I have often wondered this.

I recall being told years ago from a very good minister (Church of Scotland) that Christianity comes in all shapes and forms.
Most importantly that you believe and follow God, try to live as you believe he would expect you to.
You don't have to be in God's house to worship him, nor do you have to stand in the middle of a shopping centre harassing strangers to "come and join you".
In my opinion, I am a Christian, but I don't go to church every week, I don't force religion or my beliefs down anyone's throat. I encourage my children to go to Sunday School, but never force them to. Have several bibles at home if they want to "check anything out" themselves.
I try to teach them right from wrong and hope they will respect others and themselves.

Being a Christian means living for Christ. Being saved, by asking for forgiveness of your sins and having him come into your heart. Being a TRUE christian means trying to live your life as close as possible to the commandments of God.

Hate mongering, molesting children, mass genocide...just a few words that comes to mind when I hear that word (and Islam). Now rate this thumbs down and prove me right.

The love of Jesus Christ as OUR SAVIOR, and the willingness to do His word.

For starters, believing in Christ.
