Are you a christian?
Elizabeth Warren said she was a native American, Shaun King said he is black, and Ted Haggard said gay sex was icky and bad before getting caught. No, someone saying something is not enough for me. Like it has been pointed out, JBP is a grifter and likes to make his audience happy. He is clearly speaking in metaphor when he talks about Bible stories, and he makes that pretty clear. I'm aware that there are ten million sects of Christianity, but JBP doesn't sound like any other Christian I've heard. If we're going with the definition that it doesn't matter if you believe in a god and it doesn't matter if you believe Christ was divine and you don't believe the Bible stories are literal, then fine, JBP can be a Christian going by that definition, but I'm pretty sure that's not what 99 % of us think of here when we hear the word Christian.
