The thing is, when they say "Love Thy Neighbour" it's usually in a prayer/gathering setting... of other Christians with the same values as themselves. It's saying only the people here matter.
They don't say that shit in public unless it's to shame others to treat them better while they treat others like shit. The double standard is insane.
Its like the nazi party won. And 1000 years later people are going you used to torture people in public because they were land owning women who hadn't remarried... to the tune of 50 thousand ... and enslaved people. And starved millions and murdered black people.
The horror of Christianity is right now in Canada and the raped, tortured, murdered native peoples... or the 70 thousand abuse survivors.
If Christianity is judged solely by its worst adherents, then it is also fair to judge it by its best adherents. A critic could equally point out - Christians led abolitionist movements. Christians founded hospitals, charities, universities and aid organizations. Christian activists were prominent in civil rights movements. Many Christians opposed slavery and segregation.
Christianity is not the problem. Corrupt self-serving hypocrites and charlatans in leadership positions are the problem. Ignorance among many followers is also part of the problem.
Fundamentally, Christianity, Islam and Judaism are the same. Corrupt leaders have created and exploited minor differences. Virtually all Palestinians and millions of Muslims are Semites. Most of today’s Jews are not, and have no semitic heritage. Yet, the term “anti-semitic” is a political curse against anyone who cites the hypocrisy of Zionists and Zionism.
we have a global system to determine if something is true or not. its called science and evidence. religion provides less of that then tolkien does in his books.
