There's no such thing as Christianity, only brand loyalty. Can you be a "Star Wars fan" and hate the prequels? Or the sequels? Of course you can.
So what does it mean to be a "Star Wars fan" at all, if you dislike a third or more of its main content?
Well, it means you practice *performative fandom*.
And that's all Christianity ever was, or will ever be. You can't believe what you don't understand, and Christians don't seek to understand the doctrine. They just want to belong. They've got FOMO for heaven. "Look at me, I'm one of us! I wear our club's symbol!"
The only meaningful thing about "being Christian" is that you will definitely fall for a correctly formatted scam (Q, flat earth). There's no other behaviors or moral beliefs that set Christians apart from the masses.
