I think I’ve found it. Just now, continuing a conversation in my head.
I’m looking for a Christian, in the oldest sense of the word. Not Christian vs catholic, or churched vs unchurched, or any bullshit like that. I mean someone who emulates Christ in their selfless regard for the happiness of others. Someone who makes others (me) happy without caring what they will get in return. Many of these Christians have never been to a church. It is possibly for that reason that they are the best type, the unadultered type of Christ-followers. These people don’t know they’re doing the work of God, they just do it because it is who they are.
Maybe their happiness isn’t derived from somewhere completely within themselves and it’s ok. If they attribute value to helping and serving others, and they are around people who do the same, then their own sense of purpose and well-being is established by what each is doing individually and edified by the others like them.

ya couldnt be more right about this, m'boy. it's so sad, the amount of people who call themselves one when they DON'T emulate Christ but more like the opposite. FACK! it's indeed frustrating to be around. also, everyone's a hypocrite including me.
.. and me.
