Parent is not just a guy spamming Bible quotes. It's actually apt.

  I’m missing the aptness. Can you explain? Most nations as a whole fall down on the “whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me”. Nothing to do with the article, God doesn’t have anything to say about social media.

    The passage is about people who do things in the name of "God", without actually doing what is good. Arguably, that is what's going on when Gab's founders say they are "Christian". Obviously, this is a moral/political judgment that you might disagree with. Regardless, I think the post is interesting, because it's using a Bible quote, correctly, in a way that criticizes part of "the Right". That undermines lazy anti-Christian prejudice from the Left, and, at the same time, gives a useful perspective to Christians who might be lured Right by someone who claims to be "one of them". The overall effect, I think, is depolarizing and humane.

      Ok, subtle. I have no problem with the general “be generous and helpful, platinum-plate the golden rule ethos”. Assigning Christian judgement-day superstition, well, happy to leave that as someone else’s cup of tea. I truly doubt the subjects of the post’s article care. Hope they would understand the implied dig as clearly as you do.
