The ONLY "good Christian" is not ever going to be the ones TELLING you about themselves. They actually follow the teachings of the Christ figure and try to model those tenets to the world without judgment or tsk-tsk'ing or self-flagellation or public displays of pseudo-piety.

I have known a few of them and they are among the most honorable people on the Earth, sadly, just as Muslims are painted with the Jihadi brush and slandered, so too are Christians by every one of these so called X-tians that flaunt the gospels and the words of the Christ to instead serve material aims and earthly power.

Gandhi was right when he said:

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
