I mean, take out the worship, smiting, jealousy, sin, sacrifice, tithing, etc.

No. Christianity is nothing more than a religion created for those that felt oppressed by those in power at the time. The western Christians have already turned Jesus into a white man, so I think your question is coming a little late in the Jesus game.

Rnt u crazy??
if u r a True Christian u should respect other other religions. Christanity is fairly a new religion. There r no. of religions which have been existing since thousands of years.
The reason Christanity became popular like Pepsi or Coca Cola is because of the flexibility it offers to life. A person who is christian can commit any crime and just confess and ur God will excuse the sinner, This is not allowed in many religions.
More over u can eat anything. But some religions prohibit people eating from some animals which either are considered sacred or hated.
Christanity also doesnot consider Science.. like the theory of evolution. In todays world every thing depends on radical thinking. You should think before u believe in anything.
If im wrong reply...

I personally don't care if I convert you or not. I know my relationship with God and thats the only one that concerns me. Sure, when I read all the ignorant people on here denying God and treating the thought of God like a mystical character, it makes me sad for you and I cant help that. But as soon as I sign off, I forget you ever existed and its fine with me. Its not my job to convert you. That just means thers more room in heaven for my family and friends hopefully.
PS......I would hate God to if I were as ugly as you......hey......even you have a purpose on this Earth.....its just not to be a model...lol

That would only work if we assume that God was just a character. The truth is that Christians believe that God is real and to change the preception of God is to make less of Him or to think that the God we have is not enough.

God is not market produkt. In Old testament he called himself
ehejeh asher ehejeh , i am who i am ( jahveh asher jahveh he is who he is), we can not change God, his naming hisself describes that. Are you so much a consumer that only thing that matters is what they present you. If we sell god that is not against sin, religion where everything is allowed, sex, kills, perversions, homosexuality, and all kind of other vices, whould you a consumer buy such a product?
Well God is not for sale, and I am not buying religion as some consumer product. I am choosing it as a free man with free will. And I am accepting religion and God as it is, I will always try to better understand Him, but I will no doubt, and I will accept all good and evil that I have done as my doings by His judgment with hope in His Mercy.

well, the problem is that we are not looking at success.. we are just aiming are doing God's work and its God's work to save people.. our work as christians is to be earnest in our work and love other people and share the light to them and pray for them. Bringing people to God is his work in which we don't have any power..
And as for depicting God as a more appealing character, I am sure that many people give a wrong impression of God by dictating their principles of how God is according to them, but the God of the bible does not change and if you really want to know his true nature, read the bible.. and don't just look at christians because according to me.. most christians make the mistake of depicting God as someone he is not... so we always have to be on our guard.
I have to say that most christians take pride in knowing God, but what they forget to realise is that God is the one who opened their eyes to the truth and without him they would not be what they are now and hence they should love the people who scorn them as well.. and most of the time.. its like a cold war .. and we who should show love and concern even if we are scorned... don't do what we are supposed to do. I am sorry if I ever sound rude in here.. but it is our duty to love our fellow beings.. because our God loves them as much as he loves us...

Nope. What God is more amazing and worth worshipping than a God who sacrifice himself to save us all.

Yeah! Maybe if we made him a gun-toting cowboy.... or a spaceman..... or a super hero who can fly..... or a giant monster with big teeth who growls.... or a ......
Nope, we don't need to make God more appealing because He IS appealing! He IS real! And He gives us the choice as to whether or not to believe in Him!

Christianity is about your personal relationship with God. Let God reveal himself to you, and make your own decisions as to what is important or not. Just make sure that you are true in your heart with your deliberations.

You are right. I am a Christian and I agree (I was pegan and no religion at all once because of people who pretended to be Christian for the power trip or other reasons).
