Are you a good Samaritan or a good Christian?

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.

It's funny how you can get attached to cars. Inanimate objects. But they serve you. And for that you're grateful. It's sad to say goodbye to a car!

Then again, I'd cry at the drop of the hat, so most people are more stable lol. Might be just me. Anyway, try to keep oil and water in it, and it will keep going for you.

Definitely a Good Samaritan.

However YABU for thinking that one can ever, ever listen to too much Stormzy. In fact, I'd say you're getting way too big for your boots and you need to shut up.
