I don't. I could be wrong, but it is ethically beneficial for me to follow the Christian faith as I am best capable of understanding it. My understanding not only could be flawed but undoubtedly is flawed. In reply to JavaBlack, I never have and never will stop questioning points of theology. That is why I don't attend any particular church. I find myself in disagreement with the required ideas of all of them. I believe what helps me follow my conscience. For example, if I believe that God the Son suffered and died for my sins, I am less likely to sin. Conversely, if I believe that helping a stranger is ultimately doing a good deed for God ("Ye have done it unto me"), I am more likely to help everyone- even those whom I would otherwise have no reason to think of. The goal is not reward or the avoidance of punishment but rather moral improvement for its own sake.
