I am a Christian because the teachings of Christ make sense. Can you sum up those teaching? I believe the good ones were already common. "Be nice." And the crazy ones are just crazy. "Believe I'm YHWH's avatar and go to heaven. Don't and burn in hell." He also seemed to be really keen on giving away all your stuff. Give me Socrates or Confucius any day. Actually there's some merit to the idea of giving away your stuff. If a person regularly give their stuff away they will become less attached to impermenant material things (stuff). The less a person clings to stuff the less that person will worry about aquiring more stuff or losing the stuff they have. The less a person worries and stresses about stuff the happier that person will be.

Yeah, it's amazing that everybody seems to ignore ol' Yeshua's asceticism and go right into hating gay people and foreigners.
