: I appreciate your reasons for rejecting Christianity. The Mormon perspective is all screwed up. I would submit that Mormonism isn't Christianity at all. You didn't reject Christianity as such, mostly just the Mormon distortion.
To make this absolutely clear, yes I DO reject Christianity as such.
I find the whole notion of salvation to be ridiculous and rather barbaric. I don't care if the salvation is via "works" (ala the Mormons) or the born-again notion of saved by grace because god had himself killed by us so that he could decide to forgive us for how he created us. I find all the dogma of salvation to be completely idiotic.
Besides, even if it made any sense, the whole notion of salvation via the sacrifice of a savior isn't even original to Christianity but was 'borrowed' from earlier religions. Maybe we all should be praying to Krishna (aka "Jezeus") for saving us.
