If you follow your faith and not false prophets, live and practice the fundamentals of that faith, then you're a Christian. <br /><br />If you live a life in violation of it, you are a "so-called" Christian. Like committing adultery every week but going to confession, say your Hail Marys and then wipe the slate clean, only to do it again and again. Yeah, you're not supposed to. But plenty of Catholics live that way. <br /><br />Christians that lie, steal, covet, commit adultery. <br /><br />Jesus said love thy neighbor as thyself. Either these people don't love themselves very much or they aren't Christians. You have to RESPECT and care for others or you're not a Christian. <br /><br />And you don't have to be Christian to practice these so-called Christian principles. They are the base of all faiths. To be kind, generous, thoughtful, helpful, caring, loving. <br /><br />All faiths agree that lying, stealing and killing are BAD and if you do them, you're not faithful. <br /><br />Maybe instead of calling them "so-called" Christian we should call them "faithless" Christians. Because there is a lot more to Christianity than just believing in Jesus and God. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-56150980854087188432017-02-24T14:50:40.386-09:002017-02-24T14:50:40.386-09:00Having been raised Atheist it is just the way thin...Having been raised Atheist it is just the way things are for me and I just can't find it in me to understand those that have "faith".<br /><br />It only takes a generation to deprogram; hopefully we see more of that because religion is causing a whole host of problems, as it has ever since it raised its ugly head.<br /><br />Freedom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-64259308285562103012017-02-24T14:43:47.304-09:002017-02-24T14:43:47.304-09:00Right On, Beaglemom!Right On, Beaglemom!Lelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-13791720700449900122017-02-24T13:12:44.343-09:002017-02-24T13:12:44.343-09:00I think we should take the pope's warning to h...I think we should take the pope's warning to heart.

Well, we had a contractor who was very proud to have been a member of that march, and who was a 'devout Xtian'. HE TOOK US TO THE CLEANERS! If anyone has seen the video, 'The Money Pit', then you know what we went through with that guy. We finally were able to fire him, but unfortunately, we had paid him quite a big sum of money (we were inexperienced, and it was our first house and first remodel). He went on to swindle several older people, too, and one day the cops showed up at our house to ask about what we had gone through. He had been OK until we hired him (he was listed with the BBB), and he had virtually no insurance (a total of $6000 worth, so nobody got any money back from him) No idea, if he ever got caught and jailed for what he did to us and others. <br />Good Xtian - NOT!!!

Ever since he became Pope, I've been impressed by this man. Despite his office, he at least attempts to be humble. He refused a lot of the traditional, opulent perks that popes tend to have. He refused the huge ceremony after he was chosen, & wanted to live in the same place he did as a Cardinal.<br /><br />I remember him saying about gay people, (paraphrased) "Who am I to judge them? Jesus calls us to love." <br /><br />I saw a video on YouTube of him that I will never forget. It was shaky, unedited, obviously filmed by a regular person with a phone. It showed the pope's motorcade passing through a rural area. Lots of black cars, BMWs, I believe, for the security team. Then, one blue Ford Focus, with Pope Francis in the back seat waving at people who had gathered to watch. Among those were about 3 adults who had brought an obviously very disabled woman there. I think they had signs written to him, asking him to stop and bless her. <br /><br />He did! The reaction of the three was so touching. They were at first screaming with excitement as he got out. He came toward them and touched the three, held their hands. They calmed & then he did touch the disabled woman & blessed her. I remember one of the 3 was an elderly woman. Perhaps the mother of the disabled woman. She cried with gratitude. He then regarded the group one last time. They stepped back, with effort. And we're calling after him as he got back in his car. I think they were thanking him."<br /><br />Awesome guy. I know he won't reform the entire Catholic Church. Who could? But he's setting a wonderful example.

This is why I try harder than you to do right. I want to look myself in the mirror every night and know that I tried my damnedest to do my best that day.
