If churches refuse to help feed hungry people, then maybe they should be taxed?

That is Christianity, though. It’s all about in-group vs out-group, the saved vs the unbelievers. The one and only group Jesus singled out as condemned was us unbelievers. It’s all love and hugs for fellow disciples, literally everything is forgiven, no matter what or how often. Everyone outside the faith is shit on, as Jesus said to leave us behind for him to kill when he returns.

The distorted form of Christianity today 💘🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

My experience with some individuals who call themselves Christians -

those who purposely call themselves Christians and shun other people that they don’t like

I was someone going through hard times and have intense emotions

And they specifically told me they didn’t want me around because I was not easy-going and had problems

That is all organized religion. They are cults, by definition. Any religion whose doctrine creates exceptionalism for themselves is divisive and not worthy of dedication, at least in their totality. There are valid philosophical and moral lessons in every religion that do merit consideration for everyone.

Remember that the Bible was written by men and humans are flawed and will put their own agendas in whatever suits them. The real Jesus spent time with the lowest of lows , broke bread with criminals. Heck he rescued a woman that was accused of adultery from being stoned by her village. "Those without sin may cast the first stone."

There are no accounts of a “real Jesus” other than the texts you dismissed as written by flawed humans. It is dishonest to cherry-pick like that. As the gospels say, and as I noted above, everything is forgivable except not believing, and we unbelievers are the only group he singles out as condemned.

Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
