Not seeing a lot of serious answers so far.
You call yourself Christian if Jesus is your Lord and Savior. Whether you are Republican is not a factor.
I thought this was obvious to thinking people.
It can be a little confusing when those of us who are not religious hear that a person is a "Christian" but then observe their behaviors.
There is a regular dichotomy there that can be somewhat dissonant for "thinking people".

Funny that you usually have no such dissonance for any other world religion. Isn't that something? Did you ever examine that? Other religions can certainly have their holy men and women and they are revered by unbelievers.
But Christians run hospitals, give to the poor in record numbers, go abroad to serve....nope. still, never good enough.
There is a reason for that.
I'm sure you would hate it.
