Some people are working hard to try to keep this place a civilised (even tho sometime heated) debate forum. Comments like this certainly won't help.

The reasoning is that it is human nature to sin. It is Christianity's nature (if you will) to not sin.

You got a good point there. According to the bible, isn't it a sin to go to the toilet (or somethign like that) ? This certainly ain't "natural".

I think Christianity as practiced and interpreted by most Christians....is un-natural...Rigid, judgmental, don't follow the rules of their own teaching, bigoted, the list could go and on. It's almost as if the faith is set for it's followers to fail....
Please note before jumping me that I said most Christains

I think you are basically illustrating his point. Christ would not tell me, because there is no Christ. There may have been at some point, I have no idea, neither do you, you just have faith that he existed.
I think that's what he is saying.
It's not natural to believe in the unnatural. I'm not saying that for its negative connotations, I'm just saying it because it's true. If God were natural, we would know he exists -- we wouldn't just have to have blind faith. We wouldn't have to take someone else's word for it.
It's not natural to believe in some invisible man that you have no proof exists, who just happened to speak daily to people thousands of years ago -- even though he doesn't today -- so that they could write a nice book by which you base your entire life around which guides your thinking.
