Admitting You're a Sinner

But was he a Christian? He did not believe Christ was who he said he was in the NT. He worked up his own definition. I like to work with the original, generally accepted and clearly articulated one from the documents that founded Christianity. 

Are you really ready to excommunicate Tolstoy again...?  His experience of christianity actually -was- transformative.  That "change" you were talking about earlier is definitely showing here.....but according to you he's an atheist, lol. 

Atheist?? Where in the world do you get that? He obviously believed in God. The opposite of Christian is not 'atheist', it's 'not Christian'. 

Why would I concede that there is no difference in morality between a population of people who individually and collectively develop/discover subjective morality and another population that is commanded to follow a moral code as part of their worldview?

Another difference that isn't there.  Deontological ethics are common and commonly secular.

Certainly not the same thing as following a objective, very specific list.
