And, you are somehow qualified to be the objective arbiter of what is and is not a valid claim to Christianity? If not, who or what is? What objectively makes a valid Christian?
Since words seem to be troublesome for you, you have to remember that 'objective' means that there is no reasonable way to dispute the claim. If I claim that I play for the Cowboys and this claim is true, I have many ways of conclusively proving it.
Can you even prove that you're a Christian? If so, I request that you do it.

I agree with you entirely, as most things Christians claim to be true are complete and utter horse shit. [/quote]
