Then why won't you challenge yourself to at least understand what Jesus was about, even if you don't believe?
I've only been harassing you because it'd be like me telling you something about golf that was a common misconception. Telling you that if you didn't adhere to this misconception, you were a hack golfer.
I'd then proceed to roundly criticize current professionals as hacks.
Jesus’s ideas of love, humility, compassion, service to the needy, aren’t uncommon or difficult to grasp. They are human traits that come naturally to many people including children.
The challenge lies in living up to them as you move through life.

Read the Ghandi quote a few times. It’s relevant here.
Correct, but works alone don't mean anything if you don't believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus for salvation. That's where Christianity differs from all the other feel good religions in the world....
