I invited her to join Yahoo answers R&S, but she says that she won't be considered a "real" Christian. Here's what she wrote in reply to my invitation:
>I just don’t know, I’ve had so many bad experiences with other Christians telling me >that I’m not Christian, but I think they are just too caught up in dogma and doctrine. >Being a Christian, to me, is not about being a member of a church or following the >doctrine of a church but in my reverent attitude about God and His natural wonders, and >honoring Jesus as the very BEST Teacher, the BEST Guide for human behavior.
>God is the original Creator and His works are sacred and profound. Look around you at >the structure of plants or look at the amazing aspects of any kind of life and you will see >God there. God created all that. God created everything, so everything is His work, and >everyone is His favored child.
>God would not be God if He were partial to any life over another life, any human over >another human. He created them all.
>And make no mistake about it God is material, not immaterial. To think that God is not >material means you actually don’t believe in God, because then God is a nothing.
>Now as to Jesus I of course cannot believe in the story about His birth; it no more truth >than the story of Minerve being generated in the brain of Jupiter, but I believe in Him as >the Great Reformer of humanity, the Teacher of *genuine* doctrines.
>I follow as best I can Jesus’s teachings, and I have a deep worship of God as the >Creator. Why can’t other Christians understand that I am a Christian too?
