Then “x” means nothing. It’s just an arbitrary label someone chose but carries no further content. It’s no different than “identifying as” gibberish.

A Christian is someone who identifies as a Christian.

This is sound, but this identification is only a partial condition that works alongside all the other aspects of being Christian, such as belief, praxis, etc. But at the same time it still IS condition necessary to being Christian.

Only if the definition of x means that.

See I have to question this. Some people don’t like labels, while still adhering to them
>I believe in God and accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior, but I wouldn’t call myself a Christian
Okay fine, but by definition that’s what you are regardless of if you identify as such

It's a rabbit. Duck beaks don't look like that. Neither do duck heads.

I agree. Self-identification hardly means anything without some objective base

It describes an empty identity like a database schema with only an id field. You could have just said x. It's a reference id like a serial number with no meaning. The idea is to formally remove all meaning from the label but then add new associated meanings and reshape perceived reality.
