I assume you still lean toward theism in your agnosticism. If so, may I ask what your thoughts are now regarding an afterlife? (It is always fine to have whatever hunch you do in the face of no evidence in either direction.) If not, I suspect your natural skepticism will probably lead you to question the wisdom of practicing what Jesus taught in a very extreme manner.
Personally, I think I have internalized what Jesus taught to some degree. It feels right to give people the benefit of the doubt so far as possible and to bear in mind that everyone suffers different challenges in their life which impact their point of view in a way that isn't purely rational. I'm not as forbearing as he would have liked and can actually get a little hot when I feel poorly used.
