      as much as I hate Christianity, they do a LOT of good like this. They give food to the homeless, assist local animal shelters, countless beach cleanups, etc. Helping others is a big thing Christianity teaches, good Samaritan and all.

      Hell, the one my dad goes to combined with like 10 other churches of various religions and peer pressured the mayor into DRASTICALLY lowering gun violence last year and are working to lower rent this year (so far down 6% on average).

        i feel like that line from one of the MIB movies applies: A church is good, churches are corrupt. Or something like that.

        Hating orhers is also a big thing Christianity teaches. And no, not only in the sense that many use it to spread hate, it specifically teaches hate no matter how you see it.
