Yeah. Christians call themselves a lot of things. Some of them seem silly to me as well. But they can call themselves anything they want, what difference will that make to me- except it tells me a little bit about themselves right up front.
One thing I did notice about what you were telling me about yourself is that you are one angry person! Why care about it so much? I figure it's because it means more to you than what you are communicating. If you took a moment just to consider yourself, you might find that behind all that anger, some of this stuff is getting to you. I was the same way, so I can relate.
There was a time when I wanted to kill myself. I hated myself so much that I wanted to find a way to kill myself without making a mess to clean up. I can tell you, I was pretty messed up!
But I finally decided to give God a chance with me. So I put myself on His path. Now He would either crush me or lift me up. At least, that's the way I understood it - I didn't even know if He was there in the first place.
But what did I have to lose? I was going to shock myself to death, or knife myself to death, or jump off a cliff near Torrance Beach. But I thought that there was a small chance that if there was a God, He might help me to stop hating myself so much, or at least make things seem clearer to me.
So I trusted Him, even though I did not know if there was anything to give myself to. To make a long story short, my 'Born Again' experience was not normal. God let me know that He really is there.
Now I don't go around calling myself a Born Again Christian, but I know that I am Born Again. It's because of His Spirit that I was able to overcome those terrible times.

The term coined "born again" is over 40 years old. But the Bible clearly talks about being a new creation and experiencing "rebirth". There were many term similar to "born again" much much much earlier in history.
But you can only know that if trust a source better than wikipedia.
I am a Christian. I do not lie. And I do not follow an evil cult. Please do not lump all Christians into the same molding. Check my questions/answers before you judge me at least.

It's just more Christian propaganda. They think worshiping a godman hanging on a cross somehow "cleans" them and makes them perfect. The Emperor was right to throw those hypocrites to the lions for entertainment.

We call ourselves born again because Jesus told us we must be born again.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
