammunition for religious leaders to use and I'm pretty sure it was always deliberately meant to be that way.To me,Jesus and God are the product,and the rest is unnecessary packaging.Jesus led a simple life,and spoke of straightforward ideas which honestly shouldn't ever have been necessary to talk about.It's just plain common sense.I don't think of it as a version of christianity,I just think that's what christianity already is.
