    I’m curious what the replies to him were.

    The scribe quoted “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind” and then, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

    “You have answered correctly” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

    The scribe then asked “And who is my neighbor?”

    Jesus replied “It is whoever you are hoping I don’t say it is.”

      with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind

      That’s the problem right there.

      While I love this humanitarian part about loving everyone, the important part is that who is being excluded here.

      Because obviously maga wants to exclude foreigners, everyone else here wants to either exclude maga folks or religious folks.

      So the question to you, my friend, are you really ready to start loving maga folks or are you trying to set up a standard that even you are unable to reach?

      Or maybe you are even worse – a real scum of the earth trying to expose contradictions in others, and using them as a proof for your moral superiority

        If you throw the social contract out the window, I’m no longer under any obligation to apply it to you.

        Who is excluding maga? I want everyone (including maga) to have Healthcare, education, workers rights, etc. I wouldn’t go as far as “loving” but sure as he’ll not excluding them.

        Thats an interesting not-quite-straw-man .

        Pointing out that someone isn’t following the teachings they are claiming to follow doesn’t require the accuser to be an adherent to those teachings.

        I could call a self professed vegan a hypocrite if I saw them eating a steak, regardless of whether or not, I myself were a vegan.

          Oh no no no, you can call everyone a hypocrite today. This doesn’t change things a bit. This leads to a spike in moral superiority in your bubble and that’s it.

            If you’re struggling with the distinction between pointing out hypocrisy and a claim of moral superiority then you’re going to spend a lot of time being confused and/or upset.

            Has anyone told you that you’re stupid recently?

            Just in case they haven’t, I’m going to take this opportunity, right now, to tell you that you’re stupid

              100% Seconded. It’s…odd to have to chime in on something like this but I really agree. Exhibitional stupidity, paraded proudly, like a peacock whose feathers were ill-informed words. Sadly, the internet is referred to as a medium; shitheads like this are neither rare nor well-done.

                It’s quite literally impossible to stress how much you don’t matter

                If someone told me tomorrow that you killed yourself because of this interaction, I’d be struggling to recall it, let alone care

                Have a short and lonely life, loser

        How about you do something right now to find out how St Peter would judge you?

        I think it’d make the world a better place
