In many ways it is.
Buy it is slightly more fantastic when you look at the myths that have grown up around Christianity.

Well they both have the same God, but they don't believe Jesus was a prophet or the son of God, so Yes, a christian is just a wannabe Jew. They both believe in the same delusion though, so I would say they are both equally worthless in helping us find the real meaning for this place. They are like the annoying kid who always tries to tell you that Santa clause is real, and you say, hey dude! I saw my mom put the presents under the tree alright! We need to put our embarrassing past of universal ignorance behind us, just like we stopped believing in Santa Clause when we matured. Lets move on, and try to find a logical explanation for why we are here and where we are going. They need to stop fooling around and hold their end of the rope.

I have always thought of it as being the exact opposite. It was the end of it, actually.
"At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split." Matthew 27:51
Now that Jesus died for our sins, nothing is standing between God and us. Not race, not gender, not even a curtain. (The curtain is what kept people in the Old Testament times from seeing the most sacred places of the temples, because they were afraid of being in the presence of God.) I'd suggest biblegateway.com and reading around that verse.

IT is not. The church is catholic which means universal. all cultures, all peoples.. Christians believe in a new world ruled by Jesus. So we are not totally tied to the here and now. But all cultures and all peoples can be Christians.

how is it that while christianity and islam teach that all non-christians and non-muslims will go to hell, judaism does not teach that non-jews go to hell yet somehow we are STILL called the ethnocentric religion?
