they are literally saying loving your family more than a hobo on the street is a sin.

@sickburnbro @wgiwf "Neighbor" means whoever God puts into your life. It's perfectly fine for a normal person to love and focus on taking care of their family instead of going to the ends of the Earth to find an Abo with Down Syndrome to adopt.

@sickburnbro Christianity isn't communism. There is an old and ongoing attempt to remove all sorts of dividing lines and individual responsibility, whether it be the example posted here or the errant idea that all sins are equal. The implications of these lines of argument seek to lower all faithful an inherently no better than any gutter trash. God is not egalitarian.
-
@wgiwf the point I keep hammering on is "neighbor" - it doesn't say "everyone" for a reason.
-
@ArdainianRight @wgiwf neighbor means your neighbor, and the reason that matters is because it's easy for people to ignore people close to them and say "but I'm being nice over here" where it is easier for them.
Honor your mother and father, etc.

Gandhi and MLK were "altruists" who treated their families like shit. It's telling that they're the heroes of Boomer faggots who love performative politics as an excuse to neglect their responsibilities.
-
@sickburnbro @ArdainianRight @wgiwf Even from a historical standpoint "neighbor" would have meant someone living right next to you, i.e., someone in your clan if not direct family. "Neighbor" certainly didn't mean someone on the other side of the Roman Empire.

I mean, Christianity does in fact teach the opposite, even the versions not infected with modern notions of social justice.

@ArdainianRight @sickburnbro @wgiwf Dude, I don't consider non Whites as human.

@ArdainianRight @sickburnbro @wgiwf Sounds like a Jewish interpretation.

@Bianca @sickburnbro @wgiwf No, one of the earliest converts to Christianity was an Ethiopian eunuch.
