Why is it, at least in this country, whenever someone describes another as a "Christian man," it's typically preceded by the word "good"?
"Oh, that Mr. Buster Jaw is such a good Christian man."
I don't think I've ever heard this kind of statement made about a person of a different religious persuasion.
"Oh, Mohammad Allah is such a fine Muslim man."
"Jesus Knot is such a wonderful Atheist man."
"You know what? Moses Dunno is a great agnostic man!"
"Tom Cruise is such a sweet Scientology man-person or whatever."
"I adore her! Lucy Fur is truly a good Satanic woman."
So, according to some, can a person not be good if he or she isn't a Christian? What if a person claims to be Christian but acts otherwise? What if a person misinterprets the Bible, believes they're acting Christian, when in fact they're not?
Here's a thought - how about we leave religion out of the equation completely, and when commenting about another, simply say, "He's/She's a good person"?
