That's what I'm saying, you'll tell me. I mean, like in the case of the OP, you'll be intentionally selective about what you decide to use in your determination, but at least you'll be dogmatic about it, huh?

Of course this whole thread devolves into the standard stupid word change where the word Christian has devolved to mean "good" in some sense that is not well-defined rather then one who professes a belief in Christ.

You have to lower the standard of Christian pretty low to include Joseph Smith or Brigham Young, even without the usual doctrinal standards people try to use to define a Christian.
