“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Matthew 5:44
I know this is hard, sometimes. I’ve been hurt by them often and heavy. I try. But I also recognize that they need to be stopped for everyone’s safety. I know God can get it done if it is in his needs.

This is one of the hard parts for me as a Christian. Pray for their souls, but protect what is right from persecution at the same time. Sometimes when you’re in the midst of battle - be it physical, mental, philosophical, etc it can be really hard to continue to pray for them.
I ask forgiveness on this one - a lot unfortunately. But I keep trying.
That sentiment is why the West is getting trampled on by violent people who don’t share this creed. It is utterly nonsensical. Left wing pacifists, even ones who aren’t religious, have drawn their ideology from this moral sentiment.
