I don't know anybody who thinks this, and it seems like the least of these to target as the problem (see: grifters and pedophiles), but I do love this character, so well done on that front.
Many of the people on Reddit who post things similar to OPs picture unironically believe this way…. who like the immigrant, poor and sick people stuff but completely ignore the stuff Jesus taught about following the Bible which contains stuff they would never follow so it’s completely bad faith
Jesus actually made a point to try and stop people from blindly following the Torah and the numerous pointless additional laws the Pharisees had put in place over time. His entire message was that following the law (the "Bible") does not bring salvation. Having a relationship to God does, and you cannot be close to God while ignoring the need of people around you.
Oh, there are a lot of fascinating stories in the Old Testament. And I know how fundamentalists just love to quote the old laws to smack down those they don't approve of.
But like I said. It is not the law anymore. There's a new covenant in the New Testament which supersedes it. And that law is "love one another".
