I do NOT consider myself a religious person, but I am a spiritual person.

And I find it interesting that many people who call themselves believers (in whichever flavor) don't actually follow the tenets of that belief. (IE Bush = "Christian", Islamic Terrorists, etc) Those people, who don't display the core set of values they SAY they hold, give those who DO a bad rep.

George Bush may SAY he's a "Christian" but you'd never know it by his actions. Terrorists aren't really following the Islamic faith. (hmm... similarities there I don't want to go into...)

So don't judge all the believers of a faith by the works of a famous person who isn't doing what he or she is supposed to be doing.

Does that make sense?
