It depends on how you define it. I believe my mindset and conduct are a lot more in accord with the teachings of Jesus than a lot of self-proclaimed Christians. But I do not believe in the supernatural, and so I do not believe that Jesus performed miracles or died on the cross to save us from our sins.
My theology (such as it is) is probably closer to Taoism than anything else.
I should add that I do not agree with many of Jesus's followers, notably Paul, whose teachings (and conduct) in many cases are very different in both letter and spirit from those of Jesus himself.
are you a christian?
