don't wanna be accused of hijacking the thread, so...

...a few words on Christianity from a filthy heathen.

Seems to me, the only Christianity worth its weight is Christian Existentialism, which focuses exclusively on the relationship between the individual and God, with no intermediaries beyond Christ, Himself.

You can't have a church or a congregation or fund-raising with CE cuz foundationally it's a private matter, which, of course, is why CE gets no play.

The Bible (specifically the Gospels) in CE is viewed as a letter to one, to 'you', not a device for mass-teaching.

As the man (supposedly) said: you go, alone, into your room, close the door, and pray.

Sure as shit can't build an 'empire' on 'that'.
