So, far the Christians I have met who "walk the walk" the most I happened to meet at nudist clubs. (There is actually no prohibition against nudity in the bible. There are scriptures describing shame aobu tnduity, but nudity itself is never prohibited.).
@Wafflestomp Haven't been there... yet. Spokane is quite a ways out of hte way, and there is no short way to get there. Still the photos I've seen make it look very nice. I shouldhave grabbed a ride when they hosted the AANR-NW conference a few years ago.
I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, was a private practice cognitive behavior therapist in Charlotte for 35 years, am an adjunct professor at Columbia College, a published author, and a curmudgeon.
Good idea. I have known some who appeared to be really trying to do right. And if they could agree that we would disagree on religion, then am glad to be around them.
I mean, I guess it depends on what you mean by walk the walk. If you mean what people think the Bible says, then sure. But there's plenty in there that I don't want anybody doing.
I don't discriminate vs anyone except ignore ignorant bigotry.
I know 2 xtians who "walk the walk" as I would have identified in Jesus' intentions-my grandmother, who passed in 1987, and my sort of, "adopted" mom. She is a human angel and while devote, she focuses on the good stuff and being good to people.
Yea, I've met a few christ-like christians and they seem like great folks. They are an extreme minority in their religion though.
I guess it depends on what denomination we're talking about, and the exact perspective of the Christian. There are many who are about peace and love and tend to have a live-and-let-live approach to people, and then there are the extremely judgemental conservative Christians who meddle and want to live in a theocracy. You can find justification for all of these views in the Bible, so they're all walking the walk according to their interpretation. I like the former group, but I'm not so keen on the latter.
