Christianity (from the Ancient Greek: Χριστιανός Christianos and the Latin suffix -itas) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in canonical gospels and other New Testament writings as well as the Old Testament. Most adherents of the Christian faith, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human and the savior of humanity prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequentially, Christians commonly refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah.

Q. All religions encourage, modesty, fasting, spirituality respect of life.. Except Christianity ! Christianity is a highly materialist tenet You go to churches you have to give money to priests and pastors! Your burry your dead, you have to give money to those blood sucking priests You get married you give money to those sweety priests Even in Christmas, Christians pass this strange bizarre day giving gifts to each other, this silly habit end up usually with arguing and quarreling! Even their kids knock at doors during Halloween day looking for food and money! What a materialist doctrine you have !
