Charlie, you can characterize my social justice blatherings as leftist hogwash if you wish, but when your own God is saying something in your own Bible--over and over and over again--you might do well not to harden your heart to that, at least.
I don't think it's necessary for me to trot out specific verses to convince you that the Bible is emphatically in favor of people doing things to take care of widows and orphans. And the poor and oppressed. And foreigners.
Furthermore, the Bible frequently defines evildoers as those who fail to respond with mercy and compassion to those in need.
So when you're talking of the smiting of evildoers...are you 100% sure that your definition of evildoers agrees with the definition that the one actually doing the smiting goes by?
[Then again, maybe a specific verse will help. Take another look at
Matthew 25:31-45.]
