I was talking in general, sorry your feelings were hurt. I don't direct anything, perhaps you've noticed that by my "Vague Assertions". They certainly weren't directed at you, had they been it would have been much more clear and there probably would have been a, "Fuck you" spotted here and there.
You said Spirituality means nothing, I applied it in a general sense. Not a stretch by any means, but certainly it is appropriate. I'm not here to save your soul, I don't particularly care in that nature.

"Since, as I said, the only Christian values that I hold either existed before the birth of Christ or are beyond my awareness, I don't find any part of Christianity good or necessary in its own right."

I cited a few, they are simple ideas, and yes, they did exist before Christianity; they are concepts that are obvious. Like not to kill. That in fact existed likely before any religion of the present time, and was more likely developed by moral standards based around material value and a certain measure of selfishness. There is likely no concept or philosophy available today that did not stem from something else, likewise there was probably another concept of similar taste floating about the time of it's birth. Buddha, Plato and Christ were all around at a similar time, all with similar ideas. Ironic? Coincidence?
There are many ideas and concepts within the CHristian religion considered commonly misinterpreted, there are certain individuals within "The Church" who would support these claims.

I don't know what you expect, to find God on a message board? Anyway, enjoy yourself. I'm sure we could discuss ideas that are "Solely christian" in nature, but that would be entirely pointless since my grammar and spelling are so horrendous, plus I keep making personal attacks against you.
