He found God and is now a devout Catholic. He goes out of his way to help ANYONE who needs help, is non judgemental and is genuinely a bloody nice chap.

We have an understanding that we just don't mention religion to each other and 8 years on we're still good friends.

This leads me on to say that the only reason this kicked off is because we're sat hundreds of miles apart, hiding behind a keyboard. I'm guilty of this, as is everyone else who's participated in this thread.
your right imo most Christians are nice people and offer Christian charity/help

and ask nothing in return, and that's the way it should be ,we should all try to help out each other[you don't need to be a Christian or follower of any other religion to be nice to your fellow man ] the reward is the smile you put on someones face .
but i have to say Christian charity/forgiveness is an alien concept to some "Christians " there definitely not all cut from the same cloth as the original.
