No, you're not. Christian is as Christian does, and you don't do Christian. You've picked a few "feel good" bits out, and added them to some imaginary "Jesus" who loves everyone no matter what they do.
A label isn't going to do you any good (according to the Bible):
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but
he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Then Jesus will look at you and say, "Meh":
Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
If you pick and choose which bits to believe because the others just don't "feel" true to you, what justification do have taking ANY of it seriously, including the basic message of a Jewish-born charismatic who was His own Father and who will send you to Hell forever for the sin that He gave you unless you believe that it was because He loved the world
that He killed everyone on it (and all the animals, birds, lizards, plants, trees, etc.) except for a 600-year old guy and his immediate family (who then repopulated the earth hmmm...) and that He brought Himself back from the "dead" (huh I thought He was supposed to be immortal now how the... you know whatever let's just go with this) to prove how much He loves us (at least that what's a book with an extremely shady and vague provenance [that handily claims to be its own proof] says)?
All you're doing is lending support to the truly
insane Bible-faithful members of your religion.
