The way I view my Christianity is this:
Everyone has sinned, and will sin throughout their life. We do this because we were given free will to choose for ourselves how to live our lives. Along with this free will comes the decision, whether or not to accept that God exists, and he sent Jesus to die for us and give us the chance to redeem ourselves of our ongoing sin. We do this by just accepting that fact. Its not a complicated thing really, you admit, accept, and are forgiven. But if you truly believe it, then you won't have the mindset of "Sweet now I've got a free ticket into Heaven, lets party man! Where the hoes at!?"
The people who really believe feel heartfelt guilt over their sin, and strive to be better people, and set a non-verbal example to the people around them of how to live a decent life, doing the best they can. Real Christians don't think they are perfect, don't try to be perfect, and know that no one is perfect. They just try to live life how it was suppossed to be, without all the hatred.
Thats the doctrine or whatever you want to call it that I subscribe to.
