As shown in Rational Gaudism Section 9.2.1 or God is Imaginary - 50 simple proofs the hypothesis of the existence of the Christian God is de facto scientifically falsified. Thus, there is no reason to have respect for the claim that the Christian God exists; delusions are, with all respect, something that do not deserve respect (however, all human beings deserve respect to a certain extent, included those who bear this delusion). However, one type of Christianity that does deserve respect is a philosophy identifying all references to divinity in the Bible as superstition of ancient times, which are caused by lack of technology and rational epistemological principles. Furthermore, this respectable type of Christianity states that so large parts of Christ's philosophy is very good that its supporters choose to call themselves Christians. But they retain the right to dissociate from the parts of Christ's teaching that are outdated and negative, while the whole or most of the Old Testament are “trashed”. Such respectable Christianity is not religion, but Christian human ethics (Christianity and human ethics merge). However, this type of Christianity is not in accordance my philosophy, but it deserves nevertheless respect since it is not epistemologically absurd.
Are there any people here that are Christians according to these thoughts?
