How else do you judge a religion/philosophy/way of life except by the people, societies and actions it produces?

  I am homeless. America didn’t cause my homelessness, people did. You didn’t cause my homelessness, well, maybe you didn’t or probably you didn’t. You see, I judge people, not religions, or philosophies or ways of life. Because a religion can hold a varying type of people, even people who can act in ways that are 180° Different from what a religion states. Christians follow Christ. To follow Christ to act like Christ. It’s that simple.

    America was created, is composed of, and run by people. Religions are as well. Looking at the products of the system people take part in is a measure of the underlying people who run it. It's the same as people looking at financial reports to gauge the health of the economy.

        Not really, I'm saying the religion and it's outputs are an indicator of the sort of people it contains. An aggregation, a heuristic, or whatever you want to call it. I can't judge every single person in Christianity individually, but I can look at what it has produced as a whole and not like the majority of what I see.
