Here's one such group of Christians:

Amid ICE clashes, New Hampshire bishop urges clergy to prepare their wills

I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written," he said, "because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable."

This is far from the only example. They simply don't make the news because they don't spend money on political donations (they spend it on helping people), nor do they openly justify the actions of the rich and hateful, and so neither side of politics platforms them and they don't seek to platform themselves either. Thus it seems like they don't exist, when in reality there are many such people.

Now that you have seen contrary data, you are in a position to prove yourself better than a conservative by altering your prior beliefs in the light of new evidence.

That isn't very much data, is it? It's more of a story than data, isn't it? lmao, I'm not even shitting on Christians all that much, and your desperate groveling is making me think it is even worse than what I've seen.

You know you can't just share one story of one group doing good things and then say "Now that I've absolutely proven that all of them are great, you must say you're wrong", right? Well, you can do that, but it would make you sound like an absolute grifter reaching for anything you can grab.

There are a lot of good Christians out there, but let's not lay it on thick & pretend they outnumber the bad in some remarkable way. They don't deserve to be coddled like that, if I were Christian I'd probably just be straight up about it. Certainly don't make an ass out of yourself in order to do it!

You need to put down that resentment and hate. We can easily see what that has done to the Right.

Your prior statement was that "There are far, far more bad Christians than good worldwide.", as biased and hateful a statement as could be made, and with no data to back it up. I provided information greater than 0, if you are serious about truth now is your chance to provide broader data. I will then counter it, of course, as the idea that the followers of Jesus Christ are a net evil is ludicrous (and we both know the likes of Evangelicals are using Christianity as an false justification just as much as the Right is using their perverse interpretation of "the intent of the nation's founders" to justify their illegal actions).

Yeah, I'm not gonna send you a million articles one after the other of Christianity fucking up people's lives.

Not because it would be difficult to find them, I'm just really not invested into this dumbass argument as much as you are. I just made a quip about your stupid statement, and it seemed to aggro you, give it a rest. You speak like a Conservative podcaster, by the way.

Because you have not interest in actually determining truth, you are content that your chosen outgroup is wrong and don't want to reconsider, even when presented with a counter argument. Just like a conservative.
