It is a requirement for those who believe. A requirement. A requirement.
A requirement for one who already believes.

The creed of a religion is not as important as whether it supports a sound system of ethics. And a sound system of ethics validates its creed.

Can you tell me what you mean? I'm not sure I get your point.

No, let's keep it at Christian. The one that proclaims Jesus Christ, the historical and trinitarian one. That's kinda important.
I thought you just said core Christian doctrine does NOT rely on creeds, and then you invoke trinitarianism. That's a creed, one that was only arrived at after hundreds of years of dispute.

I'm glad to see that Simon agrees that religion is ridiculous. It's all imaginary.
