I read this today, and it made me think about a conversation I had with jasch on a bus a while back.
It’s funny how some Christians can adopt benign beliefs that encourage them to help people in need, while others adopt malignant beliefs that do the opposite – all from the same book of morals. It’s almost like religion plays second fiddle to an individual’s core values about how to treat people, so that those who adopt certain religion practices are always adapting them to meet the requirements of their own consciences.
