Kadizzle recently received a peculiar email from someone tied to an opposing political group. I’ll change the name to protect the sender, though the irony of their message is hard to ignore. They emphasized the need to “love your enemy.” Strange advice, coming from a person whose entire organization thrives on creating enemies.
Now, Kadizzle is not a religious man. But it never ceases to amaze him how loudly right-wing groups drape themselves in the language of faith, while their actions betray the very teachings they claim to uphold. They preach love on Sunday and practice division Monday through Saturday.
Here is my response to this person:
Person,
I believe there’s a good human being somewhere inside you. The tragedy is that you’ve been caught in a fog—pulled into the wrong crowd by the powerful lure of belonging. You are not without talent. You have leadership skills and a sharp mind, strong enough to see through the trap you’ve stumbled into.
Human beings crave connection. That need for companionship and shared purpose is deep in our bones. But it’s also the same force that allows destructive groups to flourish. History is littered with examples: mobs, cults, political movements built on fear. They thrive by convincing people that division is strength, that hate is holy, that enemies are everywhere.
And yet—if you truly believe in Jesus, how do you reconcile His message of compassion with the cruelty and lies that echo from your side? How do you square His call to love your neighbor with leaders who sow fear, strip away rights, and call it righteousness?
Maybe you already feel it, even if you don’t admit it—the faint stirrings of doubt, the quiet awareness that something doesn’t add up. That tiny spark matters. It’s the part of you that still hungers for truth.
You can choose a different path. You can step away from those who profit from your anger, those who keep you locked in delusion. You can seek a philosophy built on real love, compassion, and truth—the very things Jesus actually stood for, not the twisted version paraded for political gain.
Drink from a different cup, Person. You deserve better than the poison you’ve been handed. And if you do, you might find that the enemy you’ve been taught to hate was never your enemy at all.
