JRC is quite right that comparing Christianity at its best to Theosophy at its worst is not fair. But it does balance the tendency of Theosophists to do the opposite, which I did for years. Whatever the overall balance of light and shadow in Christianity, though, it is the Methodists that I abandoned in adolescence for greener fields, and that particular branch of Christianity shows more intellectual flexibility and openness to new ideas than any of the non-Christian groups I've explored. Plus doing better at the warm and fuzzy stuff.
