Blurring the lines.

I don't think any of us really care.

If someone wants to call themselves a Christian I don't see what business it is of mine to doubt or question them.

Actually I am asking because I would think that you all would not care, therefore when a Christians says a member of a group of people do not follow the faith, if you did not care you would take the Christian's word. But it seems you do have a dog in this race because when ever it comes up, you guys seem to take the role of the defender of the faith, and argue for the faith of one who does not follow the 'rules' of the religion.

We're on the side of logic. That you repeatedly pit yourself against it isn't any personal animus on our part. I'm not a Star Wars fan, but if you claimed that little trash can-looking robot was the villain, that would be a good way to get a comment out of me.

Then please explain why you all defend say a Mormon's right to be called a Christian?

For exactly the same reason we defend YOUR right to call yourself a Christian. It's a right. People get to choose how they identify and we owe it to them to take their word about what they are, unless we have a REALLY good reason to dispute it. If someone said they were a Christian atheist, I would at least entertain the notion and consider their reasoning. Although even if I disagree with someone's label for themselves, there's nothing I can do to make them identify differently to please me.
