Tim Keller and [Baptist] President Jimmy Carter whether a skeptic like myself, who admires Jesus’ moral teachings but doubts the virgin birth and any physical resurrection, counts as a Christian. Basically, Keller said 'no,' and Carter 'yes,' so you’re the tiebreaker. Am I a Christian?"

[Joseph Cardinal Tobin:] "I would think that if you haven’t completely closed the door on the possibility that God has more to say to you, then I think you’re in the tent.
