17. For me, it's actions, not words

If you help the poor, look after the sick, and stand up for the prisoner and the oppressed, you're on your way.

I wouldn't say that, for example, Terry Jones, is not a "real Christian." I *might* say that his actions and words are unChristian, but that's not for me to decide.

What I would resent is that if I call myself Christian, that you assume that you know what I believe and do, and are upset if I don't fit into that little box.
