NP but I will bite. There are lots of different interpretations of Christianity.  Is that not apparent to you?  Views on Christianity are about as wide as you can make them.  I would say basic tenet is only that you believe that Jesus Christ was the son of god and that you basically strive to follow the teachings of Christ as best you understand them. What those teachings are is open to interpretation. I personally believe that it is just to try to be a good person, try to forgive, try to be kind.  I don't take the central message as one of salvation if I believe because to me trying to be more Christ-like in ones actions is much more important that objectively expressing my beliefs or judging those that don't believe.  I am supposed to love those people too.    [/quote]

If you've broken one commandment you have a debt you can't pay back .  Humans situation is so dire, God sent his son to be tortured and killed to absorb the justice required to whitewash us and make us cohabit able with pure and just love in heaven.

That is Christianity .[/quote]

Incidentally, I also don't believe in original sin so I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.  [b]I am not sure this was actually a serious post[/b] but if it was, this is not what Chrisitanity means to me by a long shot. [/quote]

It sounds like it could be an atheist enjoying pointing out the most grisly beliefs of Christianity, doesn't it?   Substitutionary atonement is a basic Christian belief, though, as is original sin.[/quote]
