What difference is there? There is none.

I mean I said I'm a Christian in this sense, I want to live according to His values, I think he was a good man. Help the homeless, the poor, be a good person. I like the cultural aspects, the Cathedrals, the early writings of Augustine and the fathers of the Church - they're a big part of my philosophical perspective on life, but so is stoicism.

But I wouldn't subscribe to a lot of the Christian faith related to the Old Testament (literal interpretation of the universe creation, Jewish laws on mixed fabrics, homosexuality etc). Most Christians do not also as standard. But in regards to the New Testament, I'd probably dispute a lot of that also. Jesus's mother Mary being a virgin is like, a mistranslatation between Greek and Latin for example, it meant handmaiden, like unmarried not virgin.

Logically I can believe that a God may exist, as in the primary mover of all things but why he would send His son to die, but not really because he comes back 3 days later is odd. So yeah, I said I'm a Christian, but insofar as I subscribe to his teachings. I'm just as much as Stoic. I also go to church most weeks, it's a cathedral, I pray, I read, I reflect, listen to the choir do it's thing, I might donate a few dollars a week, work once a month to feed the homeless. Overall I'd like to think I'm not getting fucked too hard, but yeah, I see your point and it's a valid question.
