Putting baby Jesus in zip ties places the Christmas story as a polemic against the Trump administration and its immigration law enforcement. Here in Dallas and elsewhere, individuals have been motivated by these narratives to attempt to kill ICE agents. Despite the virtues signaled by many Christian pastors across the United States, the demonization of law enforcement is not consistent with the teaching and praxis of Jesus. In fact, Mary and Joseph conformed to difficult imperial mandates compelling them to move and register in the hometown of Joseph. Herod is the dark evil figure of the Christmas story, and the elite theology of American Jacobins cast ICE agents as his evil enforcers. But Jesus did not demonize the Roman soldiers that dominated the legal landscape of Judea. In fact, an arguable cause to his ultimate demise was to publicly praise a Roman soldier as having “the greatest faith in all of Israel.” This certainly did not sit well rhetorically with an elite itching to throw off the Roman Empire.

The Democratic Party is a religion.
These are all signs of places to avoid like the plague.
Who knew that so many churches were involved in human smuggling?
And in stealing. And in protecting the guilty from facing justice.
It’s almost like they’ve never even heard of the Ten Commandments.
Fools!
‘Tis the season to be tribal
folly lalala la la la la
Pretty darn low and against Jesus’s testimony about violence against ICE agents. Remember the story when the pharisees tried to catch Jesus in a plot to arrest him. Jesus’ reply “give unto Caesar’s what is Ceasar’s and what is God’s give to God.”
Play politics, lose tax exempt status. These churches should pay taxes.
ICE is helping all these invaders return to their home countries to be counted correctly in their census there.
These “churches” are no longer churches.
They have become secularized and political.
Their leaders have switched their allegiance from the Bible to political policy.
The left seeks violence against anyone who doesn’t agree with their agenda. Even being neutral isn’t enough.
“Silence is violence.” So even the disinterested must be punished.
This cannot end well.
Not Churches
The county assessor will be there on Monday.
The DemoRAT party is an existential enemy of this country, and had better be treated that way soon.
Not a church. A gathering place for the damned.
The Holy Family had to check in with Roman outposts on the Egyptian border checking for tax-evading smugglers.
The attempted analogy fails on all levels.
How Christian of them.🙄
