    What you do is read the fucking manual.

    “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

    41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

    44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

    45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

      Some of them will do some impressive backflips to argue that "of there’s means Christians only. Because of the “brothers and sisters of mine” bit, it only means they have to be good to their in-group. Nevermind the canonical answer to “who is my neighbor?”

          They don’t reason. They feel, and look for justifications. We’re all susceptible to that, but some people have that problem really bad.

          That’s a classic example of evil seeking an excuse. The religion telling her to be different is offensive because what it actually says is of no importance. Her specifically chosen reading of it is all she cares about.

      No, they would answer, “yeah but those people were brown”
