This is, again, a question of terms definition. We can argue on this
subject infinitely. HR, as can be seen from the context, spoke about
<Christianity>=<teachings of Jesus>, and the latter, according to her,
are not identical to doctrines of hordes of Christian churches around.

Well, you may appeal for a HPB-HR dictionary if you have difficulties
in analyzing context, but don't ask me for its ISBN. ;-)

Maybe it's not really appropriate for me to reply to this, since I'm
not that kind of a follower, but I see very little sense in studying
confused and sometimes even apparently incorrect texts and thus
wasting time when there are quite a few abundant sources of physically
verifiable information. That's the initial reason for avoiding
"others", while for those who need to have a faith it turns to an
incomprehensible but holy "ban".
