On what basis do you believe the reduction was necessary? I've yet to see a well-reasoned argument for this.
The religious aspect is our Christian command to help to poor and the victimized. I focused on the refugee resettlements because Christians are very clearly commanded to help these populations and it's clearly a policy in which the Trump administration catered to certain nativist elements of the right while other elements of the right essentially turned a blind eye.
I expect you to look inward and perform some self-examination to see if the allegations are accurate. If they're accurate, I expect you to repent and change course. If they're not accurate, then I expect a well-reasoned response, articulating why you think it's prudent to accept fewer refugees (or zero, as seemed to be the ultimate goal), and whatever data you have to support your argument.
I haven't accused you of being "too involved in politics." That's a strawman driven by what I have to assume is your failure to accurately understand my argument.
I think you meant "hypocritical."
If you want to talk about credibility, try understanding my position first, instead of tearing down this simple-minded straw man you've constructed.
I don't accuse you of being a crappy Christian because you support the Republican platform. I accuse people of being crappy Christians for wrapping up their identities in the Republican party, for conflating Republican policy positions with Christian doctrine, for fear mongering and lying about their political opponents, for propagating myriad conspiracy theories, for describing their political opponents as demonic, and for whitewashing and presenting as appropriate obviously sinful or unChristian behavior from their political allies.
Yes you make my point. You are hypocritical for doing the exact things you accuse others of. I believe there is a scripture for that.
And leftist Christians have been doing that for sometime. And you are a willing participant in the hypocrisy.
The OP was about conservative Christians being too involved in politics. Cause our conservative ideas are not Christian enough. And you just admitted you believe your superior because your political ideas are more Christian.
I believe the Bible cause that being pharisaical. Jesus called them hypocrites.
I think the self examination begins with you.
You see I have no problem with having a discussion about things like helping refugees and how much we should be doing.
May I qoute parts of this on other sites?
Only if you agree with hypocritical thoughts.
