[quote=flu-redux][quote=zk][quote=FlyerInHi]When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 19:34[/quote]
Hilarious, Brian. As if religious people are going to look at a sacred text and suddenly agree with something they’d previously disagreed with. As if they actually follow the word of their god without twisting it around to meet their own desires. Please.[/quote]
I find the irony between those that support Trump and those claiming to be Christian.[/quote]
That’s because you’re looking at it from a superficial, one-dimensional perspective. If you consider all of the variables involved, you’ll see that, in general, these people are more worried about their economic, political, and social survival than their religion.
Brian’s quote also highlights the fact that the “immigrant issue” has been a problem throughout human history. Humans are tribal animals, and as such, it is perfectly natural for them to cling to what is most familiar to them, especially when resources are scarce and people feel threatened and insecure.
