Alright, first of all, excellent posts everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them all.
Active - You are really starting to irritate me with your irrational and whimsical beliefs.

Wrong again my friend. It's completely and totally irrelevant where my alleged "cut off line" is. When I say that I don't know where the cut off is, all it proves is that I am lacking in a certain knowledge that only God could possibly possess. Lacking in knowledge and being wrong are not synonymous. Second, you certainly refuse to believe anything else that might prove your Fucked-up religious ideas wrong. I actually laughed out loud when I read the last sentence of your quote, because it certainly applies more to you than it does to me.
Next order of business:

Well said. Active, I don't understand how a living savior makes any religion more appealing than any other. Not only that, but just because you say that Christ lives(d), doesn't make it so. You are basing your religious beliefs upon a blind assumption, thus making Christianity no more significant or special than any other religion.

I think most people can agree that it makes much more sense for us to believe in a Holy God whom is fully divine without any "extras" to go along with it. Rather than believing in a dead God that we have to worship and do certain things so that one day we can be deemed "worthy" in his eyes (which are dead) so that we can go to heaven.

All religions ask their followers to "do certain things," Christianity included. Also, once again, why does living or dead matter for a diety? I see no significance in that issue.
