Don't know why this occurred to me tonight. Listening to too much Stormzy for my age I think lol.
I would consider myself a good Samaritan but not a good Christian.
For e.g., I don't go to church, I don't praise the Lord, I don't pray, I don't engage in charitable works. On the other hand, if I see a homeless person on the street I will give them whatever change I have in my pocket (usually fuck all) and roll them a cigarette.
I am also the type who will stand up for the one being picked on, which usually lands me as the new central victim. But ..........
I actually think actions speak louder than words and songs of praise.
I do recognise that the Christian and other religious communities are social centres for people also, but often, they don't carry anything spiritual out of their prayer service.
I just don't usually find people to be both. They are either one or the other.

Are you a good Samaritan or a good Christian?
