We don't know for sure what Jesus did or didn't say. We never will. We also can't say for sure if the people who put their oral traditions on paper were recording what they felt was 100% true or not. We don't know the answer to that, and never will. We also can't fully understand what it was like to live in biblical times, and what exactly their version of "loving" and "nice" might have been. We, or biblical "experts", can guess- but none of us can know for sure.
I personally am not Christian, but I have a high level of respect for any religion and/or world view that helps its believers lead a life of kindness, giving, charity, and acceptance. Some Christians fit into that category, and some don't.
I'm sorry you had such a rough night, though. Emotions definitely run high over religion. I'm glad you're feeling better today ♥
