Non Christians. What are some good qualities about Christianity?

[Quixote1818]

I just wanted to start a thread that will bring Christians and non Christians together. Please no condescending sarcastic jokes. Lets be adults on this thread.

I would not consider myself a Christian and in fact with Thomas Jefferson I would say the "I am in a sect of all by myself" when it comes to spirituality. I am a mix of Humanist, Deist, Christian, Buddhist, Existentialist, Transcendentalist etc. etc. A lot of Fundamentalists rip on Humanists and Non Christians and think we are going to hell. A lot of Non Christians think the Bible is full of crap. Is their a way we can find middle ground and look at things we agree on?

My position is their is good and bad in the Bible however with Jefferson I would say that the basic simple teachings of Jesus are mostly wonderful and good. I don't care if Jesus was God or just a very enlightened person, he was obviously a very wonderful, kind, loving, tolerant person. I don't know how much of what he said was real or was from ancient myths passed down from Persia and Egypt but if he was real and actually said and did those things he was as close to perfect as a human could be.

Their are enough threads about the problems of Christianity and the Bible so just this once lets find in this thread ONLY good things to say about Christianity and believe me their are many many good things. Please no condescending sarcastic jokes, lets be sincere.
