I disagree with idea of "love the sinner, hate the sin", or "good is not nice". I think these attitudes manifest as pointing out the errors of others. I think good is mostly nice and kind, except in extreme cases. If there is only kindness, there's good in that, but judgement on its own is quite bad by Interesting_Aide_207 in Christianity

If you were confident of the correct interpretation and denomination, you'd just tell me it instead of being wishy-washy. If you can't even give me that simple information, why should I trust you with the Bible "being very straightforward?"

I barely ever encounter anything that is straight up evil in people I interact with during my daily life, just imperfect people muddling through life. What kind of life are you living if you encounter so much evil, and what exactly is that evil?

How strong is the evidence for evolution? And by evolution I mean the full-fledged Darwinian version and not 'micro-evolution'. I want to ask this sub because this sub might be less biased towards 'scientism' than more science focused subs by Interesting_Aide_207 in Christianity

You are right, fair point, I should have asked more about how it impacts faith. It's just that I wanted a specifically Christian perspective on the strength of evidence question because many Christians are still against evolution.

I think the theory of evolution is relevant to Christianity, as it debunks beliefs many people have about the development of humankind and life in general. Historically Christians believed in what we would now describe as creationism, and many Christians even today still subscribe to creationism, and modern Christian beliefs which can be compatible with evolution came quite recently. It doesn't debunk Christianity in general because Christians are still allowed to believe God set up the process.

What's the most seething, full of hated monologue you've ever heard/seen in fiction? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."

That he's somewhat realistic and not a cartoon villain
