No irony involved. It is only logical that a Christian organization would act in a Christian manner. What is ironic is the paltry amount of such action.
Yes. The key word here is ACT. Is the government calling on churches to come to the border to help take care of the children/families? No. The government is already doing that, and isn't calling for assistance in that regard. As I already pointed out, churches are taking care of the needy in their own communities and also have missionaries and other programs to help the poor and destitute in other countries. The children at the border are given more than the children in our own communities. Then, there are the issues of child trafficking and minors traveling alone. The last I heard (and I haven't triple checked this) is that of the two thousand children, all but seventy are minors traveling alone or those who are victims of human trafficking. The stated reason for the children separated is criminal activity by the parents.
Looking into all of this, we have a problem of child trafficking, drug trafficking, and illegal entry along parts of our border. This is a problem that must be stopped. Parents truly seeking asylum have no fear of their family being separated when they come through the legal ports of entry.
Okay, so why is the far left, many who do not practice Christianity, suddenly screaming at Christians? It is because, just like the Crusades, just like the Inquisition, just like the Reformation, people whose interest is in politics need a larger, stronger base--and Christians will provide that for them if they can be manipulated into joining their politics. You people have no interest in the children. You want power in politics and you need Christians numbers to make it all work. No thank you. We will continue with helping those in our community, we will continue to help fund missionary work. But we will never again become puppets for a political base. We are Christians, we serve God, not some political purpose or those with their own agenda.
