good things about Christians
To balance out the post in which I roundly criticize Christianity, I thought I’d list a few of the things that I see in Christians that I think are *good*. Obviously, as with the other list, Christians are such a large and diverse group that it’s difficult to say anything which would be true of all of them, so let’s go with things that I think you’d find in, say, 70%.
1) Belief in forgiveness, and that forgiveness is a positive trait
2) Belief in charity, and supporting and loving your fellow man
3) Belief in working together to solve problems
4) The idea that there might be something bigger than us, and that we might have been engineered
5) Encouraging the hope that the future will be better than the past
6) Encouraging empathy with your fellow man
7) Encouraging gratitude, which has certain neurological benefits I discuss elsewhere in this blog
It’s my intention that this be somewhat a dynamic and collaborative document, so feel free to comment with your own list entries.
