Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it's freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

    Might be superficially pro human but anybody who uses such a horrific book for the basis of their religion can’t actually be pro human. They can make their impact less by being decent but they are still a net negative by believing such horrific shit.

      This comes off as if you haven’t actually read it. The Bible is more of a collection of old historical tales and legends. Many make sense in the context of the era, when people were generally cruel to each other. Usually it’s God that does horrific shit to unsuspecting people, and indeed he usually doesn’t seem like the kind of God you would follow out of anything but fear. However the book only tells the tales - it doesn’t advocate for its followers to perform cruel acts.

      Then you get to the New Testament which mostly encourages cooperation and compassion for your fellow man.

      If you want a book that advocates for violence and hatred, the Koran is the one you’re looking for, with passages that explicitly tell the reader what to do, such as

      The Hour [resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: "Oh, Muslim, servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!
