I believe in God... I believe in Christ. But honestly I think it is like a lot of other religions... there are good people... and there are hypocrites. A lot of drug dealers and gang members will murder you in cold blood out on the street, and go to church every sunday.
Personally I try my best to live a good life and be a moral individual. I think that is the core of most religions... whomever they call god.
Three core Christian teachings that I try my best to live by.
1: Saved by grace through faith alone. Not by works... so that no man may boast.
2: Judge not... lest you be judged.
3: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
The last two are basicly a "live and let live" mentality.
The Bible is like any other religious text... a lot of things are very ambigouos and generalized... so they can be interpreted many different ways. Some folks are tolerant... some folks are extreme.
