Belief Counts…But

If you say, "It doesn't matter what you believe, as long as you are a good person," the dogma focused persons get all upset.  They have a point, I agree.  The Belief is important. It forms us.  My problem is with some of these same persons who think it does not matter what you do, as long as you believe the right doctrine.  I call this "hypocrisy."  John Henry Newman used to rail against his upper class Anglican congregation about their correct beliefs, and regular attendance, while at the same time failing to live the gospel.
