Ok, give me the gist of it
>We're called Christianity, and we're an offspring of Judaism
Ok, go on
>We believe in a code of morals that prohibits murdering and stealing, but promotes empathy, mercy and community
Alright
>Our most important symbol is of a man who suffered immensely for the benefit of his fellow men
Ok
>We also believe that it is not wealth, but a moral life that benefitting the community that everybody should aspire to
Sounds good
>While we have abused our power in the past, today we are one of the biggest charity organizations in the world and channel lots of funds into poor countries to help those who need food and water the most urgently
Alright, this sounds like a great commu-
>We also must insist that an all-powerful ghost with human-like thought patterns created the entire universe a few thousand years ago through magic and made it so that the earth is at the center of everything, he also planted humans the exact way they are now; also he knows literally everything that happens, once wiped out most of humanity by making a flood appear through sheer will. Even though he is all-powerful no intervention of his has yet been irrefutably proven that can not be explained by modern science, but don't you doubt the existance of the space ghost, otherwise your consciousness will not cease to be, but be teleported into another dimension where monsters fuck you in the ass for literal eternity. If you disagree you're a fedora-tipping neckbeard, that's my argument.
....wait what?
Why does Christianity have to stick with the mythology that is attached to it? It should be a set of values, morals and ideas, instead it's a fairy tale story that puts the literal truthfulness of it's legends before the message of mercy and community it could be. You don't need the almighty spaceghost to legitimize everything.

I don't even believe in Christianity, or theism, but you put in no effort to understand their position.
Go read John Dun Scotus, or Aquinas at the very least.

What's it to you if they do?

messiah complex, they feel they must "help" everyone think their way

Go speak to a monk or priest with this, not /his/. It'll get a better answer for your question and not lead people astray here, as well.
I would rather think that i was created by god rather than tinking that i was brother with monkeys

Sounds like some Orthodox brainwash-reasoning

>We're called Christianity, and we're an offspring of Judaism.
No. Learn some history and come back.
Incidentally, taking out the mythological and dogmatic aspects, the philosophy of Aquinas is better than anything written in the old testament of the bible.

Are you a Christ-killer or perhaps don't want to associate yourself with Christ-killers?
Either way, whichever your answer is you're still wrong.

Judaism a later religion stemming from Pharisaism. It's actually more recent than Christianity.

All Christians are Jews.

>Samaritanism, Pharisism, Essenism, Ebonites, Paulists
Karaite Judaism follows patrilineal descent, meaning a Jew is someone whose father is Jewish, or who has undergone a formal conversion, since all Jewish descent in the Tanakh is traced patrilineally.

Jesus isn't the messiah

You are thinking of humanism. It's Christianity in a secular package.
