"We're allowed to kill these people" is treated as a religious belief which cannot be questioned or challenged because it represents a deeply-held spiritual view, but "be kind to each other" is just a theoretical idea, a non-binding philosophical abstraction, little more than a suggestion, really.
One of the reasons eastern religion and philosophy never gained much of a foothold in the West is because the Buddha and Lao Tzu, for example, didn't explicitly name people whom they were allowed to murder.
@gwynnion Unfortunately not quite true. The "Thule Society" in Germany was very enamoured by eastern religion and philosophy and laid the foundation for the atrocities of the third reich. Easy to digest video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TokYUITs6zs&list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5BCPShpqWATCjU4Jf6edRYU

Unfortunately certain religious people interpret "be kind to each other" to support torture and oppression in the name of "saving sinners' eternal souls."

A sort of "firm hand" kindness, they would say, because their deeply-held spiritual views supercede everyone else's.

Convenient how the most deeply religious worship an all-too-human god.

@gwynnion “Be kind to each other” is now regarded as Radical Woke Ideology.
@gwynnion We live in times where atheists have to quote the bible to christians who have lost their way.
