Interesting position.

Opponents of the pro-life position are described by me as “pro-abortion” because I think that is an accurate description. I don’t view it as a pejorative description. Those who support abortion object to such description and demand that they be described as “pro-choice” and their opponents as “anti-choice.” Regrettably, the mainstream media has, largely, accomodated their demands.

Opponents of the Mormon Church are called “anti-Mormons” because, that is an accurate description. According to the dictionary, “anti” is an adjective meaning “opposed.” You are “opposed,” to the Mormon Church, aren’t you? There is nothing pejorative about the expression; rather, it is an accurate description.

Okay, then it is okay for me to call you anti-Christian orthodoxy....or anti-christ for short?

Using that logic then...

Opponents of the Orthodox Christian Church are called “anti-Christians” because, that is an accurate description. According to the dictionary, “anti” is an adjective meaning “opposed.” You are “opposed,” to the 'other' Christian Churchs, aren’t you?

Therefore being Anti-Christ would fit quite well; wouldn't it??
