text: It is certainly what Jesus himself would have done according to the bible. Remember, he was the guy who hung out with moneylenders, prostitutes and other sinners -the scum of the earth in Jewish society of the time.
  
  He sought out their company - and didn't antagonize or judge them. Maybe the private Christian schools (and Christianity at large) should consider following the example of the guy they named their religion after a bit.
  I for one would look a lot more kindly upon them if they did - because the guy said some pretty wise things a lot of the time - values even atheists widely agree with.
  
  Instead, for some reason, the majority of Christians today seem highly intent on basing their lives and behavior on the Pharisees instead- legalistic and judgemental. 
  
  Weren't they the people Jesus spent most of his life arguing against ? The people the bible say are responsible for killing him ?
  
  So maybe, he wouldn't want his followers acting like them.
