Is It Me Or Is There Something A Bit Illogical Here?

[Drich]

But the issue becomes, how does someone define a religion that doesn't adhere to strict guidelines?

Christ defined it (In practice) as Christianity. Christ told us that the whole of 'Christianity' is based on two commands, not a list of strict guidelines.

A lot of the people who I've seen arguing with you (including myself) don't like that you seem to answer that question by using your own, personal definition of what a Christian is.

Everything being defined by me is straight unfiltered bible. I do not use the typical 'christian' approach when discussing matters. Meaning I am not repersenting a given denominations doctrine or offical stand/position of the church. That is why most of you are having difficulty constructing a viable arguements. For the majority of the arguements you bring to the discussion have been purpose built around deconstructing a given denomination's doctrinal views.

You can have your opinion, of course, but it makes debate a nightmare of shifting goalposts if you don't clearly define it beforehand.

then ask a question rather than assume that you know everything their is to know about christianity/the bible.

(And no one ever clearly defines what specific type of Christian they are.)

I have many many many times on this web site. I am a bible Based Christian. I speak where the bible speaks and remains silent where the bible is silent.
