Of course, we are neutral.
So, do you think that what happened in Switzerland is generalisable to the whole world? Assuming that what happened in Switzerland is what you say.
If that is the case, may I suggest that you change your OP by saying: we Christians are all a big family. Bianchi Neri or Cinesini siamo tutti fratellini and we all love each other because we all love Jesus. In Switzerland.

It is now called the Belfast peace wall. Originally build to keep Catholic and Protestant apart in Belfast.
A rather politically incorrect joke follows
A tourist was lost in Belfast. He wondered around and darkness came. Suddenly he had an arm forced up his back, a knife at his throat and a voice in his ear whispered threateningly the dreaded question "Catholic or Protestant?"
The guy thought quickly and replied with relief "I'm Jewish"
The assailant chuckled and gleefully chortled "i must be the luckiest Arab in Belfast tonight"

..just one word .. Napolean.
It is the OP.
Loved the Aramaic version of the 'Our Father', thanks
I have a disc from St Mark's Orthodox Monastery which includes the liturgy and chants in Aramaic. An eye opener for all westerners, I think.
Jesus died for our sins. It wasn't the idea of Jesus. Jesus asked God "why hath thou foresaken me?" So, the death of Jesus must have been God's idea. God deprived humans of the presence of Jesus (the one who cured the sick and fed the hungry...the one who advocated peace, when he wasn't beating up a fig tree).
Should we love the victim of an unforgiving God who demands a blood sacrifice?--Love Jesus for unwillingly being God's victim?
Mixed marriage: Roman Catholic and Irish Catholic. Will the marriage work????
Most Christians don't think that Latter Day Saints (used to be called Mormons) are Christians, yet they worship Jesus Christ.
Nothing divisive about Christendom? Then attend a different Christian church. Read a different version of the Christian bible. Step out of line in any way by following the teachings of a different version of Christianity.
Nobody is so blind as he who will not see.
There are many who call themselves Christians but practice hate not love. There are many who call themselves Christians who ignore the 2nd Greatest Commandment.
If you agree that true Christians are motivated by love including love for all including the poor, LGBTQ and others who some think of as the "least of these", then we have a basis for agreement.
Ditto.
Yiu live in Switzerland, so religiously diverse.
I bet Protestants and Catholics fight on the street from sunrise to sunset...right?
Suggesting that Christians fight? Why, I ought to punch you in the eye (but turn the other cheek, so I can get the other eye, too). LOL (I'm kidding, of course).
Me too. Another great post by ChristineM.
In their defense, they love everyone except who they hate, and they hate everyone.
No Christian wars? Hmm....Iraq and Afghanistan....George W. Bush fightin' evil. Self-proclaimed humble (has to be to be Christian), he ruled both the US and the world.
You'll allow that there is room for difference of opinion I hope. I hope that is implied in your OP.
I agree completely. Great post, ChrstineM.
Sorry, I did not see any mention that your argument is restricted to today's Switzerland in the OP.
My bad.

COUGH Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints COUGH!
Eyefangew...
More exceptions to the rule than rule.
All history begs to differ.
