Oh, you could live by the golden rule, etc., and say you live according to Christian values and so on. But that does sort of beg the question of why buy half if you don't really buy the other half. There is not a comparably practical way to actually "practice" Christianity outside of believing in Christ and the church and its dogmas as there is to practice Buddhism, which correctly does not absolutely require anything aside from meditation or "sitting"...but it does require that. You can't be a buddhist purely intellectually...it is experiential, there is a specific something you do...but it's not dependent on faith or belief for its efficacy.

God, I sound opinionated today.
