Do Christians not read the Old Testament?
#1 Is the Bible an optional text, as a Christian? #2 Does The Bible contain moral guidelines (albeit interpretable)?
Is that the entirety of the similarities between various forms of Christianity?

They read the OT, as a history of where their religion came from, not a place to get dogma.
To call one's self a Christian one must follow the teachings of Christ... pretty much it. How is this not clear?
That is the
only similarity between them. Many that call themselves Christian do not follow His teachings, quite the opposite, most teach the dogma of Us and Them.
