<rant> Good point. There is a world of difference between being Christian, and unthinking acceptance of everyone else who claims to be Christian, which is what bothers me. I heard a number of interviews before the election where people said of Bush: "He is a Christian. That's all I need to know." So wait, if I am not a Christian as you define the term, that that also all you need to know? Not to mention the whole other issue about whether claiming to be Christian makes you a Christian. Wasn't there something about Pharisees, not to mention camels through the eye of a needle? </rant>
