Here is my shortest summary that captures my explanation of Christianity as briefly but comprehensively as possible.
Would you like to discuss this online, before a larger audience through social media, and see if it is broad enough to include people of other faith traditions under the umbrella of Christianity without losing or compromising the message: =====
(RE symbolic rituals are not meant to be taken literally). Jesus and the Holy Spirit are figurative representations of: Justice and Peace, the letter and spirit of the Law or "Word of God" (also called the Dharma in Buddhism or Natural laws in Native and Constitutional teachings of harmonious law and order) fulfilled and embodied in humanity so all people are united in spiritual harmony. The embodiment is spiritual first. The symbolism is metaphorical expression. The part that is literal is that people literally make peace with each other by receiving forgiveness and corrections mutually to restore peace and justice in real life, in real relations, in order to collectively establish world peace or the Kingdom of God on earth.
