Let us share a trend from Christian Action Network’s Facebook page, where supporters “Like†the things we do and haters bombard us with profanity and/or insults.
When we announced our recent petition drive to keep Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe from settling Syrian refugees in our home state (it’s still open; sign it here), the negative reactions all had a similar tone: that we are “unchristian†for opposing a huge, hasty and very political importation of strangers into our midst from a region known for terrorism and extremist violence.
Here are some choice examples:
You get the idea. We don’t practice what we preach. We are hypocrites.
Because Christian people strive to be self-aware and mindful of their own sins, that really hurts. On its face, it seems so true! The president of the United States himself even needles us with it, accusing us in public of being unwilling to help suffering women and children.

Of course it isn’t. What’s really hilarious about this is that the left is suddenly worried about America’s christian values.
Our Lord Jesus warned us against false prophets and Mohammed fits the description of a false prophet.
Your tagline sums it up nicely.
Why do liberals care so much about being Christian or being Christ like when all they do is going around trying to remove Jesus from society?
I'd also like someone to point me to the commandment that we should spend so much on foreigners — “refugees” and illegals — while we have veterans and so many others we can't care for adequately because we don't have the resources for them.
As Pastor Jeffress reminded us so eloquently on Hannity last week: “Don’t mistake the bible requirements for an individual with the bible requirements for a government.”
It’s true. As individuals we are to be helpful, forgiving, and kind in our relationships with others.
But governments are to carry the sword and bring judgment on wrongdoers.
Romans 13: 4 ... But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
The government’s role and responsibilities are not the same as the individual’s. It only makes sense.
Christianity is not a suicide pact.
The "revelation" that Mohammed claims to have received is so totally at odds with EVERYTHING in Judeo-Christian Scripture that it is IMPOSSIBLE to conclude that it came from God.
In the Bible when an angel visited someone (Mary, Joseph, Zacharias), he FIRST made sure that they were not afraid. Mohammed makes no mention of this and actually remained afraid and unsure for sometime AFTER the visitation. My belief is that he was actually visited by either Satan or one of his demons.
As for the refugees, America has a long history of taking in political refugees. However, we have NEVER accepted refugees from a culture that was committed to our destruction and we certainly shouldn't start now.
There are plenty of Muslim countries with the room and resources to take in Syrians who are fleeing and if necessary the United States can provide humanitarian support.
We don't blindly accept people here from nations who don't want to destroy us, why should we from nations that do? The French have been welcoming the dregs of the Muslim world for decades and look where it got them.
Regardless of whatever argument you wish to stand by, according to 8 US Code 1158 they are not considered ‘refugees’ that can seek asylum. Bringing them to the US would violate our laws.
this is just a variation of the story of the frog and the scorpion. We know what islam is and it will not change by allowing these ‘refugees’ into our country.
Good article.
I will need to be ready for my far-left brother in-law who is a priest, whom I will be seeing this Thanksgiving.
IS IT UNCHRISTIAN TO REFUSE CHRISTIAN REFUGEES?
Agree!
I did not know that suicide was a ‘Christian” virtue.
Since when??
As someone here on FR said recently: “If I offered you 10 thousand pieces of candy and told you that a hundred of them were poisoned, would you still take them?”
The interjection of what is or is not about the Syrian refugees is of no signifigance
Monday morning quarterbacking by the supporters of a pedophile.
Mohammed then wrote a book that diametrically opposes our Judeo-Christian bible
Best intel indicates Mo was an illiterate and stole a lot and
had stuff copied piecemeal from other sources. A proto-blogger.
commands its followers to invade its neighbors and conquer by terror
It'll be interesting when they roll up onto the wrong infidels.
Islam is on a quest to convert or kill all Jews and Christians and dominate the earth.
Well, they can sure give it a shot.
Then again, they might roll up on the wrong infidels.
You never know about those guys.
Pork ribs tonight by the way, Insh'Allah.
Excerpt from the 1801 Inaugural Address of Thomas Jefferson"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. . . . About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you, it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies; the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided; absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism; a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened; the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith; encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid; the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason; freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
Inch Allah, my butt.
I want a whole two foot rack
