Why tie yourself down to Christianity? I think organized anything - religions, philosophies, political ideologies - are all dangerous. Sure some Christians are responsible for great ideas, but so are Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Atheists, and yes, Satanists. And let's not forget that more people have been murdered in the name of religion than for any other reason. Ever.

I think the reason that ideologies fail - especially the really large ones, religion in particular - is because they don't account for individualism. I call myself agnostic in every aspect and can't explain my beliefs on most matters in under a full page.

I'm assuming that if you did become Christian you wouldn't be a fundamentalist. And if that's the case then why call yourself a Christian anyway? It's just a word, and it causes more problems that it solves.
