I love the concept of Christ's atoning sacrifice, and Christianity's message of hope. I also love the rituals and traditions of the Church, and the fact that Christian charity has fed, clothed and sheltered millions of people worldwide.
But I don't like the fact that some people use Christianity to push an agenda of bigotry and intolerance.

Best: The fact that Christ preached tolerance and love of your fellow man (seriously, you can't honestly tell me, if Christ were alive today, that he would approve of all this hatred and violence going on around the world in the name of religion).
Least: Claims that homosexuality is a "sin" and that the only way to Heaven is through Christ, so a good overall person who practices a different religion or no religion at all is going to Hell. That was the original reason why I turned away from Christianity and haven't gone back.

What I like best is that I am secure in knowing that I will spend my eternal life after physical death in Heaven, with my savior, Jesus Christ, and it will be a glorious place. what I like least is that there aren't more Christians and the fact that we are chastised for our beliefs and most other religions get all sorts of "favors" just because they don't believe in Christ.

Best, an intimate relationship with God, and his Son Jesus the Christ.
Worst, The way people, especially political leaders, twist and skew Christianity to suit their own agendas.

The things I like the least about Christianity is the fact that they often do the exact opposite of what Jesus taught.
Like judging everyone when Jesus asked that we not judge.
Supporting wars when jesus asked us to love our enemys.
Telling the athiests they are going to go to hell when Jesus ask us to turn the other cheek.
Calling people names when Jesus ask us to love our neighbors.
Love and blessings Don

What I like best is the message of peace and love -- boy, sounds cheesy, eh, but essentialy that's what the Christian message boils down to.
What I like least is how people abuse Christ's message to hate and discriminate.

I used to like some aspects of Christianity, but not anymore because you guys changed so many things that just made the whole religion confusing and bowl of crap.

well, jesus was a nice idea even if it didn't work out well in the end. and they have pretty cathedrals.
on the downside, they do have things like hell and original sin that take away from the good things about it.

I like that it gives you a relationship with God which is close. But I don't like that some Christians condemn non-believers.
