Religious ideas migth not work all that well in this case, especially if it's a nonconscious bot that you're talking to.
The only thing you're doing is rewarding someone for trying to bully other people and in the process making yourself look more suspect.
It doesn't really matter though, both Dan of Steemit and the Busy.org team are working on solving these issues.
It might not help anyone or solve the problem but still feel it's important in ever situation to try my best to follow advice from my creator. Bots creator might not change bots behavior, I can only control my actions in the situation. And felt I needed to be kind to asshole in that moment. Does it change anything for at asshole idk, and all I can do is hope the change of one does happen is for the better.
It's your call of course. Just don't hurt yourself in the process, please.
Be well

Thank you. Not my intention to get hurt. Showing one person kindness shouldn't upset a non involved third party. If it does then they need to reevaluate why they were so quick to anger at the situation and saw it as a threat to themselves. Kindness isn't a scarce good unless we as humans make them supply of it low intentionally. The quality of it never goes down, the demand is high, and the supply could be endless. It's worth is always valuable. I give kindness freely because it's what my religion teaches, I will stand behind it regardless if it sometimes negatively affects my situation.
Apart from not being theistic, I agree with much of what you said.
