You'll never know!
Here is an over-the-top statement, made just recently:
Quote:Christianity is none of those things today. It is not non-violent, commune living, charitable or kind. It cares not for the sick, nor each other and very much cares about material possessions.
By offering this with no qualifications, the poster makes it seem as though Christianity has no opposition to violence, no commitment to charity, doesn't care for the sick or other people, and only cares about material possessions.
I'm sure there are Christians who are like that. But that is not a reasonable definition of Christianity. In fact, there are good Christians in the world who care about those things.
By pointing at the very worst people in the group, and pretending that all the others are the same, we descend to Trump level. Immigrants are murderers, etc.
