GOP Gospel: Enemies

Day 21 of my Lent project. For background, please read this.

A reading from the Gospel according to the GOP:

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' Indeed there is much wisdom in this, for who is there to hate but your enemy, and what is your enemy for, but to hate? If your enemy were not deserving of hatred, they would not be your enemy. No one hates another without justification. Love those who love you, and extend the hand of friendship to those who agree with you, for this is how a society is unified, and only a strong unified society can withstand the onslaught of the unrighteous."

( Matthew 5:43-48 )
