[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 72224756, member: 21246"] Yes but it comes down to what you mean by that. There is no equivalence between good and evil, people have different levels of gifts, some people are not saved and have no future and so are not equivalent to believers who have both these things. In the bible there is neither equality of outcome or opportunity in this life nor is it recommended e.g. Parable of the Talents. Yes all humanity should be respected cause it bears Gods image and yes Christians are called to action when faced with absolute poverty and oppression of their brothers and sisters. But a pagan from a dysfunctional godless culture has less real value in practice than a Christian from a functional culture. Yes all people are equal before the law but some people and some cultures are toxic and others uplifting. There has been a lack of reality and discrimination about this topic for some time and actually I am grateful for Trumps complete insensitive to politically correct norms. It is a time for renewal not deadening diplomacy. The immigration debate hinges around two main questions in my view? Are we obliged to help economic immigrants find a new home and what should we do about that? One answer is to build a wall and shut people out, another to build a wall and help people where they live. Another option is to let them all in? A fourth option is have some common sense and control about how immigration works and let only approved people in. My preferred option is the fourth combined with a more developed Aid budget to help people in their indigenous countries. [/QUOTE]
