I don't deny that they call themselves Christians. I just don't see why you think they should be taken seriously. Just like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The point you seem to be missing is if you remove God from Christianity there not much left of it.
However, I think the people I am talking about should be taken just as seriously as any other person claiming to be Christian and for the exact same reasons.
You on the other hand, I do not take seriously because you show no signs of actually believing any of the nonsense you spout. I think you are actually an atheist.

Actually I don't lack belief in God, you do. But then again if you think I am an atheist you probably have no idea what an atheist is to start off with.

Keeping that in mind, would you say you have an objective standard of morality by which you can judge whether or not something is morally right or wrong?
