Did not know you got Orthodox christians. I thought all christians had the same beliefs.
-
I think you can. If people expect Christians to be uninteresting, joyless, uneducated rock-music hating etc , then I am very unorthodox. :-)
-
Most definitely and that goes for all the other religions as well.
-
I think so.
-
To me a Christian is a Christian.
-
you have unorthodox everything you want =)

At the same time, not possible. Just like it is impossible for Jesus (or anyone else for that matter) to be mortal and immortal (man and god).

Umm, yes. I am a great example. The thing is, 'Christian' means 'like Christ' or 'Follower of Christ'. The early Christians called themselves 'Followers of The Way'. 'Orthodox' or not, doesn't really matter. The real question is, from God or from humans- us? Religious separations (IE denominations) are not something God created or intended- they are our own creation. That's why, though I attend a Christian church, I only consider myself a 'Follower of The Way'. http://upptacka.net

I don't think so because this is not an easy part. You are saying that anyone give his or her life with out any purpose!

You could be Christian an not be a member of one particular Orthodox church. But there is no Christian church that call itself "Unorthodox".
