@Mr_Lister_tsf@StevenP27874368@minervas_muse Your premise assumes that Christians are the one group with the ability to stop nuclear annihilation and that everyone victim to it is not Christian (i.e. "other people"). Christians are not called to protect or preserve themselves.
@1DarrenHoward@kyletanderson John Brown gave his life to his mission to free slaves because he saw slavery as a mortal sin. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor, was hanged for resisting the Nazis and conspiring to free Jews. MLK saw the fight for civil rights as an expression of the Christian demand for justice.
@1DarrenHoward@kyletanderson Religion doesn't do anything. People do. Religious people and institutions didn't just turn a blind eye, but actively supported all of the above. But religious people and institutions also combated slavery, the holocaust, and Jim Crow because their faith inspired them to do so.
@StevenP27874368@minervas_muse โYou have heard that it was said, โAn eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.โ But I say to you: Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other alsoโ
