I disagreed and provided examples of why I believe that WWJD is not a good moral or ethical model.
You didn’t though? You brought up a verse about swords taken wildly out of context. You seem to be confusing a general tendency for charity, tolerance, and forgiveness with the entire combined corpus of various sects. What evil has been done in the name of WWJD? Sure, the Catholic Church has been co-opted by bastards essentially since it’s inception, and most other sects have their share of bastardry, but what does that have to do with emulating the most consistent elements of Jesus’s teachings? Forgive your trespassers, help the struggling, love your neighbor as yourself.
And to be clear, it’s not my religion. I do not profess to be a member of any Christian sect. I just think that most of the things Jesus himself said (or is purported to have said) are generally a good moral baseline. Further, based on his position on the Pharisees, I’m sure he himself would take serious issue with the evil done ostensibly in the name of his church. All the more support for WWJD.
