Major difference between:

A) the Old Testament God: ”eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth”, or “thou shalt not suffer a witch in o live”, &

B) the New Testament Christ’s much more modern game theory: “turn the other cheek” or, “ love thy neighbor” or, ”greater love hath no man than this, that he lay his life down for another”.

Christianity is a radical New Testament story, and in a one sentence summary, it points to a more sophisticated conflict response, & identifies a superior game theory for modern conflicts, than “hitting back” (when increasingly many parties have or soon will have, WMD).

Similarly contra-posed are followers of Christ and followers of Trump.
