cheers!
Yeah, one time back when I still identified as catholic, one coworker kept giving me a hard time about how Christians were Christians and Catholics were Catholic, and that never would the two meet.
I was just at a loss for words.
Fundamentalist Protestants don't consider Catholics, or Mormons, or Episcopalians, or sometimes even other flavors of Protestant to be Christians.
It all depends on how you define the term.
My take is if you believe God sent himself as his own son down to earth to sacrifice himself (the son) to himself (the father) because bleeding on a cross was the only way that he (the son) could convince himself (the father) to forgive us all for being such sinful beings which we are because an ancestor of ours who was made from a rib ate a magic fruit after she spoke with a talking snake and anyone who doesn't believe this story will be tortured forever in Hell by the god who loves us so much and, by the way, this is very important, love is evil when the body parts are similar, you're a Christian.
