"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
Are the Christianities full of Humpty Dumpties ...?

Well, nobody seems to know clearly what "God" means. It's a nonsense syllable.

Some followers push Humpty Dumpty over themselves.
In their effort to rebuild, they leave out the pieces that are distasteful, add pieces that don't have anything to do with the original, and when finished, claim that's a Humpty Dumpty that can inspire.
Of course we end up with dozens if not hundreds of Humptys and none of them are really Dumpty.
If you point out the missing pieces and the non-original parts, you'll be branded a literalist.
The hobbled together Humpty means just what they choose it to mean—neither more nor less.
How can one possibly disagree?

Quite the opposite. Humpty dumpty means to have no concern whatsoever. You just go along with whatever that happens!
That's not Christians, for sure! The 10 Commandments and Golden Rule stand firm with every true Christian since evil and Christianity do not mix, especially regarding human worth as God's creation is holy and God's Temple in each and every one of us and treating other people, especially the religious, with respect and decency given exactly the 10 Commandments and The Golden Rule.
Why not look to Atheists? They have no particular ethics (program) and are not humanists either apparently. Maybe that's them?

I'm cool! 
- Stronger Religion every day! Also by "mathematical Religion", the eternal forms, God closing the door on corrupt humanity, possibly!
