I never pretended to know anything about Christianity or the Bible, or Jesus for that matter, but the evidence speaks for itself on the subject of compassion for others:
"Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do ..."
Luke 23:34
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." 1 John 3:11
"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God ... Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." 1 John 4:7, 11-12
"Let all that you do be done with love." 1 Corinthians 16:14
"Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling ... " 1 Peter 3:8
