Ok no one is going to like this idea but.....how about every time we post here on the religion forum, we first put a quote from Holy Scripture about how Christ wants us to treat others?

It's going to take some serious cognitive dissonance to overcome a quote we just typed and be callous or scornful in our own words to someone else.

you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you
and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
