Hi Nelson, I am certainly not a "hater" of Christianity - on the contrary I have a healthy respect for people of the book.
However I think what most religious skeptics would find 'intriguing' its that on the one hand you say your religion is love-centered, while on the other hand the whole religion is underpinned by the clause that if you dont do what's expected of you, you'll end up in hell.
It seems to be a case of "love yourself, love your neighbour, love everyone! Or else."
So thats probably one of the reasons why your claim of a love-centered religion raises a few eyebrows.
I believe there are many excellent facets to most religions. They typically all mean well and end up being much maligned owing to what people make of them. The other fundamental problem with them, of course, is that they reinforce the issue of 'seperation'. I'm this, you're that. Houston, we have a religious war on our hands...
