Many Christians of varying denominations regard their faith as having developed from Jesus's rejection of Judaism. But Jesus was a faithful Jew who respected and protected Jewish traditions, practices and laws.

Did Ayn Rand not believe in being kind to other people? Here’s some of what she had to say on the subject in her essay “Faith and Force”: “Do not confuse altruism [which she opposed] with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others. These are not primaries, but consequences, which, in fact, altruism makes impossible.” “The irreducible primary of altruism, the basic absolute is self-sacrifice—which means: self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction—which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good.” “Do not hide behind such superficialities as whether you should or should not give a dime to a beggar. That is not the issue. The issue is whether you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime. The issue is whether you must keep buying your life, dime by dime, from any beggar who might choose to approach you. The issue is whether the need of others is the first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence. The issue is whether man is to be regarded as a sacrificial animal. Any man of self-esteem will answer: ‘No.’ Altruism says: ‘Yes.’” So her view is that kindness is (at least often) a good thing, and that it’s impossible to be genuinely kind to people if one thinks one is obligated to live for them at one’s own own expense. Sometimes when people praise or demand kindness or compassion, what they’re talking about is the genuine kindness that she thinks can be selfish; other times it is the self-sacrifice that she thought was immoral.
