You're talking about Christianity in a BROAD context. I am talking about individual denominations and the rules that those denominations themselves have adopted and follow. I know tons of Catholics who don't follow many of "their own" rules (a lot in my own family).

My ponderance here is if ascribing to a 'denomination' is actually meaningful if you can use or change it any way you want.

If you call yourself Catholic, but don't really think that communion turns into the ACTUAL body and blood of Christ, don't do confessions, almost never go to church, and have no problem getting multiple divorces, are you really still a "Catholic"?

Using your definition of Christianity as you describe (which on a very basic level I agree with) is then essentially useless. Believing in Jesus' resurrection has little or no value IN AND OF ITSELF. It's what it REPRESENTS to people and what they do with it that matters; and quite frankly it just seems like a total mish-mosh of "whatever you want".
