    Dr. Locrian

    Unlike Dr. Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Donohue, Bush, and other talking heads, true Christians are typically more interested in actually living our lives and having a direct, positive impact on those around us than in telling the world how great we are.

    Jabbing to the media and anyone who'll listen might make you a good ideologue, but reaching out to the people around you is what makes you a good Christian. The two greatest commandments, according to Christ, are: Love God, and love your neighbors as yourself. True Christians can do that without talking about it on national television.
