> paradox of tolerance requires that we love the oppressed more than the oppressor
You can't retrofit this onto biblical commands to love everyone equally. The Paradox demands nothing, and certainly doesn't have primacy over core religious tenets.
- MrMcCall 2y agoNo command ever says to love everyone equally. We are to fill our hearts with love, so that even if we have to protect the oppressed, we are not to be filled with hate or rage or take any pleasure in vanquishing the aggressor. We are to treat people according to what the society needs, for God's Will is peace and happiness for all human beings.
