No, Christianity is a religion like any other.

Well glad we agree on somethingSmile

Quote: What does believing you have a "personal" relationship do to change it from being defined as a religion?
Nothing. religion is man's effort to reach out and worship God.

I disagree i think it is mere delusion and man made for control but okay.

A personal relationship is just a personal revelation/effort to not get lost in traditional/mindless worship. It's an effort to reach God and worship him with all of your being.

Actually no, you just assume that you are speaking to someone repersenting a specific denomination view. (again you did not ask any questions.)http://atheistforums.org/thread-12406.html

as you can see from this thread I do not believe in any one denominational view as being correct. Meaning Christ ensured us with his attonement offered to give us the freedom to center our worship on Him, the best way we know how to.. So long as it does not conflict with the 'thou shalt nots' assoceiated with the Christian religion.

Meaning so long as we do not 'go out of bounds' per the black and white rules found in the bible, then we have the freedom to worship as we like.

My 'judgement' in this case is not to determine whether or not these people themselves are christian. My efforts were to simply identify their deeds as having nothing to do with Christianity. (I Identified their deeds as sins, therefore they can not possiably be forms of worship.)
