You were okay up to this point. But, as is your tendency, you made a specious leap of logic.

Christianity is simply the set of teachings which correspond to the biblical truth of the true God. It is not a separate belief system. It is simply the faith put into words. Your leap is invalid. You almost seem to enjoy making this kind of ridiculous fork, either because you think it makes you look smart or because you are testing whether people can see how dumb it is. Anyway, it's terrible thinking.

And, of course, since you made a gross error in logic, the rest of your post beginning with the above is rank blah blah. Which also is typical of your writings. You go well for a little while and then you run the car right through the fence and over the cliff. The resulting wreck is usually spectacular and often entertaining. Like one of those movies where a car flies off a mountain and explodes midair without even hitting anything.
