I think there's an entire spectrum for being a good person, and the more closely you follow the Christian Virtues (as the Church calls them), the more "good" you are. Humility, kindness, temperance, chastity, patience, charity, diligence. Of course, you don't need to be Christian to follow these virtues. There are plenty of Christians who don't, and plenty of non Christians who do. But like I told Sal, I think it can help set you up for success if you truly try to follow the teachings of Christ.
Lol, just because it's inappropriate to wear just a bikini in certain places (including the mall, the movie theater, the grocery store, your inlaw's house party, etc), doesn't mean the Church teaches that wearing a bikini is a sin. I use one all the time at the beach, the pool, or anywhere else that involves swimming.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
