"Same way we consider Catholicism and Protestantism to be part of Christianity, we are the branch that is correct :)."

Sorry, but that's not the way it works. You can't deny basic Biblical doctrine, even down to the nature of God, and call yourself Christian. Believe whatever you want, but to be Christian (as Protestants and Catholics ARE) you have to go with the doctrine that exists instead of making up your own. No matter how much you say it won't make it so.

And as for Romney, I don't care who votes for him. But I'm not going to go along with the campaign to suddenly whitewash him and make him "conservative". He's an abortion pusher and a homosexual lover; that is his history and his record, no matter how inconvenient that might be for you. It's only been a few weeks since he said that "people of the same gender who LOVE each other" should be able to adopt children. Again, if you're comfortable casting a vote for that, go for it. But I will have nothing to do with him.

“Sorry, but that’s not the way it works. You can’t deny basic Biblical doctrine, even down to the nature of God, and call yourself Christian.”

Being Christian does not require subscribing to the orthodox view. Look up the word Christian in the dictionary and you won’t see a requirement to buy into the trinity or the creeds.

What we reject is orthodox Christianity’s interpretation of the Bible from which they derive doctrines about the nature of God etc. that we hold as being incorrect. Nor are our doctrines ‘made up’ but revealed by God.
