You write:
"all words have meanings and when you use the word religion, Christianity does not fall with in the definition of religion."
Below is just one definition from the merriam-webster dictionary. Putting Christianity in the group of religions does not make it wrong or a bad thing. You can believe its not a religion if you want but by all accounts mankind has, through thousands of years of studying, creating and describing language and social behavior, defined Christianity as a religion. The sky is blue dude. Don't let anyone tell you different. Blue is defined as "of the color blue". Dispute it all you want. Blue is the color blue and the sky is a hue of that color. It is how we describe it. Everything has a definition. Its OK. Part of what defines me is that I'm opinionated. Regardless of how I feel about that it remains part of the definition.
A little disclaimer because some on craigslist take things waaaaay out of context and get super pissed when a countering opinion is presented.
I try to incorporate Christian values in my daily life and at no time wrote any of this in anger or in an attempt to demean any Christians. Just trying to present some info to the debate but somebodys going to get pissed anyway. But like I wrote earlier I am opnionated and can't help myself. Are there any support groups for this affliction? Being opinionated, not Christianity. I have to write this because somebody might take the previous sentence out of context.
