So you love and accept everyone as Jesus died, except for people claiming to be Christian that you deem intolerant?

That's not exactly what Jesus would do.

We cannot save the world. If you would allow your family members to starve in the street while taking in strangers to feed - then shame on you.

What does religion have to do with how we run our country?

I call BS. Prove it.

Is it intolerant for a country to want its own citizens to be looked after and assisted first, and foremost? Are all the citizens of Switzerland, Canada, Norway, and so on...all phony Christians for enforcing their borders and not taking every soul in the universe in? You should be shamed for spewing such garbage.

Way not to answer the question.

Fake christians are the ones who are intolerant, not me. Perhaps you should talk to them to understand why.

post after post after post, with people more concerned that someone might get to their money than they are about dying children. And yet not a single post from anyone with even a scintilla of evidence about how this medical care for these sick kids is paid for other than one mention of someone being part of a research study, where the costs are borne by a private company. All just assumptions that conflate immigration status with the cost of medical treatment.

You feel the need to call out and shame people who don't agree with you. That isn't at all tolerant. And it's far from Christian, if you're going to play that game.

What part is fantasy? Are you denying that generational welfare recipients who reliably vote Republican exist, or are you simply saying I shouldn’t care about that because non-whites also get welfare?

I’m opposed to all forms of welfare abuse. So I’ll certainly point out the hypocrisy of a legion of MAGA proponents who subsist entirely on taxpayer-funded government benefits. I personally pay enough in annual taxes to fund a family of redhats. Or a family of Mexicans, for that matter. It’s pretty rich when people who get free stuff without producing complain about other people who get free stuff without producing.

Oh please. I'm not calling them out because they don't agree with me. I'm calling them out for being fake.

As deemed by you.

It doesn't matter why you're calling out people and shaming them - the only thing that matters is that you are.

Very intolerant and not at all Christ-like.
