On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

Galatians 6:10 Galatians 6:10 (close)

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Yet that desire to be different, special, the centre of Creation,
can conflict with our concern for others.

If we are so special do others count, as much?
Can we not exploit them as we will?

This is a theology that can lead down very unethical paths,
as it has done so many times in the past
and continues to do so today.
