No my risible friend. i believe in duty and honour above all else. even if i hated these people i would save them. When duty demands there is no thought process as to who or what they are or any political considerations. This is something you can not understand. You are a sheep, i am a sheep dog.

A sheep dog guards the sheep because he thinks the sheep are his...
No sense of morality, duty or honour is required of the dog.
'A sheep dog guards the sheep because he thinks the sheep are his...'
NoN,
The sheep dog guards the sheep, because the sheep dog
has a desire, to please his human master.
And, even we humans [the judges of what is 'good' and/or 'evil', in our world!], attribute a worthy morality [i.e. the doing of right things] to the sheep dog who faithfully guards the masters sheep.
And so it will be with men also, with those men who in their pilgrimage through this life,
rightfully discern [i.e. they
discriminate] between good and evil in this life.
Rightfully ?
Rightfully, according to who ?
Rightfully, according to our creator.
Deuteronomy 4:5
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

The sin of condoning sin
To murder is one thing. To justify murder and say murder is OK
is something else; it is a sin of a higher magnitude.
To engage in adultery is one thing; to say adultery is OK (not
wrong) is something else --- an even greater sin. Why?
Because it represents moral perversion.
The same thing holds with homosexuality. To do it is one
thing; to condone it, deny that it is sin is a sin of
another order of magnitude.
To sin is one thing; but to say sin is not sin is diabolic.

Psalms 7:11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Psalms 11:4
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Proverbs 15:9
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Proverbs 17:15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
Proverbs 21:15
It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 24:24
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
Proverbs 28:4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
Proverbs 29:27
An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
Malachi 3:13
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

2 Timothy 2:19
....The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
