Dear People of R&S on a scale of one to ten, how annoying do you find it...?
...when certain users (from all positions) use "theist" when their questions demonstrate they clearly only speaking of Christians, and use "Christan", when their questions demonstrate they are speaking about Creationist or biblical literalists?

Well a 9 for that .........
and a 10 for those who use the term "God" as if their god (as defined by their church doctrine) is the "only" god that can be called "God" ---
(I didn't explain that very well - but I bet you get my drift. )

I've tried specifying "Abrahamic theists" and "monotheists", but I get almost no replies and I guess most such theists don't know that they are.
I've tried getting round that by putting a sufficient description in the title, but then I've no room left for the question.
So I'm guilty of that, but only as a result of having to compromise what I really want to put :-(
