Genetically, there is more variation within "races" than between them. Just as with religion, membership of race is solely based on whether the person identifies with that label. Otherwise, it is a worthless concept.

To put all e.g. people who have responded "Baptist" under Christian is wrong not because they aren't Christian but because they haven't chosen to put "Christian" in their response. Why would people say "Baptist" if they don't want to be listed under Baptist?

Have you ever been to a church of a specific denomination, and understood why they call themselves a Baptist, Pentecostal, Charasmatic, or any of the other 5,000 denominations? Or are you just spouting nonsense having never gone to churches and talked to Baptists, or any other Christians?

It's kind of like arguing if your a PS3, X360 or Wii fan. Regardless of your take as to which is the best console of choice, you are still a gamer. Christianity is the same way. To argue against this shows your total lack of understanding of the Christian faith.

Better yet, why not ask those that posted 'Baptist' or any other specific denomination if they are Christians, too. I have a feeling they will say that they are

 

 

Fine, I will reduce my point to a single statement. If you still disagree, that's fine. I'm not saying they're not Christian! For the record, I've never attended a church, never learned Christian teaching of any kind beyond compulsory RE, and am not basing this on religion-specific logic. Here it is:

You should list people under the label they have posted because that's why they posted it.
