Reply #182: i agree with you

i am not a christian, but jesus is an excellent role model for what we should all be aspiring to.

not long ago, someone asked me if i was a christian. i was offended, partly because i live in a very christian community, yet i see a lot of intolerance and racism. i also don't subscribe to a structured religion. anyway, i simply said no, so as not to get into a heated debate.

but after i thought about it for a couple of days, i saw that it was a compliment! that person thought i was kind, tolerant, fair, helpful and compassionate. they thought i was a true christian! what an honor.

i find that most christians do not practice what jesus taught. they can't rightfully call themselves christians.

thanks for clarifying who the target is when people seem to put jesus down.
