Donner,

"Fake Plastic Christian."

I have you know I'm titanium.

Donner,

"There is a thread up about religion and faith awaiting your fake plastic (titanium) input"

Do you believe that unless someone is getting arrested or protesting, they aren't a real Christian?

This whole situation is bad for America and for the people caught up in it. Their options are minimal.

As I've said repeatedly, I support a fast track for vetted immigrants. That seems like a humane and responsible approach.

What I won't pretend to know is exactly where Jesus would stand on people breaking border laws or fighting law enforcement.

I'm not going to claim with absolute certainty what I believe Jesus might say. He'd have a clever parable.

Regardless, no one else should get to tell me what my faith should look like or what I should think.

I'll leave it at, "I don't know". Thank God no one in my family will get caught up in that.

Donner,

Seriously, I find it hard to read stories about children and women and families being terrified by ICE.

So I don't. I know horrible things go on all the time but I don't need detailed descriptions and videos to verify it.

Choosing not to traumatize myself with every detail doesn't mean I approve of what's happening. Some people can handle watching that sort of pain. I'm not less Christian, less compassionate, or less informed because I don't treat human suffering like entertainment.

Donner,

If I had to guess, Jesus might say that enforcing laws is the government's job, and doing so humanely is part of that responsibility.

What should happen is a fair and quick vetting system should be implemented and make it a high priority. Keep citizens and illegals safe.

Donner,

A rich man asked Jesus what he should do to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said give away your money to the poor and needy.

The rich man was disheartened because he couldn't do that.

Jesus doesn't think like the natural world. It just seems unfair Jesus would give this answer. Once again we see an example that we need the mercy that comes from believing Jesus is God and that earning your way to God's good favor thru actions isn't possible on your own.

Regarding the immigrants, would Jesus tell us all to open our homes, take them in and feed them? Again, this is an answer that seems unfair or unreasonable.

I've written that the border and illegals must be handled as a secular issue.

Trying to justify our actions with scripture might not even be possible.

What,

"There was bipartisan immigration reform an the table just last year... until Trump scuttled it. But it seems like "titanium dioxide" Christians have a selective memory."

Did it include riders Republicans didn't agree with?

What,

I seem to recall Biden wanted to build more processing centers.

Money was in the bill for that.

Corky,

I commend you for bringing them in your home. How many do you have?

I don't have any.

Doc,

Bringing strangers into your home is probably not a good idea. Ideally, doing that would certainly be putting your money where your mouth is.

In reality though, the best solution to handle this massive group of millions is likely not something you can find in scripture.

Clown,

"Not sure why anyone is commenting on this troll thread meant to distract from Trump's pedophilia and failing economy."

I hold people captive with my magnetic personality.
