I am, myself, not a Christian, but...

A "Christian" is someone who believes the basics of Christianity--that Jesus was the messiah, that he was crucified and resurrected, etc. Seems to me that anyone who finds spiritual value in those beliefs has every right to those teachings.

Not to mention that I can certainly see the appeal of loving your neighbor, turning the other cheek, and doing unto others.

I don't think you have any right to tell people who believe those things, and yet don't endorse the behavior of people at the top of certain denominations, to renounce Jesus. I mean, please.
