Leaders of the United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church, the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church all have criticized the law as running counter to biblical teachings about caring for neighbors, helping visitors and showing hospitality to strangers.

Except for the UMC, those denominations do not have large memberships in Alabama. And the UMC has long been associated with leftist causes nationally.

This does not represent as many Christians as the article might lead readers to believe.

"counter to biblical teachings about caring for neighbors, helping visitors and showing hospitality to strangers."

Applying that concept to this situation is so far out of the Biblical context that I simply don't know where to begin. But then, a lot of these liberal churches stopped interpreting scripture correctly a long time ago.

Indeed. It is only the left field churches and they are not plentiful in Alabama.
