I qualify as a Christian by attempting to lead my life according to the criterion Jesus set out in Matthew 19:16- and Luke 10:25-. I interpret this as requiring proactive steps to improve the world and not just avoiding bad behavior. If I am required to believe Genesis is literal history, I fail.

I think all images of the afterlife are BS. I don't worry about it. Existence is beyond my comprehension. I find it unlikely that God is the malicious trickster portrayed in creationist ramblings.

What does this mean to you?

Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
-1 Corinthians 12:3
