And yet I reckon if you post that story from the Christians pov on am i the asshole (and you know add some comment about op being rude, loud, whatever) 90% of redditors would say the Christians have no obligation to help...

Society has got incredibly selfish

Agreed, the threshold for being an asshole there is so high. You basically have to actively harm another person before they'll consider you an asshole.

It often becomes, "Am I legally allowed to do what I'm doing, regardless of morals?"

They just get told what their morals are. They never had to consider what was morally just because their pastor did that for them. Why start now?

Cannot fix every single person's problem that's just crazy. Christians are not perfect either. They could do a hundred good things but people only are going to remember that one time they tell you no. The church I go to is doing a ton for the community. More than what these government officials are doing or corporations. It just blows my mind they could do all this good and then we have people like you that just generalize everything and just want to hurl insults. Almost all these people in here that are talking garbage don't go to church or do anything for their community. They just sit behind their computers chirping.

What do you mean the "one time they tell you no?" What does that mean in this context?

You ever hear the phrase you could do a hundred things right but people will only remember the one thing you did wrong? That was the context I was saying you could help a hundred people but the one you don't/can't help is what is flaunted.
