I'm confused. Are you saying that you are a Christian, but you don't turn to the bible for guidance?
Not at all... Everyone has "God's law" written on their hearts. (the Bbile says so! lol)

However, words have specific meanings. A Canadian is a citizen of Canada and a Christian is am an who belives in the truth of the gospels and in the divinity of Jesus (see Wiki for the details). Changing the meaning of word to suit your beliefs is not intellectually honest.
If you ignore the gospels and don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, you're not a Christian, otherwise even Muslims would be Christians (they think the Jesus was a prophetand they believe in his teachings, after all).
Anyway, I don't really care that much about what how you want to label yourself. You can call yourself a Christian, a follower of the first Church of Elvis or a believer in the Invisible Pink Unicorn. The important thing is that you can't claim any superiority of your subjective morality over other moral philosophies.
So, you take wiki's word for who is considered a Christian?
Wouldn't a "Christian" be one who followed the teachings of Christ (Yeshua)?
