Sure.
There are actually several problems with Zeena's statement.
First and foremost, Christians can't decide on a definition of "Christian". One only has to look at history to see the truth in this statement. Feel free to do a search of this forum for the "true" Christian threads.
Second, you are claiming to recieve instruction from a being that you can't prove exists. That my friends, is a very dangerous thing.
Third, a simple word: interpretation. What good is God's word when a countless multitude of followers interprets that word in countless ways?
So here's the problem...if I claim that there are Christians who lie and make claims that weren't given from God, you can claim they aren't TRUE Christians. See problem above. If I claim the divine instruction a Christian claims to have received from God, you can't prove where the instruction actually came from. Even if I accepted a message from God as divine, you would still have Christians disagreeing over the message. It's a vicious cycle.
First and foremost..
Definition of Christian
the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus ("little Christ's!"). It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16).

You claim God does not exist, and Christians, as well as pretty much the rest of the world says He does.. Why should the onus of proof be on us? Hrmm?

Faith and Reason are like the shoes on your feet. You can go much further with both, then with one. Research is the highest form of adoration.
Archaeological findings continue to confirm rather than refute the accuracy of the Bible. For example, an archeological find in northern Israel in August '93 confirmed the existence of King David, author of many of the Psalms in the Bible. The Dead Sea Scrolls and other archaeological discoveries continue to substantiate the historical accuracy of the Bible.
How's about
conscience huh?
Will you now proclaim there to be no such thing?
That a word, aptly named is derogatory?
Or will guilt take hold of you if you try?
Will you then quench your conscience?
