Right. You don't have to do anything and you just get to go to "heaven"(or whatever better place)? That's could be one of the most retarded things that I've heard from so called "christians". We have to obey the commandments set down by God and Christ (which btw, i believe are two seperate entities) so that we can be part of something bigger, whatever you may believe that that is. Honestly, I think that if everyone actually "studied to show themselves approved", the whole "who's religion is right" thing would not exist..as much. You have to take into account varying views on things, but as a general rule, if we looked at everything in the bible correctly, we would be able to say that we are true christians. Unfortunately, the christianity of today is not the same as the christianity of the 1st century believers or of Christ's day. If you look back through profane(secular) history, you will see that as an effort to join his nation together in unity, Constantine merged the then current religions of Christianity and Paganism into one to create christianity as we know it. Where do you think we get the idea of Christmas? Basically, the pagans had the winter sulctice, and they definately didn't want to give up their parties, so Constantine decided that they should call it christ's birthday to get the 1st century christians to go along with it. Same idea with Easter. Halloween...now that's a totally unreligious holiday...in fact, it was the polar opposite...but this itn't about the origins of holidays so i'll shut up now.
