“Teacher, which is the great commandment in
the Law?” And
he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great
and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love
your neighbor as yourself—UNLESS
1- God has created her a woman, in which
case—
·
You shall treat her with contempt
·
You shall deprive her of control of her body
·
You shall subject her to invasive medical tests
2- Your neighbors are poor, in which case—
·
You shall treat them with contempt
·
You shall discourage them from voting by
imposing unreasonable identification requirements
·
You shall deprive them of affordable health care
·
You shall deprive their children of quality
public education by cutting state funding for public schools and by diverting
state funding to private schools
·
You shall deprive them of safe and affordable
housing
·
You shall deprive them of affordable public
transportation to places of employment
3- God has created your neighbors homosexuals, in which case—
·
You shall treat them with contempt
·
You shall preclude them from committed,
long-term love relationships
·
You shall prevent them from adopting children
·
You shall exclude them from positions of public
trust
4- Your neighbors are Spanish speakers, in which case—
·
You shall treat them with contempt
·
You shall assume that they are in the country
illegally
·
You shall constantly require them to prove that
they are citizens or properly-documented immigrants
On these two commandments depend all the Law
and the Prophets.”
