nadia, being "nice" to others usually depends on reciprocity, and the ORIGINAL version of Christianity was a, separated from "The World", communal society as described in part in Acts 2:44-47 and Acts 4:32-37. Only "good" persons were permitted to join it, and it was a theocracy, with God being the BOSS, not the Romans, nor the rabbis, at least in theory. But after Jesus had been crucified there were lots of changes and addition to the teachings of Christianity, to make it more "practical". Actually it is a success story if you look at the numbers of "belivers" attached to it, and paying money to it - about one third of the planet's population.
