In my opinion, you cannot be a Christian with add-ons. Either you are with or against Him - your choice. If you believe this, we are Brethren. If you do not, then we are enemies.

What's an add-on?
Like believing in him, and not leave your family behind?
Like believing in him, and not sell all your possessions?
Like believing in him, and not help people in need?
Great. Now all you have to do is agree on what constitutes being "with Him." So far, the hundreds of different versions of Christianity have been unable to do that, although I'm betting that your particular interpretation is the only one that's really "with Him."

My best friend has the 'DownThemAll' plugin in his Firefox browser.
He's a long -time Church of England Christian. Your call.

And that's why Applejack is Rarity's bitch. [/"Honest Apple"] /)^3^(\
Is it like Amazon's add-on program where I can order stuff that totals over $25 and get free shipping? Something like a Jesus figure for $3, a Jesus photo for $5, a silver-plated cross necklace for $4, a baby onsie $4, a Jesus patch for $3, and a dildo for $6?
I guess we're enemies, then.
Too bad for you; I'm a smart, likeable person. That's what happens when you base your relationships with other people on factors that are completely irrelevant to what kind of people they are.
Enjoy communing with the Phelps clan.
As an enemy, will I have to do anything ? I'm free on Wednesdays, but only in the afternoon, before four, and after two thirty, except for when I'm having a nap, or eating, or doing my books, or walking the dogs, or staring into space, but otherwise I'm free.
So the enemies it is. Now, I can be such to you and still tolerate you in my society, can you say the same for me? You wanna pull the first trigger, boy-o?
And what if they just need a good explanation (factual and logical) to turn to your side? What if they would be fine with God, but his followers are being jerks? What if they have a moral issue with the bible, and would need you to explain it to them in a rational/moral way for them to turn to your side?
What if you're the one who has faltered, and needs to be told so?
Oh right, everyone just needs to shut up and accept every single thing you say, no matter how factually, logically, morally, or just plain WRONG it is, no questions asked. Because you are god, and honest questions scare you. You just neglect to tell us that you think that.
@Insult to Rocks:
Add-ons? Does the Bible have DLC?
Are you kidding? The Bible has more expansion material (and on-disk scam "DLC") than Evolve . Used to be locked behind a paywall, too, but that system proved unsustainable due to hackers, pirating and competing products so they eventually transitioned to a pay-to-win model.
And I'm sure you're living as Jesus instructed.
No, of course you're not, your as much a hypocrite as those you're criticizing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
