People need to stop believing in an organization and start believing in mankind.
Give back to ALL people, not just your supposed "christian" church.
Look not ONLY to christian teachings, but to all teachings - and give back to the entire world, regardless of race, creed, or religion

The statement is so general as to be comparable to asking me "What do you think about water?"
I think there is a form of Christianity that is deadly to the soul - a code of rules and regulations, do's and don't's, that produce nothing but self righteousness and pride which results in further alienating rebellious men from being reconciled to their Creator.
True Christianity is Jesus Christ Himself - the Son of God, sent from heaven, to die on a cross for the sins of rebellious mankind. Risen from the dead and seated at the right hand of God the Father, ready to save and freely bestow His Holy Spirit upon all who call upon Him in faith.
He is altogether lovely, the very image of the invisible God, full of grace and truth, abundant in mercy and love and kindness, and well able to make good His promise of eternal life in a coming age, where all the former things; sin, death, sickness, war and pain and every evil thing will be forever done away with. If it is this latter form of Christianity you are asking about, it is the most glorious thing this sorry old world has ever seen, save only the Savior Himself.

The religion is very interesting with many fascinating stories, poetry, and people. The ideals are true and good.
However, some of the people within (meaning believers) are the problem for me. Taking their religion and interpreting it any way they choose to further their own agendas. They turn it from a religion of love to some drek about politics, scandal, domination, and hatred of other beings on the planet.
This being said, I do think that there are many good Christian people out there. Some of them are some of my best friends.
But this is just my opinion.

It's a positive religion, but some choose to promote it with a condescending, judgemental, and arrogant attitude. Instead of telling others how it has enriched their lives, some Christians argue how "right" their religion is and how others are going to hell if they don't accept God's word. I know some argue that the "truth isn't pretty", but neither are the numbers of people that Christians are going to manage to convert with that attitude.

Christianity is not really a religion, but sort of a general term to describe all those who believe Jesus Christ was God and died to save us.
In that case, the way I feel about Christianity is it's a good thing, but there is more to it than just that one teaching, therefore we have many denominations all teaching different things about Christ (and they can't all be right).
I am Roman Catholic. I believe everything that Christ has revealed to us in Scripture and Tradition.
God bless you.

I feel more towards God rather than religion. Christianity is SUPPOSED to be about love....meaning loving God and others. However, over the years people who have called themselves Christians have muddied up Christianity.
I am a Christian but I detest religion.
Christianity without the religion

Religion with a two-fold agenda. On one hand a loving God, on the other a God of Wrath and Jesus stuck in the middle of it all. Without this faith, many would not "receive" second chances in life though or put out the efforts to change. The "success" comes only when one finds out christianity is not Jesus, just as Jesus was not of christianity. Jesus was not called "christ" until after he "ascended." He was an essene monk, as such, of the Egyptian faith, and that's what got him crucified....

I used to be an atheist, but after much searching, ultimately committed my life to Christ.
I think highly of True Christianity (true = committed to following the teachings of Jesus as revealed in the New Testament).
Cordially,
John
