What does acting Christ-like mean? I find the Jesus of the NT one of the most inscrutable characters in the history of literature. He seems to get pissed off at the drop of a hat and at other times he is forgiving and understanding. How is one expected to emulate such a moody and unpredictable fella?
To be fair though, the Christians I know have largely been more charitable than my atheist/secular friends. One of my Babtist mate's family takes in kids recovering from drug addiction (there's very little chance I would do that), and my Godfather's (is that the correct term if I consider myself to be no longer Catholic?) family have dedicated their lives to helping people with disabilities. The best I've done is donate $30 a month to similar causes.
