"Love thy neighbor" is a call to nationalism anyway, not a condemnation of it. There's a firm hierarchy of neighborhood that exists in the Bible and in early Christian thought, with it starting in the family (self -> wife -> parents -> children) then extending to one's believing community and nation before ever touching anyone else. People who care more for outsiders than their own community are effectively condemned by that verse.

One of the most important innovations of the Bible is precisely the opposite. The Torah was the first document in the ancient world to call for justice not only for the widow and the orphan, but for the stranger as well. The classic example of this is Leviticus 19:33-34, only a few verses after the command to "love your fellow as yourself":
When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

This reaches its height in Ezekiel's vision of the immigrant inheriting the land with the native Israelite:
“So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the strangers who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And in the tribe with which the stranger resides, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares the Lord GOD.

There are certainly distinctions made between foreigner and citizen - Ezekiel forbids foreigners from entering the Temple, for instance, and of course the Israelite politity is based on ethnicity. But on the whole, the Bible lines up a lot more with civic nationalism than lazy wigger xenophobia. The book of Ruth is another great example of biblical thought on the matter.

You've also got Sodom and Gomorrah, which has been twisted by both sides to be about God killing all the gays but really it's just because they were assholes to foreigners.

Yeah I mean not like there's a non religious war happening right now... As I type... This very second

I’m not even sure it can be called racial, seeing as how all parties are East Slavic Caucasian. And it definitely isn't religious, considering both belligerents are primarily secular Orthodox nations, one with Muslim Auxiliaries, the other led by a Jewish atheist, and both sides having plenty of Jewish funding behind them. Either way, the idea that most wars are religious is still ludicrous, with the Islamic conquests and retaliatory Crusades probably the only major examples I can think of excluding the 30 Years War.

Wars are rarely caused by religions even if they're regularly excused by religions. Some don't know the difference.

They assume every Christian is a fundamentalist because (here comes the shocker) they don't go outside and talk to people.

I've taught RCIA for years and we get into it pretty heavy sometimes talking about ethics and morality and how the teachings of the Church relate to modern life and what's actually true. We don't sit around talking about video games and funko pops and reLIEgion, sorry.
 
Does anyone watch Telltale? I watch his videos on JWs, and generally he comes across well when his seething atheism isn’t peeking through. I watched some of his videos on determining whether or not other groups are ‘cults’, and his understanding of other Christian groups is so limited and inaccurate it makes it hard for me to trust any of the other videos where he claims to be an authority. I want to say ‘I get it bro, you were in a cult, now you’ve made it your personality, but don’t tell me you’re a denominational expert after reading a few Wikipedia pages’. He claims to ‘not hate Christianity’, but gets his jimmys rustled awfully easily over Christians doing Christian things, and I don’t think he’s fully grasped the fact that Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormons are not actually Christians.

Typical content: (Also top kek at so many people in his comments who talk about ‘religious trauma’ because their parents made them to go church and sit still for an hour without the aid of video games or mobile phones. Yes, truly an abusive situation if I’ve ever known one.)

He also PLs about his family dynamics and reveals messages that should be confidential between him and his mum, which is just objectively wrong.

My Jehovahs Witness Mother ADMITS IT'S A CULT?

It’s always interesting to me, considering his current views of liberal woke-ism, how these people shed one cult just to dive head first into another.

The one about being taught to think reminds me of what Chesterson had to say on free thinking:
Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterson said:
We may say broadly that free thought is the best of all the safeguards against freedom. Managed in a modern style the emancipation of the slave's mind is the best way of preventing the emancipation of the slave. Teach him to worry about whether he wants to be free, and he will not free himself. Again, it may be said that this instance is remote or extreme. But, again, it is exactly true of the men in the streets around us. It is true that the negro slave, being a debased barbarian, will probably have either a human affection of loyalty, or a human affection for liberty. But the man we see every day—the worker in Mr. Gradgrind's factory, the little clerk in Mr. Gradgrind's office—he is too mentally worried to believe in freedom. He is kept quiet with revolutionary literature. He is calmed and kept in his place by a constant succession of wild philosophies. He is a Marxian one day, a Nietzscheite the next day, a Superman (probably) the next day; and a slave every day. The only thing that remains after all the philosophies is the factory. The only man who gains by all the philosophies is Gradgrind. It would be worth his while to keep his commercial helotry supplied with sceptical literature. And now I come to think of it, of course, Gradgrind is famous for giving libraries. He shows his sense. All modern books are on his side. As long as the vision of heaven is always changing, the vision of earth will be exactly the same. No ideal will remain long enough to be realized, or even partly realized. The modern young man will never change his environment; for he will always change his mind.

Do these motherfuckers not understand the reason Christianity is still that much around is because of the social community?
I changed my behavior when I was about 23 years old, admittedly a bit late but that’s when I realized it.

The more you cry „those stories are not true“ the more non listeners you have from the believers side because it goes against what holds them as a group together, even closer with atheists dumbfucks like these talking this drivel.

Notice they did fellate hitchens to an almost godly status, where as hitchens so many times counted on his audience seeing themselves as individuals, which then makes attacks on ridiculous bible stories a good sounding argument.

Who is going to argue as Christian that raping children in catholic institutions is a good thing? Yet these assholes focus (not downplaying rape of children) their energy on these extremes while the Christian community member is going to be like „yeah disgusting, still going on Sunday and bbq after that“
Because if the alternative for those people to this religious community are these unwashed motherfuckers looking like captain-chromosome-defect with their superiority on the internet, then it’s a pass for many if not all.

I can’t fucking stand these atheist fuckos and I don’t believe in any religion.

You realize that you are a fucko also, right?

But all that said, you aren't wrong. We suck at presenting an alternative. We should only use anger against anger and not anger against everything.
