NOTE ANSWER IS WITHIN MAGESTERIUM OF RELIGION OR [MOR]
It is possible for anyone to found a religion. Whether or not it gains world-wide acceptance such as New Age, Christanity, Judaism, Hinduism, or , you can still found a religion.
Christainity, let me see, it is founded upon the premise of testimony of people that we have little historical record outside the Bible. It works on an unconditional faith to all its tenents.
I once read that the founder of a certain religion - said the "Quickest way to get rich is to found your own religion". I will not state the religion here in case there is anybody from that religion. And that religion does pour in the money. And the founder is living it rich.
My personal opinion is that we all found our personal religions. How many people you do you that have combined many religions into one that means much to them. I have never met a Christain that was 100% Christain. NOTE I AM AN ATHEIST.

Nos482,
Thanks for supplying the name. I could not remember but it did make an impression on me when I was researching scientology.
I would agree, becuase if there was one God, then they would all be alike in their beliefs [basic beliegs]. I believe today that Christains today just take what they like out of the bible, and call it Christainity. And the rest they dismiss as being inaccurate so they do not have to live their lives like the whole Bible tells them to. Inconsistency. Hmnmm.
I do agree with your post.
Thanks for posting.

I believe if we define a Christain as the bible defines it, then no I have not met anyone 100% Christain.
If we define it loosely then no, even if we define it according to bible standards no.
Still looking for tha 100% Christain.
I may never find one.
