Shouldn't claiming the title of "follower of Christ" have something attached to it? Or do we get to blindly use it as a blanket to cover whatever we choose to do wrong that day. Not only did I leave this experience completely embarrassed for this person, but also angry. It made me angry that this "Christian" was so willing to give followers of Christ such a bad name. I have friends who say that the reason they don't believe in Christianity is directly influenced by a "Christian" who didn't act like one. I think they have a completely relevant and valid viewpoint. Who wants to be like us?
This situation also caused me to ask myself the question, do people know I'm a Christian by the way I act and in the way I carry on my relationships with people? Or am I a "Christian" with the quotes fully intact. It's definitely something I need to think about.
