@shane_pruitt78 This kind of view is a great way to alienate and dehumanize those who don’t hold the same beliefs that we do. It’s so interesting to see how the language has changed from “they’re not saved yet” to “they’re not God’s children” over the last several decades.
@AmericanFietser Ok so… I get it. But also, in most areas (in the US) there are WAY more people moving via car than walking/cycling. Plus, bikes and pedestrians can almost always find an easy way to bypass sidewalk construction. Cars don’t have as many options to keep traffic moving.
@Seth_Ligonier @newvangelicals I mean, Romans 12:15, Galatians 6:2, and even John 11:33-35 seem to be clear examples to me.
I think there may be a deeper issue here though: what’s your definition of empathy?
