This whole argument is so completely absurd.

Jesus said “Go into all the world and preach the gospel”.

Our response – become a bunch of navel gazing pew sitters who concern themselves with what is on the outside while the heart is a corrupt tomb. We discount people because they do not look like we think they should look.

How childish and far from the great commission can we be?

"... preach the gospel."

Probably a minor point, but I think He said "... make disciples."

"We discount people because they do not look like we think they should look. How childish and far from the great commission can we be?"

Amen. And judging on external things is exactly what Jesus told us NOT to do in John 7.
