so exactly what are Christian values

Cleansing the Temple: Jesus used a whip to drive merchants and money changers out of the Temple in Jerusalem, overturning their tables (Matthew 21:12). Critics view this as an act of physical violence and rage.

The Canaanite Woman: In Matthew 15:21–28, when a non-Jewish woman asked him to heal her daughter, Jesus initially refused, stating it was not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the “dogs.” While he ultimately praised her faith and healed the girl, the initial remark is criticized as harsh and ethnocentric.

The Cursing of the Fig Tree: In Mark 11:12–14, Jesus hungered and approached a fig tree, but finding no fruit (because it was not the season for figs), he cursed the tree, causing it to wither and die. Skeptics view this as a petulant or destructive act against an inanimate object.

Harsh Rhetoric on Family: Passages like Luke 14:26, where Jesus says anyone who does not hate their father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters cannot be his disciple, are cited by critics as promoting familial division and radical emotional detachment
