I would say you are correct if only most Christians thought -

I think being a christian is believing and accepting Gods and Jesus teachings(apparently as that is the main requirement.)[/b]

And they may very well believe that. Unfortunately for a lot of humble Christians many Churches divide and create different secular divisions due to some minor teaching in the Bible that is perceived in two different ways.

this is what Christianity is supposedly about. Unfortunately, Christianity has been diluded with hate and exclusion. I seriously hope that more people would think like you. Maybe then Christianity, as a whole, would not seem so despicable to me.

Humble? 99 percent of American Christians are NOT. Open minded? I think not, but it seems to me that Jesus would have been. Christianity has lost its way. It has become more of a club than a religion.

Truley sad....

Isn't believing in something a primordial 'animalish' instinct?

Also, there is no 'arch-Christian'. You have as much types of Christianity as you have Christians. 'Being a good Christian' really depends on where you live. If you live in some bible-belt village, being a good Christian was beating up those homosexuals, son. If you are a more liberal Christian, 'being a good Christian' is claiming to believe, and give some to charity, but not follow the (cruel) things god orders in the bible.

There isn't a clear 'Christian Way', no matter how hard certain soul-hungry churches claim.
