[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most bigoted person I have every met is my church going neighbor. We used to be friends till she bashed gay people and people of other races. But she loves her bible study and church. Awful. [/quote]

+1 million.  The most harmful, unloving, hurtful people I know are a family of evangelical christians that shunned their own son because he was severely depressed and not "working to his full potential".  He was 21.  They kicked him out, didn't allow any contact with him for 2 years.  And this is only one example of the beliefs fundamentalist/evangelicals can hold.    Their moral compass is broken[/quote]

The person who did huge harm to our family did it out of justification she was Catholic/Christian and it was her calling.  Ironic a doctor as well.

Being religious doesn't make you a good person, it's just a justification for your behavior.  Being a good person is about your life choices and how you treat others and conduct yourself.  I would think if there is a God, how you conduct yourself and how you treat others is equally if not more important than anything.[/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted.   I agree.  This family also justifies their shunning and other horrific beliefs by their very literal interpretation of one version of the bible and their by saying that it's the "loving" thing to do to someone who is not obeying their lord.    They told me "unconditional love is wrong.  We need to be judged to be more christ like and get closer to god".   It's sick.   Like I said, their moral compass is broken.   [/quote]
