Sorry, we have to agree to disagree on this one. How YOU choose to treat other people is determined by YOU. I did not suggest that the New Testament be followed to the letter, I suggested that many Christian ideals were good and worthwhile and I sited the one about treating other people the way you would like to be treated as a good example.
