There IS a War on Christianity

70. I take people at their word

The language that makes up religious narrative is too vague for there to be a single simple true interpretation. I knew a woman who claimed that satanism and some expressions of Christianity are one and the same. I had to admit that she had a point. An athlete's prayer to win is also a prayer that someone else will lose. A prayer to win a war is a prayer for people to die.
If someone calls themself a Christian and uses interpretations of the bible that I see as improbable, it doesn't negate their self identification. Because they can argue their point. The original authors are not here to clarify, so we're stuck with what brought about so many different denominations.
I don't say this out of respect for people who use religion in ways that I think are flawed. Only to say that by nature, it is too easy to reinterpret, misinterpret, malinterpret, etc. I am suspicious of claims to a single truth about something that will always be arguable.
