Jesus var en inte så very 'nice guy' heller...
Har det bara på engelska:
Jesus when confronted by a Canaanite woman begging him to heal her sick daughter, he refused to help her, explaining that "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs," (Matthew 15:26). Any modern person can see that this is a repugnant display of racism and religious bigotry (she eventually changed his mind by declaring her faith in him, and reminding him that even Canaanite "dogs" get to eat the crumbs that fall from the Israelite master's table). By modern, humanistic values, we would regard such prioritization of humanitarian aid based on religious affiliation as utterly unconscionable, just as we would be appalled by Jesus' attempt to withold aid pending religious conversion, his encouragement of religious enmity, or his racist characterization of Canaanites as "dogs". Did Jesus believe in helping those outside of his own race? Only if they converted, and even then, they would still be treated as "dogs": second-class citizens at best.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
So far, the Universe is winning.
