    Helps if you read it as “care about others[parishoners]” not “care about others[foreigners, minorities, and other faiths]”

    Ministers love to talk about charity when they’re passing around the collection plate. It never comes up on tax day.

      That is a good point while honestly I can’t think of a vague group like “others” without thinking of including my e.g. mom and also a random person from who knows where. We are brothers and sisters. And I don’t understand how i could have learn anything else from Jesus’ teachings and I am now a non believer.
