if there is any christians going around killing people and just treating people badthere not christians at all so they shouldint be in that catagory at all 

One of my favorite -- pardon my choice of words -- idiotic excuses.  No.  Just plain no.  That's not how this works.

Define Christian and then tell my why your definition has authority.

you define christian and tell me why it dosint

Someone who proclaims themselves a Christian, holds the belief that Jesus Christ walked the Earth and is the son of God, holds the belief that Yahweh exists and intervenes in the universe.

the last time I saw the name Yahweh was on another forum and a rather interesting exchange with some identity xtian nazis....they spelled it Y-hw-h, citing that even the name was so holy that it was disrespectful to speak it or spell it out.

i think they should keep the public schools how they are

i mean the only time we use God is in the pledge of alliegence

many ppl dnt mind that

i mean i simply dont at all

thats the only real time we ever say God in public schools

barely do anything that has anything religious but only around the winter holidays

Okay sure if you want to have god in schools there could be a time for fiction. It should be optional though.

 I find it interesting to know that the church provided the education for all children. Many children had primers, but they used the Bible as well. Many times the school day would begin with a scripture. Kids learned such things as justification, sanctification as well as bible history. It wasn't until later on that the church relinquished education over to the government. Our schools were founded on teaching our children to have a relationship with God, and prayer in the schools.

when did christians start killing people if anything were the ones being killed and ambushed because of our views some christians in diffrent coutries have to read the bible  hidden in the fear that they will get murdered for reading it we get bashed because we dont believe in homosexuality , we get bashed for just planly beliving in god for that matter, if there is any christians going around killing people and just treating people badthere not christians at all so they shouldint be in that catagory at all 

How about the burning times how many people do you think your Christians killed for the sake of the word "witch"? If you know nothing about this please do your research!!  And most certainly allot of Christians are nothing more than hypocrites.

Everything else is arbitrary and opinionated, and changes greatly from Christian sect to Christian sect.  The things I listed are absolute requirements for reasonably labeling one's self a Christian.  You cannot be a Christian without accepting the that Jesus Christ was divine, that Yahweh exists, and without labeling yourself a Christian.  Anything else is irrelevant and up to the follower to decide.

But I see you haven't defined "Christian" yourself, so I'll continue to wait for your opposing definition and why some people aren't Christians according to you, even though they've met the criteria.
