helping and protecting the poor, the helpless and the disabled. Extremist conservatives have tried to hijack Christianity to justify crimes of humanity that Jesus never condoned. He wanted us to accept immigrants and stranger into our homes if they need help. I know this is supposed to be an amusing satire or parody, but I see it as justifying the right wing attacks on the love, mercy and forgiveness Jesus preached. I suggest we focus on love rather than hate.
