I believe in evolution too, and I don't believe all of what the Bible says to be true, only some of it. I made a choice not to believe in the ridiculous things in the Bible. Doesn't that make me a freethinker by that logic? I still hold true to my belief that Agnostics are the only freethinkers, though. In any case, I have to leave now, I look forward to talking about this later with you all.
You have merely utilized freethought in that situation, but it doesnt make you a freethinker.
If you run to the elevator to catch it before the doors close, does that make you someone who can describe themselves as a runner? If you happen to fix a broken electrical wire in your home, does that make you an electrician? If you cook food for yourself does that make you a cook? If you change the sparkplugs on your car does that make you a mechanic?
Im an atheist..if I walk into church and participate with the congregants, does that make me a Christian? If I agree that "do unto others" is a good code to live by, does that make me religious?
