I agree, the reason for making the name of the religion "Christianity" is simple, and inseparable from what it actually teaches. I'm not advocating someone stay in the religion and just not call themselves Christians. This is pretty much all or nothing. To be consistent, it's necessary to either grovel in abject cult victimization or leave the religion outright. He has allowed no middle ground, and even comes right out and says in the passages I cited "you aren't my follower without 100%." "Whatever they may think of Christ's teachings" you say? This seems to imply someone can follow Jesus -- even consider him to be the god of the universe, which by definition is infinite in all perfections -- and at the same time disagree with him and/or not respect him. How does that work?
