Be wary of any belief or ideology that promotes division between you and other people..

… if someone tells you that hating someone else is the only way for you to succeed, or be safe.

Stop and ask yourself: who does that really help…?

@markinkansas Jews call non Jews gentiles. Muslims call non Muslims kaffars. Christian’s have no such term for non Christian’s .

@AthrillatheHuntHeathen" refers to someone who does not acknowledge the God of the Bible, and therefore is not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. It's a dated term that can also be used disapprovingly to describe someone as uncultured or uncivilized. Historically, it was used by Christians to refer to non-Christians, particularly those in Germanic Europe.
@markinkansas "Pagan" also used to mean something like "hick" or "redneck."

@markinkansas the Roman’s also referred to non Roman’s as barbarians . The term heathen predates the acceptance of Christianity. It originally meant non Jewish .
