Easy - he doesn't. I guess that means he isn't a Christian, right?

Find where I said that and post it. Read my first posting, and you will (can) know my position.

Which raises the interesting question: how many Americans do you think are actually Christians? Can't be more than a couple million, especially since your literalist interpretation would seem to elimination every mainline Protestant denomination, and your theological hairsplitting probably condemns half the evangelical community as heathens. If there are so few real Christians, why should such a small minority dictate educational policy (the subject of the article at the top of the thread) to 300 million heathens? Or does the definition of Christian expand and contract with the needs of your argument, like some morally relative "is"?

Thank you for asking. You will find my answers in the following:

How Can I Know God?
Encouragement for New Christians
What Is Biblical Christianity?

Assuming those are serious questions from your heart, of course.

Your implication was clear enough: that one must beleive in the literal inerrant truth of the Bible to be a Christian, and that such a beleif is totally incompatible with evolution. (see post 70) Since the poster (scully, I think) had previouly stated his belief in both evolution and Christianity, your conclusion must be that he is not a Christian according to your definition of the term.

Nice website.
