I agree Christianity causes or exacerbates many of the problems in our society, however you're engaging in huge confirmation bias here:
So forgive me if I am rude but how exactly is this kindness and generosity manifested, when I have never experienced anything of the sorts from any Christian person I came across.
Six people were complete scumbags while 80-90% of the people in your region identify as Christian. That means if anyone was ever kind or generous to you there's at least an 80% chance it was a Christian being kind. You're just noting the bad ones.
people who literally ignore every commandment from the 10 Commandments, including just absolutely selfish and despicable behavior, posing themselves as Christians.
That's the thing with Christianity, the Ten Commandments no longer apply. All that forgiveness through Jesus stuff isn't because of the religion, it is the religion. Why do you think mobsters are always so deeply religious?
The thought that just occurred to me is that Christianity doesn't cause evil behavior, but it does give people a way to clear their conscience for evil behavior. (Although I think in some ways it does also cause evil behavior, but that's mostly around their abhorrent message on sexuality.)
EDIT: Forgot to mention... really the worst part with organized religion as a whole is that it gives a degree of control over a populace. Pastors/Priests can motivate their congregation to harm others, cause wars, elect evil leaders, etc. When belief overcomes reason you get shit like the Evangelicals in the US trying to legislate away homosexuality. (Pence is very popular among that crowd, and he wants to send gay people to electroshock therapy!)
No the sample is just too wide for it to be a coincidence. There is certainly something bad to religion that causes people to behave this way, while I have not observed the same behavior with other groups.
I live in a pretty secular town, so the number of Christians here is not even that high, if anything I am inflating the proportionality here.
But it is exactly that, the fact that the general population behaves relatively normally, while the religious group which is like 30-40% does not. That is a pattern that shouldn't be ignored.
Exactly, for once I agree with you here.
Every single mobster that I have read about in the newspapers or in TV had been deeply religious. Now is that a coincidence too? Or they have a deep cognitive bias and are struggling to justify their immoral behavior through religion.
