Comment on Faith and flag: How the Left used ‘Christian Nationalism’ to undermine traditional values

That last line bothers me a little. I think the parable of the good Samaritan informs us that we shouldn’t just “take care of our own”.

Context. The Bible is all about context.

Yea sure context. I just don’t want anyone unfamiliar to think the takeaway is that it’s correct Christian theology to help and care for other Christians only, and fuck everybody else.
Someone in this thread says Christians are hateful and racist. Well yea humans are hateful and racist, but that’s absolutely not what Jesus teaches. So people can easily get the wrong idea by witnessing the behavior of those who are bad at doing religion, or worse, those who are deceitful. So I want to be sure (or as much as I can) that our discussion is not a source for someone’s misunderstanding.
