Humans oppose one another and have competing interests.
That's not what Jesus said.

So Christ is acknowledging both the existence of a "them" (our neighbor whom we must love as ourselves), and the fact that we will have enemies?

I don't believe in "evil". I believe in things like: disordered, mental illness, cognitive errors, psychopaths. I put myself and most other people in the cognitive errors group.

As a Christian, I find this thread offensive, and don't understand how this is not some kind of violation.

How about I start a thread saying " fill in the blank" are lazy. Or are child molestors, or are bigots, or are filthy, or are materialistic.

Christians have become ( in many circles ) acceptable fair game.
