  14. In article <pmpusbob.722074983@vincent1.iastate.edu>, pmpusbob@iastate.edu (Christian M Charlebois) writes:
  15. =    "BTW, about summing up Christianity into one description, of course its
  16. =possible.  There has to be one decribing characteristic that defines a 
  17. =Christian.  Something with which we can say "he's a Christian and he's not".
  18. =For me it is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as savior.  I think a lot of
  19. =Christians would agree with me."
  20.  
  21. StM points out, "And a lot wouldn't.  For example, those who try to dissociate
  22. their religion from the Crusades or the Inquisition with the claim, "But they
  23. weren't REAL Christians."
