It's just my opinion, but striving to act moral actually serves humanity, and myself, alot better than simply having a get-out-of-jail free card.
Regarding the original thread subject, the word Christian seems to have a pretty amorphous meaning, to me.

There's a get out of jail card, but it's not free, believe me. Not only did someone die acquiring it, it wasn't even the person who was supposed to die. Beyond that, it was someone who was entirely blameless, even according to the man who gave the execution order. Even according to the murderer being executed alongside him. I did that. I put him there. And he forgave me. And I still do the things that put him there in the first place. And he still forgives.
I dunno, I find that to be a decent reason to strive to be moral.
The meaning of this isn't amorphous, man. Those who don't understand assign their own meanings to the word, but that doesn't define it. The original definition stands, no matter who tries to change it -- neither self-proclaimed Christians or otherwise.
