Katie,

I expect that a lot of people really live out their religion in their  
daily lives.  Maybe that is why the world is the way that it is.   
Pockets of good and pockets of bad.  Just because someone belongs to  
a religion with a name we recognize, that doesn't mean that their  
idea of the theology has anything in common with our expectations of  
that denomination.

When someone tells me that they are a "Christian", that doesn't mean  
that I have any idea what they mean by it.  All I have to compare is  
their actions to my standards.  I cannot know their standards even if  
they profess to tell me.

A good tree bears good fruit.
