But if there's anything I've learned since falling in love with a non-denominational Christian it's that Christianity doesn't have to be that way.
It doesn't have to be only because people choose to believe what they believe a la carte as Hitchens liked to describe it. A set of faith beliefs that is anything close to the Christianity of the Bible is a deplorable thing.
This seems contradictory to me. Even "a la carte" beliefs stem from Biblical teachings or philosophy. Obviously they're all going to be close to the Christianity of the Bible.
