Are you really trying your best? I want to make a point here so that you sit for..what, 60 seconds? Not too much - and think about that.
Divergent from what christ thought? Certainly, absolutely, and inarguably. The man in the book was a man of his time. You might feel compelled to assert that jesus is the good leader in your good leaders>anarchy>bad leaders.....but....he (allegedly) held and espoused views that would get a bitch canceled today - if not thrown in prison or executed by SF. The thing that's interesting, is that contemporary christians in the US, by demographic weight, do not. Contemporary christians do not agree with jesus on this..and many other issues
Is this a benefit of a more hands off approach to morality? The approach you advocate for.
As to the other thing. The book of acts is fiction, even bible thumping bible scholars recognize that the book of acts is pure invention........but that doesn't really matter to me. We can assert for the absolute lulz that the book of acts is true, and that changes nothing about my life. Your religion is evil, that's why I'm not a christian. That's more relevant to me than the fact that your god does not exist. Welcome to Af. I hope I'm never so unfortunate as to be so unwell that I cut chunks out of myself while babbling about an abrahamic god and his ghostly buddies, by any description.......? Attend a local bible study? I'm from the deep old south. Would you wager you immortal soul on knowing more about what's in magic book than I do? Are you wholly committed to this line of reasoning that must assume that any divergent view, catholic or atheist.... is a product of ignorance and infamiliarity?
Perhaps I'm extremely knowledgeable about christian views..past and present...and I'm asking you this question because of that. Is what so many contemporary christians deride as the moral death or moral decay of society a product of a more hands off view...leveraging what a person might simply notice or discover, absent rigorous moral misinstruction by christians? Is that a possibility, for you? Maybe there was never any way..as a singular and pure and original thing..in the first place? But even if there were would you expect a more hands off approach to round up or down to whatever that way is...and...if so...why has the majority of the world..and even the majority of the christian world, missed whatever that is?
My ultimate reasoning, as you try to feel it out......some christ being a flawed bedrock. Well, yeah...vicarious redemption..... when's the last time you purchased a blood diamond for your loved one(s)..? Never? Yeah, me neither.
