Quote by Ambrose Bierce
Christian, n. One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor. One who follows the teachings of Christ so long as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.
Summary
This quote is a satirical and cynical definition of the term "Christian." It suggests that a Christian is someone who only believes in the New Testament when it serves their own convenience, and who follows the teachings of Christ as long as they can still engage in sinful behavior. The quote highlights hypocrisy and implies that some individuals may claim to be religious but exhibit contradictory actions.
