Simply because I am not a literalist and as a former teacher, it was my responsibility to explain doctrine so new generations of Christians would have some better chance to understand and 'internalize' the Christian faith and simply because I bring these two parts to discussions of Christianity does not mean I am not Christian. Some might take the designation that way but it is not 'unorthodox' it is Unorthodox CHRISTIAN. As I said elsewhere, I am a Catholic, born, bred and educated: we are not literalists, we have a different take on the eucharist (ours is orthodox :+} than some other Christian denominations, and our good Pope John opened up the windows and let the fresh air in now almost 60 years ago. So we are ahead of the curve on what is actually orthodox.
So, there you go.
But regardless of my designation, I find it sad that it is some, not all, but indeed some of the 'Christians' - yourself included - who consistently forget to 'do unto others and not only not love but to use the good news of Jesus Christ to condemn to damnation those who they think are wrong or unworthy. Christians do not choose who counts as a neighbor and they don't get to decide when to love and when not to: it is all or, it appears that they simply have no idea what their own faith and their Christ is about.
