Nope, you could call yourself an elephant, but then that wouldn't make you an elephant now would it?

Do some research about how the Christians came to be called Christians. It was long before there was the organized religion of Christianity. Followers of Jesus Christ were first called Christians in the greek city of Antioch, because the followers of Jesus manifested the character and works of Jesus in their daily lives.

Man has made Christianity into a religion, but really Christianity is about a personal relationship with the person of Jesus Christ that ultimately transforms the individual into the image of Christ. It is not a transformation that takes place in a instant, but over time as the individual gives more and more of themselves to Christ.

I could not call Obama a Christian because I do not know enough about him, and neither does anyone else here. His life must demonstrate the character of Jesus before I will call him a Christian. Words are cheap, actions that demonstrate character must be the yardstick by which a real Christian is measured.

I personnally would not have subjected myself and family for one minute to the hate and bigotry that the Rev. Wright demonstrated. This is one of those things that demonstrates character, and Obama failed this little test as far as I am concerned.
