Matthew 22:36-40New International Version (NIV)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
If a person doesn't live by these standards, then that person is not following Christ, whether they call themselves christians or not.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
