Christ’s approach is love. The early church was centered on charity. The approach was to share and help those in need. Thus you have the modern sanctuary cities and helping refugees, things which the Democrats tend to support.
Like the people and organizations of New York, Martha’s Vineyard or Washington DC being willing to help refugees, but the governors of Florida and Texas with their political stunts do not have the common curtesy to ask where to send people or say when they are coming. They hope to gather a following by hurting those in need, rather than by helping them.
Yes, certain groups are more competent at different things. Unfortunately some are better at conquest, oppression, harassment and prejudice. This is quite the opposite of the Christian approach, quite in keeping with much of the conservative community. I would suggest the progressive habit of domestic spending is in line with the original Christian love and sharing. It is more secular than religious these days, but still.
Evil? Autocratic powers who care most for selfish power for the elite. Corporations who care more for immediate profit than sustainability. Criminals who seek their own benefit without regards to the situation of others. Seeking political power for one’s own kind rather than serving the people in need. Caring more for the immediate results in one’s life time and ignoring long term continuity. Caring for one’s own group, for those like you, than others from another culture, religion, race or other.
Today it was conservative Hope Hicks thinking that the great crime of January 6 was in making her unemployable. She thought of herself rather than America. Evil.
Love thy neighbor. We are all your neighbors. You need to really read the Bible, with special emphasis on the New Testament, to figure out what Christianity is all about. You still haven’t figured it out. It’s sad.
