I'm not saying that Lucifer was not a Christian (it seems he was), but being a Christian has a very specific definition and if you do not meet that definition, your self-identification is simply wrong. Many self-described Christians mean they believe in God and some amount of the NT as true. That description would apply to every angel (fallen or not) --even Satan.
Thanks for taking me serious and believing me when I say I was a Christian. That is very rare, I really appreciate that.
Just to be clear (I think you did get that): I did not just believe in God and the bible, I also dedicated my life to God, repenting of my sins and everything, like I wrote. I did go to great lengths to follow Jesus. Because of having this priority, I made sacrifices in my career and personal life that I now regret making, because I feel like it was a big lie and a waste of time, and I feel betrayed because of that. This is why I become very angry when someone (especially someone who does not know me at all) dares to tell me that I was not really a christian. It is arrogant and very disrespectful. Not very loving and Jesus-like.
So thanks again for not doing that.
What part about Christianity did you find irrational (you said rationality won out in your OP)?
