33. I spent the past few days with a friend's family
and one of them was a right-winger aunt who likes to declare about who is Christian and who isn't, with quite a bit of certainty too.

The only thing people on all sides seem to have in common is that everyone is declaring "only good people can be Christians. They aren't really Christians because they aren't good enough. But I am. I'm Better than them."

Nobody states that last part, 'I'm Better than them" But it's there. "Christianity is mine, and for people like me. We're better than those supposed Christians."

I wonder who is really saintly enough to really be a Christian everyone would agree upon. Are there any actual Christians anywhere in the world, or just lots of people who are all "not-Chistians" of some kind in someone else's eyes, walking around claiming to be Christians?
