The speed of light is not constant. A Light year is a measure of distance based on a constant, not time.

According to your definition of the word "Christian." According to their definition, they might be just fine.
Well, I can agree with that. I would say for purposes of this discussion, that my definition of Christian is one that believes that the Bible is true and is the word of God, and that Jesus is the ultimate blood sacrifice for every person's sin. (Whereas a Jewish person doesn't necessarily follow the last part, they generally agree on the first part.)
