Similarly with religion. e.g. Jesus said: “love one another, especially those you disagree with” - love ofc is a chosen attitude towards patience, gentleness, kindness, peace, etc., and instituted the most widespread and strongest provisions for women’s rights that the world has ever seen.

Fast-forward to today’s religious christofascists taking away women’s health options and taking sexual advantage of children and it’s just… not the same. Everything gets corrupted over time, and takes effort to preserve and persevere.
