You don't have to follow a leader to be a Christian, and "love they neighbour" would follow much of what you said.
The underlying principle of the bible is love and charity, keep it in mind and you would be good to go

What do you mean, if you kip this doctrine at heart you are ok to go?
Then the bible is about commandment and not true spirituality.

Nice post.
I thought you will write something in this manner, because I have notice your reply to other post in the same manner that you have wrote your thread.
In my view it shows a good deal of balance and lucidity.
Are we ready to take the step to freedom?

I accept your reply.
Tell me now; what do you consider more important Love or Bible?
In another word if you have to choose, which one will it be? Unconditional love to all human or the reading and following of the bible?

Filter out 10% of the Bible and Im good to go, yes.
But thats not what people under the label of religion are doing. They are taking the entire teaching and sometimes literally.

... too many religions, too many philosophies, that drag human to servitude ...obedient doctrine.

undoutedly SOME do take the readings literally, not too many I suspect, I personally put a lot in context and look for the deeper principles involved, which, again, are love

If you leave it at that, then Christianity and all other religions, would be just wonderful and this world would be at ease
And by "leave it at that" I also mean not saying "But THEY must practice love too, or else THEY go to hell".
But religion has never been much into minding ones own business, has it.

Let me rephrase my question;
Is an imaginary son of yours. He’s name is Love.
Is an imaginary father of yours. He’s name is Bible.
Both are about to fall in a ravine, which one would you save as you can only save one.
I hope you don’t mind this way of mine to put my question a cross.
