Probably very well. What do you call a "Christian" who believes Jesus did some stuff but doesn't follow his teachings? Besides "superstitious", that is.

I suspect it's performative. Going to church, praying with others, these are performances. Doing the good deeds is what counts.

I don't understand how someone can believe that Jesus was divine and the son of God etc, but then choose to discard his teachings. That seems to me be far more damning than someone who does not believe in Jesus.
Hypocrite?
Is it one of those things where it doesn't mean what it obviously means? I gave up studying the Bible because there were too many of those for me to follow.

But it seems to me like it would be crazy hard to push a camel through a needle. Also, it's one of those things where I think the translation is a bit off. Apparently the word in Aramaic is said like "gamla" which does sound rather like camel, but also meant rope, which makes a lot more sense in context, though still pretty difficult to get through a needle.
