In all honesty the title should have read this is what I want a christian to look like. Message? If they don't look / sound like this I won't accept them as a Christian. Toss out the bible, we'll choose the verses we like, ignore the rest and the world can go along to get along or else.
Sorry. I do not play that game. The bible doesn't need an opinion. It is what it is. The truth.
Most christians do pick and choose the parts they like and ignore the rest. We se that everyday with the christians' war on the poor, on women's rights, on gays and other issues. That's their prerogative. I have no problem with that and in fact, its just none of my business.
Whether or not Jesus was a real person, the Jesus that christians say they worship was kind and compassionate and reached out to his fellow man. Yes, he also preached and proselytized but he would never have talked the way we see "christians" here talk. He would never have hated and punished the homeless, children, elderly, disabled and our wounded vets and their families.
IMO, there are real Christians and there are fakes. These nuns are the real thing.
YMMV
You do realize you are just believing your own propaganda. No one is waging a war against women, nor against the poor, not even against gays. Those are your talking points.
