Don't know what happened to "love thy neighbour"/The Golden Rule, but some Christians sure are struggling with that part of the Bible.
Most Christians have always struggled with that part.
Setting aside religion, I used to have a shitty boss who would never shut up about how the platinum rule (treat people how they want to be treated) is better than the golden rule (treat people how you want to be treated), but then would proceed to never actually follow it and never really understood how he treated people.
People suck in general at just giving a shit about others. They just want to sound and feel like they give a shit without actually following through.
People who claim that that's not already part of the golden rule don't understand the golden rule anyway.
I hope you find some better humans!
Protip, they probably aren't at church.
What's the platinum rule?
I like it, sorta suggested it unknowingly previously :D
Treat people as they want to be treated
That's the church modernization strategy right there.
Here are the rules you should follow the rules.
Preacher, I disagree with the rules. The rules make me feel icky.
You should just do your best end repent and give back in another ways. By the way this month's tidings are a little light can you help us out.
Gave my parents the excuse they needed to never have to face everyone they've hurt.
How convenient. I'll just sort out my abusive childhood myself I guess.
To be fair, there's a lot of contradictions in there regarding how one should treat other humans.
For example, Jesus endorsed slavery, which doesn't seem very "love thy neighbor" to me...
Small point of clarification - God endorsed slavery. Jesus doesn't say anything about it.
Big point of clarification: the people who wrote the bible endorsed slavery.
Which is a bit weird, since a couple of the authors were apparently slaves.
They're the same guy.
It depends on the denomination, interestingly. Jehovah's Witnesses see Jesus as a created being, separate from and subordinate to god the Father, and view the Holy Spirit as god's active force rather than a person. Mormons believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as separate beings united in purpose, rather than one god in three persons.
I'm willing to bet this guy believes Jesus is God, it's the predominant belief in the religion regardless of a few sects having their own fanfictions.
You love them so much that you just have to own them.
