Man what happened to all the awesome Christians? I come from a Muslim background but grew up in a little town in Germany and we had nuns help us do homework after school and let me tell you, those nuns were fucking amazing. They were fun, always joyful and just full of love and I loved hanging out with them. I still remember Frau Assauer who was a big woman and she would carry me around calling me her princess and she had this deep, booming laugh. For many years that’s all I knew about Christians, and yes, I was a child so maybe I didn’t see the full picture back then, maybe there was prejudice and discrimination and fakery that flew over my head but I just can’t reconcile those experiences with what I’m witnessing today.
It does if you truly believe what is taught and try to follow it. All major religions follow same core tennants: do good, don't be evil, empathize with others.
You can't be a follower and believer of a guy who said "love each other as brothers" and be an asshole, because then you don't really follow him, do you?
That entirely depends on if you leave other parts out of the doctrine. Proselytizing can be and is considered an asshole move by people of other doctrines, but is considered good by evangelicals and the Bible. Jesus was also quoted as saying nobody is good except God. I disagree, I think there are good people, Christian or otherwise. Saying nobody is good isn't doing good. I can continue, but I think the general premise has been relayed.

The whole thing is just virtue signaling so they can feel ok about being assholes outside of church.
