asaris, i agree that my definition of christianity doesn't really provide much along the lines of usefulness, but that's kind of the point. Christianity is a pretty general term, which is one reason that discussions about it tend to become problematic; everyone has a different idea concerning the specifics of what it means to be a christian. But there is such diversity in christian thought, that the only real common thread is a belief in christ. If you'll pardon the pun, the devil is in the details. Anyone who would speak on behalf of all christians about any subject aside from the most general of them, is speaking in error- even the apostle's creed is different from denomination to denomination, though the basic idea is pretty constant.
