Aaaand I hit "post" beore I meant to. D'oh.

First, nowhere did I say you had to "renounce Jesus." Please stop trying to put words in my mouth.

Next, please re-read this part of the post you replied to:

"It is very possible for you to say you believe in God without throwing the Catholic / Christian / whatever label on yourself."

It seems that you've fallen for the bullshit of Christianity, the belief that you HAVE to label yourself as a Christian. That only a Christian can worship God / Jesus. During my religious phase, I didn't label myself as any religion. I just said that I believed that God existed.


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

And I can do that without applying a deity to it.
