    Christianity in its core values is good

    It really isn’t. It just has some values that people who like to see it as good pick to describe as core values but other people pick very hateful ones as its core values from the actual pool of very mixed values it contains.

      The good is significantly more explicit than the hateful ones, and come later in the text, when the main character arrives.

        What are you talking about? There’s plenty of hate throughout. And quite explicit. Unless you’re referring just to the New Testament, and even then I’m not sure that’s accurate.

          Damn you’re criticizing it without reading it? Come on. I was an autistic 12yo, so I read it cover to cover 3 times (once to get the just, once to read it thoroughly, and once because after I finished the second run that none of the hate I was taught was actually sanctioned by the deity in human guise. At the core of the quotes from Jesus, he is calling for positivity, sharing and kindness.
