They can be settled next door to him

Great picture. Take it to another level:

Why aren’t these men staying in Syria to fight ISIS?

[Rockitz]

Notice how easy it is for elites who live in gated communities with personal security to quote the bible.

[gtwizard]

Don’t you just wonder how his audience is screened? Imagine him welcoming 200 Syrian immigrants, fresh off the boat from the homeland, into his studio without a thorough screening?

Rich guy, big house... how many are you taking in personally?

[moovova]

Stephen Colbert...trying to stay relevant in the face of declining ratings.

Matthew 25:35-40King James Version (KJV)

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

[Safetgiver]

What does your post mean? I thought suicide was forbidden in Christianity?

[bmwcyle]

Not what you just said. I posted the whole text because you were discussing the text without posting. You should never do that.

Then, Colbert joked, "Why shouldn't we be afraid of three-year-olds? You think we can't negotiate with terrorists? Try negotiating with a three-year-old. They play hardball."

Refugee supporters admit that perhaps one-tenth of one percent of the 10,000 refugees might be terrorists, but we should not abandon the remaining 99.9% simply because of a few "bad apples".

Oh?

Try finding a hair in your food at the restaurant...

Seems like the Late Show has become a major mechanism of indoctrination.

No; ALL TV has been for a long, LONG time now.

[Elsie]

First I'm surprised that he could find a bible. Second, how many "refuges" has he invited to stay with him?

Go ye into all the world...

It says NOTHING about having ALL THE WORLD come to you.

[Elsie]

Ah, yes, being lectured by the noted Biblical scholar Stephen Colbert. His words carry so much authority.

But; in the land of the blind; the one-eyed man is king.
