For this definition, we turn yet again to Ambrose Bierce’s timeless classic, The Devil’s Dictionary.

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 in so far as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.”
