Isn't the fundamental principle of Christianity..."Love your neighbour as you love yourself."
I think the fundemental principle is# . . . "Don't ask any questions".

The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. "You eat this apple, you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that."-- Frank Zappa
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.-- Richard Dawkins (attributed: source unknown)
