After 9/11 and "ist" becoming more common in our vocabulary..........as in "Islamist" which shoulders a negative connotation, and must upset allot of Muslims, I can understand why some Christians would be offended at being referred to as a Christianist. I remember KLP asking you for a description of Chritianist, don't remember your answer. Just believe that everyone can say what they wish, but must suffer the consequences if found to be too offensive by the rest of society. These experiments in word usage are instructive.........some times positive and sometimes negative. If they help increase understanding, then by all means, the experiment should continue. No doubt will.......been going on so long. ;)
