What does the term "Christian" mean to you? What reactions / responses come to mind?

Early usage of the term Christian “was a term of derision [contemptuous ridicule or mockery], a term placed upon Christ’s followers by their critics” (source).

Easton’s Bible Dictionary states: “Christian – the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. 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 but three times in the New Testament ( Acts 11:26 ; 26:28 ; 1 Peter 4:16 ).”

For those of you who identify other than Christian, what are you attitudes towards Christians? How do these attitudes affect your interactions with those who claim to be Christian?

For those of you who believe in God and Jesus, what one word or phrase would you use to describe your faith / religion? Are you comfortable continuing to use the term “Christian” to describe your faith considering the origin of the word and how Christians have been perceived over the years?
