Following Christ

Wow.  Somebody actually paid attention to that "love thy neighbor" thing.  I am impressed!  I bet Jesus is too.  Love is a lot harder than hate.

I've met a handful of people who actually follow the teachings of Christ.  Not many ... but they're all worth knowing.  I bet these folks would be too.

If Christians actually followed the teachings of Christ... like actually followed that rather than cherry-picking Old Testament fire and brimstone and social control...

The mind boggles.

Of course, the same could be said for any of the Abrahamic traditions.

(of course that was a broad brush stereotypical statement, but the rabid minority are the ones most visible, so that's what we see)

If you Christians could keep your nose out of other peoples' crotches

you'd have less time to be meddling in other peoples' business.
