Whoa! I would argue that the opinion of "Many Christian groups" is of
no value, whatsoever, in determining who is a Christian [a person pro-
fessing belief in Jesus as the Christ *OR* in the religion based on the
teachings of Jesus - Webster]. Hitler's Germany and the Crusaders are
examples of "Christians" that I am sure Jesus would have disavowed; so
much for the opinion of self-proclaimed Christians.

Haven't we seen enough of this discussion?
