Well lately, I'm re-evaluating that label. Anymore, it's a term applied to those that go around preaching hellfire and damnation and I can't get behind that.

But generally, the set of beliefs I hold as a moral standard most resemble the ones held by followers of Christ, hence "Christian".

The problem isn't with the "label", the problem is the perception that ALL Christians believe exactly the same thing and think and/or worship exactly the same way. The problem is overgeneralization.

I don't think Bush is "called of God" any more than I am.
