If you go back to your original post, you did not limit your comments to what you personally believe but what "we" think is an acceptable definition of a christian.

I think you misread his post.  Berkut referred to a generally accepted meaning of Christian which is, by all lights, correct.  Christianity is about belief in the divine nature of the Christ and his mission on earth.  I don't see why anyone would even want to call themselves Christian if they don't believe in the divinity of the Christ.  The very word "christ" itself has no meaning if you don't believe in his divinity and his anointment by his god for his task.

Why should he care if he is mocked? And yes mocked is the right word by calling his beliefs 'quasi-religious' and that he 'pretend(s) to be Christian'.#

(s) as [ s ] is strikethrough.

I concur with Garbon here
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
