Default Who are the Non-Christains ?

I am a non-christain, with strong Charismatic tendencies. I am curious to see what other non-christains we have here. I'd like to start a non-christain self-development accountability group.

Don't most of us here profess to be non-Christian, or part of a paradigm that doesn't observe such labels. . .?

Zen Buddhist here. What do charismatic tendencies have to do with anything?

It seems to me infinitethoughts was just messing with the Christians as always. A recent poster just asked if there were any Christians around to talk to about PD with his/her thread Who Are the Christians (maybe not the exact title) and then IF put this one up.

At least you're not hypersensitive about it. That wouldn't be good at all.

What's a Unitarian?

How do you intend this to be an accountability group based on non-Christian-ness?

Is this part of the non-Christian doctrine? To view Christians as wanting to cure sinners?

Is this being accountable for having a non-Christian view point?

This reminds me of Monty Python's Life of Brian. Let's set up a group of people who are into Oneness, separate from the people who aren't!

And if anyone in our group slips up and starts showing non-non-christian tendencies, we can jump all over their butt.
