Dude.

"Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them, He said, 'If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters — yes, even their own life — such a person cannot be my disciple,'" Luke 14:25-26.

That's some real emo poser shit right there from the ultimate nepo baby 😄

Fellow atheist here, ok, but what about where a crowd of people wants to stone a woman to death, and he says "whoever hasn't done something wrong can throw the first stone"? What about when he said the most important command is loving your neighbor the way you love yourself? Who is your neighbor? It's not just the people who like you, it's the poor, the sick, the persecuted. He says it's easier for a rich person to go through the eye of a needle than to get into heaven.

Yeah, God isn't real, and religion is used continuously by scammers to control people and get their money. Still, Jesus or his ghost writers had some good stuff mixed in there.

I think it's a mix of good and bad takes like most religious doctrine, not a good source for a model ethics but as long as you're not dogmatic about it you can take the good stuff from all religions into your own morality.

But, you can also form good ethics easily, without using any religion. There's plenty of good philosophy and general common sense without bring magical beings into it.
