Isn't it all just a bit boring??

It does often have that reputation, but as Christians we believe in a living, breathing God who is interested in today's world and today's people. Not all churches are dull and boring and the God whom we worship certainly isn't!! if you don't like it; get involved and change it!!

Isn't God just like Father Christmas - an elderly man with a long beard who we only think about once a year and then soon grow out of?

This isn't a true picture of God - there are many misconceptions about God around - from the angry policeman just waiting to catch us out to the moral example. The God that we believe in is a God who loves and forgives each one of us if we accept the offer of a personal relationship with him which is made possible through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Aren't all religions basically the same though?

Christianity has never claimed to be a religion, based on practices, but a faith grounded in relationship. Christians believe that the Bible teaches that the only way to God, the Father, is through Jesus Christ, who said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6)
