Wow you love to throw the accusations around, I am very open minded, but I have yet to see anyone show any reason why christianity is more than just another belief system, that is based on fear and guilt. In fact everything I've seen so far in this forum proves the opposite. I see the absolute narrow mindedness of people that cannot even imagine a world beyond their narrow, limiting belief system. As for common sense, how does common sense have anything to do with believing in a fictional story, that is so full of inconsistancies , incongruities, with no basis in any sort of logic.

You don't need a church government, you have a mad tyrant as a god, who performs all those traits for you. Your belief in this tyrant provides you with all the fear and guilt you could ever need.
