You can not claim to be anything you want to be as there are 'rules' governing belonging to any group. Can I be black? No. I don't have any known ancestors that are black. Can I be Christian? No, I reject Jesus as Messiah. Can I be Muslim? No, I reject Mohammed as a prophet. Can I be Pagan? No, I'm a religious Jewish. Each of those groups have rules to say who can belong and who can not. If I violate the rules, especially if the rule is a 'major' one, then there's no chance of belonging. > Exactly home boy!
