It's been a while since I read the Bible, but I remember a lot of emphasis on treating people you don't like with love and compassion. I don't remember anything in there prohibiting using someone's name because it's been changed.

Maybe this guy should read his book again.

Bold of you to assume he's ever read it once.

Lol, you think Christians follow the bible or the teachings of Jesus? What world do you live in, because they gave up on pretending to follow that shit years ago and only use it as a cudgel for their bigotry.

12 years of Catholic schooling taught me that Jesus is just a name you can use to argue for shitty things and and use as an excuse to hate on people.

I think the whole "love and compassion“ thing was just inaccurate marketing
