I'm not emotionally tied to strangers.
What happened to "love thy neighbour as thyself"?
Cherrypick much?
Jesus died for strangers. I can't honestly say that I would follow His example.
I can't honestly say that I love my neighbors, let alone my enemies...and I don't think that I would turn the other cheek.
Some posters responded that they would die in the place of 10 strangers. I think, that in all reality, if placed in that situation, they wouldn't die for a stranger any more than I would.
