Luke 10:25-37New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘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, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
…38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.”

It wouldn't matter if it was Santa Claus who did it. The loss of life is real. There are Christians saying that people should not grieve over the loss of 50 sodomites. Even though some of the dead were straight.
Dead people can't be brought back. Lives have been ruined. And to add to the pain we are being told that their lives did not matter anyway.

How many Christians are saying this? Muslims are murdering people over cartoons, their sexual orientation and their religion! It's actually happening right now and just happened a few days ago! What the FUC# is your obsession from deflecting from that fact? I feel like I'm surrounded by pod people!

I'm sure it was only atheists who lined up to donate blood.
I'm sure that was the only atheist Chick-fil-A in the country who opened on Sunday (something the company NEVER does) to feed the first responders and blood donors waiting.
I'm sure no one who claims the faith cares at all that 50 people died.

That is why I called them right wing Christians. These types are as bad as radical islamists and nazis.
The faith I was bought up in was still anti-gay, but a lot more chilled out and about community and helping a brother (or sister) out in times of need.
