Christianity is the worst religion

Christianity is the worst religion for civilization, since redemption is dependent upon faith, rather than good works, and a lifetime of wickedness can be redeemed by a death-bed conversion.

I tend to agree with your statements except the final one about discarding. It's a point that many people miss, any religion is meant to be as flexible, changable, adaptable, unifiable as the peoples and times that currently inhabit the planet. If it's not, than only prolonged death remains. You can observe it anywhere, shoot, even Scientology is no exception to that rule. If you put yourself in the shoes of a business man and see a business just sitting there, would you invest in it? No. Why? No profits and gains. But, if you spruce it up, change a few things, adapt it to the people or community (via location) to suit them, to make it personal for them, then and only then does it make sense to continue on with the service, and that's really what religion is, it's a civil service meant to inspire hope and to initiate, unify, integrate, communicate, cooperate, and define one simple beginning so we all have a point of origin. Cause as you know, those who do not know or care about their past, are doomed to repeat it. Then again, such is the human condition, sleep, work, eat, sex, repeat. C'mon, let's liven it up with a little religion, why not.
