I think that it isn't a question of how real christianity is, just a question of how relevent it is...I can understand how in a pre-scientific society that it was a very relative and poignant source of hope for the unknown, all any religion seems to be, in essence, is a source of unrealistic hope for that which, fundamentally, is the one remaining unanswered question; where do we go when we die? Fear has created some beautiful and terrible aspects of our existance...unfortunately I believe religion of any description fills a big part of the latter category.
I for one look forward to the everlasting peace of turning to dust.
