A few minutes in the life of a Detroiter

slantsixdan;1221014 I stand by my remark about America not being a "Christian" nation. Not because I'm judging every American (remember said
truly[/I] Christian nation, there would be not be people starving in the streets.

There is a big difference between being "Christian" and being "Christ-like". America is a "Christian nation", but as a whole, we are far from being Christ-like. Remember, Jesus wasn't a Catholic, or Baptist, or Lutherin, he was a Jew, and based on his actions, not a very good one. What He was, was compasion and love. What you did was Christ-like, more than Christian. I promise to TRY not to be pushy or preachy, but it's hard for us. The way you wanted to help a guy who is less fortunate, financially, we want to try to help a friend who is less fortunate spiritually, to try and share what we have. I know this will push some buttons, I just want you to know where we are coming from.
I've been burned by "homeless" scammers, but I also like to think I have helped some. Maybe it's just because it makes me feel better, who knows? All I'm really getting at is that a lot of people get so caught up in religion that they lose sight of God, the same way some people get so caught up in giving that they lose sight of who they are giving to and why.

I still say you did a good thing, Dan.
