Someone post this as a thread

Does anyone else feel an odd sense of respect/kinship with Christian ideals?To preface this I should point out that I am not a Christian myself, obviously their views do not hold up in the face of everything we know in 2018, but over time I've come to discover that some of their beliefs have been surprisingly prescient; if nothing else it can be said that they often believe the right things for the wrong reasons.
While their book itself is well known to espouse bigoted views such as a man's ownership over a woman or that no women can be church leaders, the modern Christian tends to pick and choose to abandon those views in favor of others which laid the groundwork for much of what we tend to ascribe to today. For example, admonishment against overly-sexualized dress - from their point of view it's to prevent sexual sin, but it turns out doing so is also a key aspect in alleviating objectification. Same with other behavior, once thought "puritanical" or an effort to exert control over the masses, like avoiding dirty dancing or refusing to partake in sexualized media...now these same actions can serve better, more enlightened goals.
More than specific beliefs, there is also an undercurrent of the Christian mode of thought in modern society - the way we can be confident that our views are correct and just, the way we might protest the objectionable, and the way we deal with those who will not or cannot change. Like it or not, it seems we have inherited some of their zeitgeist in the manner we interact with society, and admittedly it's been shown to be very effective.
One major aspect in which we admittedly differ is their common refrain "love the sinner, hate the sin" (as if any Christian ever really lived by that ideal in the first place, but that's beside the point). Time and time again we've seen that the "sin" is emblematic of the core being of the individual, that they are one and the same, so this is clearly untenable. It's tantamount to embracing Trump supporters, as if they could be made to see the error of their ways; certainly some can, but in general "loving the sinner" has been demonstrated to be unproductive these days. It was a wrongheaded philosophy when wielded against the LGBT community and is still wrong today.
Regardless of the above though, more and more I've found myself surprised at how much my beliefs have begun falling in line with those of the Christian. Many of their views can be seen as quaint, but examined individually, almost as if by accident it seems they hit on a set of beliefs that truly can benefit us today. Thoughts?"
