I believe that it’s essential to your religious life that you give people the benefit of the doubt, in university during my first attempt at a degree 18 years ago, a series of gossips had me banned from events in the Christian fellowship for making the public declaration that I was lazy and talked back to my parents.
What they did not know was my parents were extremely abusive towards me and the abuse was so bad it endangered my life as a kid so I did not bond with my parents the way well raised children do, also I studied for 4 hours a day but believed I was lazy, not based on my academic performance, but based on the idea that my dad was always yelling at me and telling me I was lazy, these people endangered their relationship with God, their cosmic safety and their salvation by drawing assumptions about somebody they did not know very well.
I had a lot of people at church reject my friendship with accusations I lied to them when I had been honest, I left out intermediary and connecting information that could have explained contradictory contexts or states of being that caused them to conclude I was a liar, and caused them to ban me from events with other Christians at church and outside the church, because these people choose to behave based on chances and possibilities and not on evidence and facts.
In Christian ethics, giving people the benefit of the doubt is not an option, it’s a compulsory requirement, because even one act of slander against one person can land you in the hands of an angry and vengeful God.
