Christians

[Cinjin]

There are literally hundreds of denominations that claim the flag of Christianity. Not only do they disagree on doctrinal issues, they disagree on the tiniest of issues. Case in point, my neighbor across the street attends a "Christian" church; his pastor is gay and they don't even believe that Jesus Christ was Son of God ... [snip rest]

Anyone can claim to be Christian. That does not mean they are. ...

Yes it does. All one has to do is define christianity one way: Christ Like. And if they feel that they are Christ like, regardless of their ridiculous notions, they can call themselves christians and your point of view becomes just as arrogant as say, a third, more credible denomination that happens to differ in doctrinal practices from your own. Please keep in mind, that I understand and even partially agree with you, but defining the term Christianity has proven to be very open to interpolation - as we have hundreds of various sects, denominations, and micro-communities of christianity to prove the validity of my original point.
Regardless of the fact that others may not recognize them as "christians" (according to their own definition), that doesn't change the fact that others do. Add to that - that they read and worship from the same Bible, and what you've got is simply another sect of Christianity that disagrees with everyone else.

Same ole same ole.

In that reasoning Cinjin anyone could claim to be anything as long as they define that they are whatever like, irrespective of their actions, I'm affraid that does not fly.

No it shouldn't fly. And yet it's done all the time. Constantly. Islam is the worst, but Christianity is a close runner up.
