"The full glory of it will come when this universe is remade and perfected."
Again. I am not born a "sinner", thank you, but I can do without your little prima facie guilt trip mentality. Took me years to outgrow the crap that was shoved down my throat as a child. And it's my immutable belief that the universe is perfect just as is, doesn't need "perfecting or "remaking".
"Christianity is about understanding that we have nothing to bring to the table, nothing that can raise our status in God's eyes."
Ah, again on the "we're not worthy" meme. Yup. Sure, sounds like the perfect mindset if you're an empire or a feudal lord to instill in your peasants and various functionaries. Deny all responsibility in yourself, hand it all over to some "savior". Heck, give 'em all sorts of comic book myth mumbo jumbo to argue over, keep it interesting.
I personally favor a religion or spiritual belief that gives me the reigns, not tries to absolve me of responsibility. And I think all this modern american-based christian interpretation of the Old Testament is really shallow, light weight and real, real weak...you use this tremendous body of history and deep spiritual thought and evolution to justify your own little viewpoint, to put your beliefs at the epicenter of it all. Of course the jews disagree with you, but that's ok, you use the jews and their history to justify yourselves and your self importance as well.
