My religion is Free Christianity. In it you treasure any kind of Christian tradition, but without any rules, except only the pursuit of the greatest freedom for the greatest number and the greatest possible diversity of beings.
F.A.Q.
1. Why not atheism?
Because my "I" feels the need to cultivate a friendship with life and, in order to do this, to treat it as a person is more congenial.
2. Why Christianity and not Islam, Buddhism or something else?
Because life has made me grow as a Christian, but a similar orientation is also feasible from any other religion; any religious orientation can be integrated into Free Christianity, because there are no rules .
3. A confused mixture of anything?
No, because there is a not confused source: Christianity.
4. Is there in Free Christianity available space for atheism ?
Yes, otherwise it would not be free .
5. How can anybody be an atheist and a Christian?
It is possible, because being a Christian does not necessarily mean believing that Jesus Christ is God, in the same way that being a Marxist does not mean thinking that Marx was a god; on the other hand, in no religion exists a clear idea of ​​what the word "God" means, because in no religion are valid answers to the question "why does evil exist?".
6. How is the existence of evil explained in Free Christianity?
It is not explained .
7. What is practiced in Free Christianity ?
First practice is the pursuit of freedom. To achieve this everyone, alone or in groups, can choose or create the rules or paths to follow; these rules are binding only those who want to submit theirselves to them, without any present, nor future obligation.
8. Is it possibile to refer to forms of coherence in Free Christianity?
Yes, coherence with the name: it is Christianity and therefore can not be practiced by those who nourish contempt against Jesus Christ; it is Free and so can not be practiced by those who believe that there must be rules other than that of freedom and what comes from it .
9. Are there prohibitions ?
The obligation not to despise Jesus Christ is an aspect of freedom for the greatest diversity of beings: to despise a thing is to desire that it does not exist and this does not promote diversity.
10. Should not be despised even evil?
No one has ever given a clear definition of evil.
11. How is it possible to cultivate a friendship with life, considering the evil that is in it?
It is possible because there is not evil only in it.
12. The pursuit of freedom has given rise to contradictions: in the history wars have been fought and people killed for the pursuit of freedom .
In Free Christianity overcoming the contradictions and all clarifications are obtained through the research and the results are always provisional.
13. Is Free Christianity provisional?
Yes; what is not considered provisional serves only to exert power against freedom.
14. Is there in Free Christianity an obligation not to talk about not provisional things? Is there a dictatorship of relativism?
Yes, because rejecting the provisional means rejecting the future and in the future there are beings whose freedom must be respected.
15. Aren't there in the Bible ideas that conflict with Free Christianity?
It is impossible to read the Bible without interpreting it, and everyone should be free to interpret it as they want.
16. The results of the scientific studies on the Bible and theology have no value?
Every science declares the results of their research, but does not prescribe how they should be treated.
17. Isn't there the danger of anarchy and free space to human wickedness?
The human wickedness is overcome with education and confidence.
