Quote: Some will disagree and think an individual who identifies themself as a follower of Christ is a Christian regardless of what they believe being the Christ must entail.If they believe in christ.....which has a definite meaning - then of course....they are christians.
Quote: Maybe they see Messiah as being figuratively anointed by God.again, to try and illustrate the original point here, people who put "by god" as a statement of action cannot be atheists.
Quote:Since Christian atheism seems to be a serious group, and they prefer to be called Christians, whatever. Let them have that label. It's not like other Christians deserve it better than them.Agreed, and this is the very first thing I said on the subject. That doesn't mean though, that the name has any context beyond it's own borders. We can't use the "christian" or their "atheist" in the same way that we use the others. There were simpler, and more accurate options available to them.......
