You think individual Christians get to define Christianity in the currents of socio-political debate? hehehe yeah right. Likewise, do you believe you are untainted by all of your comrades in arms?
Just as you ping each other to the threads identifying the latest murderous opressive theocracy that is a Christmas card on the desk of some tyrannical civil servant, so you can parrot the same two arguments (funding and relativism) over and over, you collect an identity.
You think all Christians don't get identified as Taliban-like hate mongers praying for the next theocracy so we can MAKE you all go to church? Does the fact that even though I'm a Christian and I couldn't give a giant rat's behind wether you fry in hell or not mitigate the negative identification? Not hardly.
Like I wrote in an earlier post, I understand your pathological need to constantly remind us all what atheism isn't. With your dictionary type definitions of atheism, you desparately want to avoid being identified by the incessant mantra of the modern internet atheist. Well, good luck with that.
What makes you so special? You can rail against it all you like but in the end, perception is reality.
I would love to define Christianity, but I'm not so arrogant as to believe it will actually work.
