I can't state this any more plainly: I'm NOT discussing Christianity on paper - I AM discussing Christianity in practice. If someone calls themselves a Christian then that is who I am discussing. The fact that they are not "true" Christians? I agree with you, they really aren't.

And, it's completely irrelevant. I am not arguing the "concept of" Christianty.
