“A Christian in many American circles, for example, means 'right-wing, gun-toting fanatic who hates Democrats.' As such, a pacifist Democrat who called himself a Christian in those circles, would be lying, albeit unwittingly.

Yes and no - it depends on what Christian means to you. . . But labels are almost impossible to shed.”
