I'm here to take the religious meme too seriously.

I'm 100% all with preaching equality, and just as much with helping out your local sex workers (not buying their... services. You know what I mean by "helping out"). But Jesus did not incite anarchism, quite the opposite. He asks us to obey the laws, whether they're Godly or otherwise (as long as they don't go against the laws of Christ, as is demonstrated in the book of Daniel). Without the very human traffic laws that God didn't find important to discuss in the Bible, there would be actual anarchy, and coming from a country that is without traffic law enforcement, I can tell you, no Christian would vouch for this.

Other things Christ would love for you to do this Christmas (or any day of the year). Pass out food to homeless people, better yet, get to know one and invite them over for a meal in a warm home with good company and social support. Regardless of your views, support a kid who's a member from the LGBTQ+ community who might be rejected by their parents. If you're an employer, reach out to any employees who live far from family and invite them over for some baked goods, a meal, and some good conversation and fun. If you're a student (like myself), reach out and setup a mini potluck where everyone brings something.

Christ didn't ask that we hate anyone. Christ asks to spread love, and with the cold weather and festive spirits, there is plenty of room to spread love.

Anarchism doesn't mean what you think it means.

It appears it doesn't at all! Thanks for all the replies, I have a lot of reading to do!
