But Heathens

No mercy

I think you should find your nearest Mosque and go there

I can't see anything remotley Christian about what you just said

We are required to love everyone, but love is not necessarily shown through supporting them no matter what they do, it doesn't even mean you must respect them.

@Orthodox Andy You should go to the next Pagan larp fest

Well yeah, of course @de ton , I never said that

sometimes you have to get tough on people

but we get tough on them because we care for their soul and their future

not because we enjoy smashing people and violence

the intent matters a great deal

Love is not the only acceptable reason for an action though, there is also safety, and making the world a better place for Christianity.

even safety is traced back to love though. We love our own lives, or the lives of those close to us.

Then why would people fight for the safety and betterment of the lives of people that they don't even know?

Because they love their country, they love the idea of love and goodness

all the good circles back to love, because that is God's defining feature

Mercy is a really hard thing to exercise these days, specially with so many enemies

I understand things are really dark, but that's not an excuse to just become totally cynical and hateful

That's not what *this* is all about

Although it is wrong to hate people, embracing your hatred of certain ideas can be good.

I agree with that part

We should hate behaviors and ideas

but people can change their behaviors

and under bad behavior there is usually a soul

that has at least some kind of positive qualities most of the time

We're currently engaged in a struggled against the Heathens

It is a battle between us and Satan

People do not change as much or as fast as you want to believe.

Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't

<:wojak:560839976963670016>

That's something you have to play by ear

meaning---real life!

😮

They usually do not.

People may not change fast, but they can change

that I know for a fact

They can, but they rarely do.
