Oh, but you missed so many others who you could have accused me of supporting and defending: immigrants, Jews, Arabs, native American, Chinese, Japanese, Hindus, Gypsies, mentally disabled persons, Buddhists, neo-Nazis, gang-bangers, Trump-loving white supremacists…the list goes on and on. I&i don’t just defend Muslims, homosexuals, communists and black-skinned people. There are unique perspectives harbored by all different “classifications” of humans, and I&i seek to better understand all of them. What better way to strive to fulfill His Majesty’s exhortation:
“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”-Matthew 5:44
So yeah, I’m guity: On any given day, I may support or defend a brother or sister of pretty much any genre, while conceding that ALL humans are imperfect, fallen and sinful. In my zeal to try to following His Majesty’s Teachings, I strive to love not only my friends and family but my enemies also.
There are enough people out there who are hating & tearing down.
