Conservative Christians aren't Good Samaritans

More on the conservative hypocrisy re refugees:Retweeted Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte):

The way that so many Christians fall over themselves denying refuge to Syrians shows that their concept of Christian compassion is lacking.

Retweeted Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte):

To every self-identified Christian who denies Syrian refuge, I simply would ask them to read this:

Luke 10:25-37 New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Retweeted Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte):

And don’t tell me you’re afraid for your safety. Your own God told you to be afraid for your *soul* if you do not offer compassion.Be a Good Samaritan unless it's inconvenient or risky? Don't think that's what Jesus said.

The Republican Crisis Recycling Center: Syrian Refugee Edition

What's the difference between the Ebola virus and a Syrian refugee? Nothing, according to conservatives.

The Republican governors who are rejecting refugees are the same ones who allow our military veterans to be homeless and sleep on the streets and are willing to let poor people starve. They don't care about refugees because they don't care about humanity. They're cowards. Pitiful and despicable cowards.

Yep.
