    What values have you seen? Jesus promoted forgiveness love and kindness for all beings. To he a servant to all. To care for the needy. Are those the ones you speak of?

      You mean like holy wars and what’s been occurring in palestein?

      “Matthew 10:34-36 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.””

      “John 14:26 ”Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.””

      And there are so many more.

      I’ve always had a problem with peopel that claim this shit is good, there’s a lot of bad shit in the bible too. It aint all peaches and cream. It’s not really right to pick and choose either. Sure, you can learn some good things I suppose, but there’s a lot of bad along with the good.

        John 14:26 is what they have been accusing Muslims of for decades. That the west loves life while Muslims love death.

      What Jesus promoted and what Christians perform are two entirely different things.
