Good people are good people

Give you the shirt off his back, drop everything and come running when you need him, bail you out of jail and three o'clock in the morning no questions asked, he's good people. At least that's the definition of good people that I like to use. Some people might define it as a person who goes to church, claim certain values or has a certain set of beliefs but I've known plently of people who go to chuch and aren't worth the skin they are made of. Not that I am against church goers, I am one myself. But nothing makes me more upset then when people judge a person who doesn't go to church simply on the fact that he/she doesn't go to church. Its kind of like saying a doctor in the african bush must be a bad doctor because he doesn't practice in the hospital. He might be the greatest doctor in the world and do more for man kind then anyone else but he isn't considered because he isn't conventional.

This has been a long standing problem in our world I think and "believers" continue to shun those who have differing views. I fail to see how simply attending church can make one more worthy then another. I understand that by following the teachings of the church a person can become bettered and can grow but just because you don't go to chuch doesn't make you a bad person.
Maybe I just don't get it??
