Had to do an answer version mate. To present a nonsexist version for starters. Couldn't help myself....


----------------
A Christian loves themself and their fellow human as well as God

A Christian knows Earth is something for which we should work now, here on earth, for all humans together to enjoy

A Christian knows that they can get help through prayer, but that, with Gods help, they must find in themself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue and enjoy it.

A Christian thinks that only in the knowledge of themself, God and life and in the knowledge of his fellow human can they find the understanding that will help lead to a life of fulfillment.

Therefore, they seek to know themself and their fellow human as well as know God.

A Christian knows that a hospital should be built instead of a church building.

A Christian knows that a deed must be done as well as a prayer said.

A Christian strives for involvement in life and not escape into death - physically or spiritually.

They want disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated.

They want men to understand woman. An impossiblity I know...

They want an ethical way of life

They know that we can rely on God, channel prayer into action, and have hope for an end to troubles in the hereafter.

They know that we are our siblings keepers (it's in the first book of the bible after all) and keepers of our lives; that we are responsible persons, that the job is here and the time is now.

Athiests don't have a monopoly on these values, and unlike athiest writers, Christians don't regard man as all humanity.
