In terms of values, what moral values do you think Christians cherry pick?
It seems to me that most Christians would agree, is that being more moral, being a good person, is to be more Christ like, embodied the values he embodies.
Those values are explicitly indicated throughout, humility, patience, kindness, forgiveness, love, charity, not to be materialistic, fidelity in marriage, gratefulness, preferential treatment of the poor, taking care of widows and orphans, reverence, servitude to others over mastery, being compassionate etc..
Regardless of whether Christians failed to live up to these values, it seems that perhaps all Christians would agree they these are the type of values the compose what it means to be good, that they should strive for.
