defining the Christian atheist

A churched Christian atheist denies actualized meaning and power of certain Christ's sayings by regulating them to the ineffectual limbo of metaphor. The church is more real than Christ's teachings and occupies a greater space in their speech. While they may profess to believe that Christ rose from the dead among other to us miracles, they cannot stretch that belief far enough to cover what Christ says about us. For instance, if you believe, casting a mountain into the sea. The only conclusion one can draw from this is that they not only do not have faith to do that, they do not have faith to even believe Christ actually meant what he said. They then qualify, dilute, distract, or otherwise avoid the meaning of what He said. If someone does not believe in all of Christ's sayings, then I would call that person a Christian, but an Christian atheist because he is more than just an atheist, he is a luke warm Christian who Jesus said he would spew out of his mouth. This unbelief often extends to the healing stripes of Jesus and denies the power to believe what Jesus actually said about healing as real.
