Christianity is a way of living, and for me, the only real way to eternal happiness.
It means following Christ's Word so that I can stand righteous on the Day of Judgement . Through Christ I am forgiven of all my offences and my motives are purified.

i used to laugh at jesus and all christians... but now i am one too..
christianity means nothing to me, but Jesus did..
since i embrace jesus, i am a happier and joyful person.. my character improves, my temper cool off... people around me see the change in me...
when i was younger, i follow my father and was a taoist.. then when my dad passed away, i follow my mum and became a buddhist..but after a "dare" or bet with my friend, i converted in 6 months, finally a religion of my choice.. it suddenly make sense to me..i did research before my conversion and compares all other religion even islam..i tried to challenged what the pastor says and was full of doubts.. but when God starts talking to me, i decided to stick with Jesus..
How long i will be with Jesus, i don't know.. at least for now, i'm a happy person..i go to church to listen to God's word, not to worship the preacher or pastor. my church never insist on offering, tithing, fasting,baptism or evagelistic activities.. i leave all my friends alone and respect other religion...i don't know why people here hates christian so much.. but it doens't affect me at all.. that's all!!

Christianity symbolizes Hope for eternal life. God said "He who believeth in Me shall not perish but, have eternal life" Jesus also said "No man cometh to Me but, by the Father". In other words, you must accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God to have eternal life. God sent His Son to die on the cross so that we would be foregiven of all our sins if, we would just ask.
By accepting Christ on Gods terms we are promised eternal life.

It means a God who went to the max to save man by sending His son to the cross to pay for mans sins so that man could have eternal life. It means a God who wants a personal loving relationship with each of us as opposed to all the other religions where God is a distant unknowable figure which one just sacrifices to in order to assuage His anger so that He won't hit you with His wrath. It means a God who wants to bear your burdens and says to you "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light"(Mathew 11:28-30).

Repression, brainwashing, hope for people without hope, a solution for everything, but the wrong solution.

The first reply is probably the best.
Though Inquisition comes to mind as well.
