I don't think that being a Christian means the same to everyone. It is clear that you and Greg or e have some different philosophical perspectives. My best friends are both self-described Christians (though, they are more like my mother the Presbyterian). One IS a Presbyterian. It's funny that I'm presumably lumped in with "God Haters". I'm an agnostic. I have a funny religion that I've come to accept over the years, but it doesn't really reach the level of belief. I wouldn't and can't say that it is absolutely true. There is no specific dogma other than to say that most things are connected, even electrons and people, and that intelligence is most likely an emergent phenomenon. My God (if I could call it that) is that of Spinoza. It seems likely to me that Jesus as a person, if such a person existed, would have been a scholar. His disciples refer to him as Rabbi, though I don't know if he was ordained. It probably doesn't matter because most modern liberal Christians aren't orthodox and believe that continuous reinterpretation is required to have any meaning that is relevant to modern America.
