No Christian anything

Did I ever tell you about the guy I read about who thought he wanted to start a Christian coffeehouse to try and reach people in his neighborhood for Christ until he realized that they already had a coffeehouse right up the street and perhaps he should just go there? Don't you like this guy? Don't you wish he'd been around years ago before a whole enterprise of Christian stuff was invented that has only proven to isolate Christians from the world rather than help them be a part of it?
In fact, I think it is high time to declare anything that has to use the adjective "Christian" to describe itself is most likely not.
The best way to keep this straight is to simply remember that "Christian" is a noun. Only people can be Christian.
Try going through your day noticing all the times you use Christian as an adjective to describe something other than a person. I bet you will be surprised. The only Christians I know are people. Let's try and weed out these artificial renderings of faith and re-establish the noun of belief. There is no such thing as a Christian anything.
