The crux of all Christianity is that an omnipotent and loving God sent a human sacrifice to atone for the sins of a (fictional) man, knowing full well that he would be horribly tortured and mocked.
If that God existed (which I'm grateful he/she/it doesn't), I would be proud to oppose it. There are 3 main types of Christians in my opinion:
1. The Greedy Frauds
2. The Stupid
3. The Selfish and Fearful
These groups are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Anyone who could serve such a God isn't anyone I'd want to be around. Leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses in order to find some other version of this putrid and ignorant death cult is idiotic.
Why all Christianity is repulsive to me

I've a very strong feeling that the idea of resurrection comes first, and everything else flows from that. It doesn't seem so stupid, selfish, fradulent, selfish and fearful then imo - but I may be quite wrong

Well portcontrol07, if you hate Christianity that much, that puts you at odds with 75%+ of the population, you aren't much different than you were as a JW. That would make you an outcast still.

There is a lot stuff that can't be definitively proved (like the existence of Jesus), and stuff that doesn't make logical sense (like the ransom). But the tenets of Christ as written in the Gospels, are mostly sound and make for good living. Many Christians follow them and are wonderful people. Even if they are as made up as Disney, until it all can be definitively DISproven, let's make room for them and never forget the kindness that many Christians show. Don't let the bad apples ruin your perception of the rest of them.
BTW-The same can be said for other religious points of view such as Islam, Judaism, etc.

Postcontrol,stick around this forum and you will end up being happy in what you DO believe in and you will see how inclusive the lovely people on JWD are,many on here would not wish to be called Christian,but Christ would love to be called their friend.
The great thing is to learn to laugh at all silly things,such as the WTBS.and other religions.True Christians do not follow a religion,just Jesus.Now that may make you laugh,and if so good! Laughter is the best medicine! (To quote Readers Digest,another joke)
