A Christian is a person who follows the teachngs and example of Jesus. That's it. That's all there is to it.

It has nothing to do with ceremonies invented centuries after the death of Jesus. It has nothing to do with wine, or wafers. It has nothing to do with folklore borrowed from figures in Greek literature, such as Apollonius. It has nothing to do with the Bible. It has nothing to do with baptism. It has nothing to do with the cross. It has nothing to do with special days, or special houses of worship. It has nothing to do with some kind of magical "being saved."

If you know what Jesus said and did, and if you emulate him and follow his teachings, you are a Christian.

Be modest and kind. Help others. Love them as you love yourself. Treat them as you wish to be treated by them. Return reason for hatred. Forgive your enemies. Follow the ten commandments. Use the Lord's Prayer.

Well, let's see. Christians can hate the sin. In so far as niggers sin, I guess Christians can hate them for it. Nobody really hates niggers for their skin color -- they are hated for their bad behavior. For their sins, to use the biblical term. As far as I can see, Christians not only can hate sinfulness, they are required to hate sinfulness. Jesus drove the money lenders out of the Temple with a scourge. I doubt he had love in his heart for them at that moment. He was hating their sin, and he was hating them for their sinfulness. But if they ceased their sinful ways, Jesus would have forgiven them and embraced them as brothers. Those who hate niggers would forgive them and embrace them as brothers if they stopped behaving like niggers.

If I can save your wretched soul, brother, I consider it time well spent.

I accepted Jesus into my heart long ago, but all the hate I've been feeling lately, and alienation of my friends has made me question whether I'm falling to the dark side.
