The bible also says to, and I quote, "treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt".
Don't see many Christians arguing for unlimited and unfettered migration, or offering recent migrants equal rights and a passport.
All too often the things you own, end up owning you.
When diplomacy fails, there's only one alternative: violence. Force must be applied without apology - It's the Starfleet way.
The problem is that if they become too progressive, they lose the extremist conservatives too. Some of them are already angry about the Catholic mass not being in latin or have flown off into anti-vaxx adjacent lands.
TBF there are plenty of religious extremists who would agree with that statement.
Plenty are also anti-vaxx. Partly explains the opposition to universal healthcare in the US too. Goes against their religion.
45% approval rating according to the latest poll:

Remember to vote.
The Saudi royals aren't universally particularly religious. Mostly educated at American universities, IRC this one went to the US. Love to party and drink.
They pretend they're religious, because it affords them political legitimacy, and because the clergy are so influential. But in reality they often try to curtail the power of the clergy.
Paraphrasing what you said and asking you to clarify what you mean doesn't make me an anti-semite.
But I suppose it's as close as you'll ever get to becoming self-aware, that you're accusing me of anti-semitism for repeating your own words back at you.
e: I think I'll block you now. Probably for the best. The whole 'they control the media' thing is icky.
Vanity. It's the Devil's favourite sin.
Gotcha. You think that Israeli Jews and their western allies control all mainstream media.
Thanks for the clarification.
Ah, so like linkerbaan you think that Israeli Jews and their western christian allies control the media.
Thanks for the clarification.
I have a related degree. Sorry, but no. There's a high probability it's within a few percentage points of that number.
This isn't an ABC poll. It's a page on ABC's website which tracks polls published by polling companies.
The 45% is from a polling company with a sufficiently large sample size. This isn't just one isolated poll. You can keep scrolling, and you'll see similar figures from multiple polling companies. The chance that a hundred polls are all wrong, is very low.
You may have heard of YouGov, a UK based polling company with a good reputation. As you can see they have a poll they published last week which has Trump at 46% favourable. If you click on yougov it'll link you to the full poll data, so you can read about their methodology, and how they weighted things so that the sample is as representative as possible.
And yes, the good pollsters weigh the data so it better reflects the population. No, they don't only phone old people anymore. Those days are largely gone, outside the occasional partisan poll.
