Ok, paintballer, it sounds like you're associating communism with terrorism. :| There is a difference. Totally unrelated. Communism was what Lenin and Stalin followed during WWII and afterwards if relating it to a historical world event helps jog your memory. If not, a brief summary of it is that everyone shares what they get equally, so like in WWII, economically, it was horrible in Russia. So they figured, why not be poor together? :P My Communist summary isn't the best, but I think it's at least somewhat accurate.
Oh and Talo, you said women are objects? Er, a little sexist? A girl comes along and she won't like that too much.
The actual definition for Christian is: believing in Christ and his teachings. So yes if you believe that Jesus was God and died for us and you except then you will be a Christian.

Um... I thought God was God and Jesus was a "rofit" of God.

The trinity consists of God the Father God the son (Jesus) and God the holy spirit. Graham I can not force you into beleiving God but when I can tell you is that it is true and you NEED Jesus as your savior. If the rapture does happen in our life time Remember this [b]There is a second chance you still can get to heaven by Jesus. YOU REALLY DO NEED HIM
I'm agnostic. If you don't know what that means, look it up or I'll say it's basically I don't care about religion at all:
...
Do you even know your own religion? Agnostics are people who acknoledge a precence of a God...but don't bother with following his teaching or choosing a God from one religon.
Furthermore agnosticism is not a religion; it suspends all religious claims. There are a number of terms that may possibly encompass your description, such as unitarianism or universalism, or even pantheism and deism, but certainly not agnosticism.
So many forms of agnosticism I assumed he was one type of the below when he was a diffrent type. Hmmn mabye he should classify next time. ---
Agnosticism can be subdivided into several subcategories. Recently suggested variations include:
Strong agnosticism (also called "hard," "closed," "strict," or "absolute agnosticism" â"the view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of a deity or deities and the nature of ultimate reality is unknowable by reason of our natural inability to verify any experience with anything but another subjective experience. A strong agnostic would say, "I cannot know whether a deity exists or not, and neither can you." Weak agnosticism (also called "soft," "open," "empirical," or "temporal agnosticism" â"the view that the existence or nonexistence of any deities is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable, therefore one will withhold judgment until/if any evidence is available. A weak agnostic would say, "I don't know whether any deities exist or not, but maybe one day when there is more evidence we can find something out." Apathetic agnosticism (also called Pragmatic agnosticism) â"the view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic anyway.[citation needed] Agnostic atheism â"the view of those who do not claim to know of the existence of any deity, and do not believe in any.[8] Agnostic theism (also called "religious" or "spiritual agnosticism" â"the view of those who do not claim to know of the existence of any deity, but still believe in such an existence. Søren Kierkegaard believed that knowledge of any deity is impossible, and because of that people who want to be theists must believe: "If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe." (See Knowledge vs. Beliefs.) Ignosticism â"the view that a coherent definition of a deity must be put forward before the question of the existence of a deity can be meaningfully discussed. If the chosen definition isn't coherent, the ignostic holds the noncognitivist view that the existence of a deity is meaningless or empirically untestable. A.J. Ayer, Theodore Drange, and other philosophers see both atheism and agnosticism as incompatible with ignosticism on the grounds that atheism and agnosticism accept "a deity exists" as a meaningful proposition which can be argued for or against. An ignostic cannot even say whether he/she is a theist or a nontheist until a better definition of theism is put forth.[9][dubious â" discuss]
