I found this on a half sheet of paper I'd gotten from one of my Bible study classes back in the day. At the time I was like "that's cute," but it means a whole lot more now that I'm old enough to recognize religious hypocrisy lol. Don't know who it was by and I'm not going to post the whole thing, but if 3 people on the internet notice my highlights here and thinks twice before going on a religious tirade, it'll be worthwhile...

"When I Say I'm A Christian,"

When I say I'm a Christian - I'm not shouting I am Proud, I'm whispering
I was lost and that's why I chose his way.
When I say I'm a Christian - I'm not bragging of success, I'm admitting that I failed and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say I'm a Christian - I don't think I know it all, I submit to my confusion, asking humbly to be taught.
When I say I'm a Christian- I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are too visible, but God thinks I'm worth it.
When I say I'm a Christian - I don't wish to judge, I have no authority because I only know that I am loved.

There is a compromise here, obviously. I think the best thing to do while being a good Christian is to be a good person, too.
