but why in christianity you can't be purifide , unless you talk to a priest,
it should exist a relation between a man and his creator without a third person !

@dexterrr22 That's fine. In fact, my class is currently doing a quick study of Islam, and we know we are missing many of differences among Muslims.

That's Catholicism, not Christianity, they're not very similar
Catholicism has more in common with the Muslims and Mormons

It’s call deism.
They hold that the universe operates according to fixed natural laws that the creator established at the moment of creation. Once those laws were set in motion, the creator withdrew. There is no ongoing intervention, no miraculous revelation, and no divinely inspired scripture.

@th3r0n From Wikipedia:
The Sadducees rejected the Oral Torah as proposed by the Pharisees. Rather, they saw the Written Torah as the sole source of divine authority. Later writings of the Pharisees criticized this belief as one that strengthened the Sadducees' own power.
According to Josephus, the Sadducees' beliefs included:
Rejection of the idea of fate or of a pre-ordained future.
God does not commit or even think evil.
Man has free will; "man has the free choice of good or evil".
The soul is not immortal and there is no afterlife, and no rewards or penalties after death.
It is a virtue to debate and dispute with philosophy-teachers.
The Sadducees did not accept the idea of resurrection of the dead, but believed (contrary to the claim of Josephus) in the traditional Jewish concept of Sheol for those who had died. Josephus also includes a claim that the Sadducees are rude compared to loving and compassionate Pharisees, but this is generally considered more of a sectarian insult rather than an unbiased judgment of the Sadducees on their own terms. Similarly, Josephus brags that the Sadducees were often forced to back down if their judgments clashed with the Pharisees, as he says that the Pharisees were more popular with the multitude
