Categorizing and Grouping

[Inquisitor]

Words can change meanings over time, and I think it would be fair to say that Christianity (Chirstianism) could now be called "Confusionism" because of all the interpretaions about Jesus that are floating around, be they in context or out-of-context the opinions are as vast as are the spiecies of birds on this planet.

This is why Christians identify themselves by the church they belong to. E.g. catholic, protestant, orthodox.

More so anyone who would title their self as a Christian would have the very attitude that is contrary to the attitudes Jesus advocated.

Such a grand statement with such little evidence. Did I say little? I meant, no evidence.

So use only the title "human being" and drop all those other phoney titles, and then you will know your true classification.

This would put me in a company with people I have no respect towards.

Self evident facts don&#39;t actually need evidence. The Christian faith is essentially a collection of Pagan rituals and beliefs. Christmas day is based not on Jesus&#39; birthday but on the Pagan Festival of the Sun God, Sol, of which Constantine was a faithful member. Jesus would be dismayed to see his religion so tainted, though I suspect he would be OK with it in the way it is today.

My claim that a real Christian would not hold the title of Christian is based on the evidence outlined in the blessed attitudes about being humble, etc.

We should respect one another even as god would respect everyone the same way, and the title Christain would be like saying "I am better then the lowlife" which is an attitude of pride that is not in keeping with the attitudes outlined as being the blessed attitudes. Any self-righteous title would give one the false impression of not being in the same boat with everyone else, and likewise, and no worldly appointed title can save anyone from being as human as the next guy. The whole ranking system of being called Bishop, Pope, Deacon, Priest, and all such things is all for show and not based on anything that would denote that it is nothing more then a surface mask to hide behind for the pretence of authority and/or favortism. Call not man on earth "Father". Oh Adam, why are thee still hiding behind a fig leaf?

Technosoul.

This is a common tactic. Denounce a sigular word for describing something so it becomes unobtainable to insult.
