I just had a “Christian” defend doing that with a string of Bible verses. Not even kidding. According to them, “charity shouldn’t be mandatory” and it’s in the Bible and this means killing millions of people and creating suffering in millions of others.
To be fair the values are ambiguous and not at all coherent or consistent page to page, and interpretations have managed to somehow adapt to the mindset of the ruling class for over 1500 years.
Not the US, but I have an acquaintance who is a “Christian”. She’s an immigrant. She goes to church with mostly nonwhite immigrants. She’s extremely racist, among other things. You can’t make that shit up 🤷🏻

These kind are experts at twisting the verse to ignore the values.
