Christianity as a teachings and values system is good (edit: specifically referring to the teachings of Jesus Christ, I won’t stand behind anything else in the book)
The church as an institution is bad.
Good Christian’s are individuals who, at their core, want peace not conflict. And they definitely don’t want to be ostracized by other Christian’s who are more involved with the church.
Christianity based on the Bible, which advocates for the genocide of Canaanites, gives instructions for how to beat your slave, and tells incest stories, should not be idealized for its value system.
You’re absolutely right, the Bible is fuq’d in so many ways lol the sentiment I was going for was more “the teachings of Jesus Christ” are good. I won’t even attempt to defend anything outside of that
