1. She could be some sort of "Atheist for Jesus" or the like.

2. Just because you're christian
doesn't mean you're devout. I'm a christian, but tonight will be the first time i've been to church since LAST christmas. For some christians, church just isn't for them :shrug:

3. I tend to think there are more Christians outside churches
than in them. And that's not a slam on attending church. It's just that the work of Yeshua takes place in the places where a lot of well-heeled folks won't go.

The parable of the Good Samaritan wasn't just an intellectual exercise. It was a road map.
