[net.misc] who's Christian? who cares?

andrea@hp-sdd.UUCP (andrea) (02/20/85)

The interchange on who is a Christian and who is not is getting pretty
silly, don't you think?

As a non-Christian Jewish-born gnostic (religions always seem to get in
the way of my relationship with God! ;@), I tend to consider as being
Christian

	anyone who believes that
		Christ is God 
			but nobody else is.

Most religions spend absurd amounts of time deciding who is a "true
believer"; ask the Catholics what they think of the Protestants, or
the Baptists what they think of the Unitarians, or ... but somehow,
nobody really seems to care except the two sides exchanging 
holier-than-thous.

That said, why doesn't anyone who really cares about it move it to
net.religion, or net.religion.xian?
