Being Christian does not dictate your opinion, though. You're allowed to have opinions and draw conclusions that might differ from the Bible without it necessarily making you somehow unreligious. In most Christian communities, anyway - there are some more puristic views, I admit...

So any argument that goes "Being Christian, I must quote this as my personal opinion" is somewhat suspicious. Own your opinions and beliefs, don't make your religious background responsible - it's not.

Note: owning your opinions will grant you lots of respect, 'cause that implies you've done some thinking related to them. It's also OK to say "I think this is so, but I'm not sure". It's better than "I must believe this and never budge."
