Learned a little about the Sacred Heart icon (Catholic). It's apparently seen as a symbol of divine love and set in households so that that burning love can be emulated. They say love can keep you on the path to virtue, and prevent one from lapsing into sin.

But often love is used as an argument for universalism, tolerance for bad behavior, acceptance of migrants, welfare, and the like.

Can a Christian make the argument that love begins with one's home and emanates out from that? That just as love motivates you to protect your loved ones from invaders, it might also motivate you to protect your people, country, or heritage? That love, even divine love, might lead you to act in aggression or intolerance of certain people or behaviors?

Or is it pretty much all love thy invader?

You give me hope for Christians.

Why do you say that?

Just seen a lot of bluepilled Christians who literally interpret 'love thy neighbor' and 'turn the other cheek' as don't defend your or your people's self-interest. I worried perhaps that's what's being taught in churches or disseminated through Christian groups.

It's good to know at least there is another view. Maybe that viewpoint is offered in Christian groups as well.

It's not that it's an alternative view, but that it's an obstructed, if not otherwise suppressed, view. The people who were cultured during the 1960's who've been coming to dominance in various institutions and organizations have worked feverishly to keep us all distracted and ignorant of the truth. Those that know are punished for sharing such knowledge, if they're in any way dependent upon the organizations for their livelihood. Ultimately, confirming that the church has been infiltrated.
