    Well then I suppose thats a good example of why “Christian nationalism” and the whole idea of a Christian nation doesn’t make sense. Every single citizen of the Kingdom that is not of this earth is responsible for following the instructions of the King. Meanwhile here in America there are always excuses why we can’t heal the sick or feed the hungry.

      That’s only true if you believe it’s the government’s duty to take care people.

        The nanny state. Doesn’t interest me.

        Donate to the charity you want but don’t use my tax money for programs that wasteful and ineffective.

          Oh you guys. If you come upon someone hurt, do you say to yourself “I must make sure this is a US citizen before I try to help.” Do you check for ID and an insurance card before administering first aid or calling an ambulance?

          If you are not religious, fine, it doesn’t matter: be as cynical and xenophobic as you like.

          Anyone who says they are Christian or advocates for a “Christian nation” should understand that the parable of the good Samaritan applies not only to individuals but Christians collectively.

          Anyone who uses religious language to make themselves seem moral and righteous, but then says illegals don’t deserve healthcare, that person is a hypocrite. Don’t vote for them.

      You are free to heal the sick or feed the hungry. Nobody is stopping you from using your money to do either. Donate to any charity you see fit.
