Moses gives God’s law: “You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien; for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”You are kind of a dumbass, aren't you?
When the alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
“Give the members of your community a fair hearing, and judge rightly between one person and another, whether citizen or resident alien.” Originally Posted by southtown4488
They were a middle eastern family seeking shelter with a baby. . . now we just let them drown in the sea. The bible speaks directly to this point.

there was this big ass concert festival near Bethlehem and every place was booked with all the groupies, and roadies, and all the people from everywhere. It was a huge pre-Christmas like three day festival with vendors selling t-shirts and other memorabilia. The T-shirts had 0 B.C. festival on both sides.
Joseph did not think that Mary would want to go since she somehow got knocked up and they were not really sure how. Anyway, Mary decided at the last minute (you know women) that she wanted to go and price3line couldn't find them a room at all. Mary insisted and said that things would work out and she didn't care if she had to sleep in as stable. Must have been some good bands playing.
So off they went to Bethlehem and sure enough like all women, she decided to go into labor about the time they got there. Joseph managed to score a manger at one of the4 local crash pads and the rest is history. that is why we celebrate Christmas on December 25th and one of the top if not the top band playing was Santos and the Clauses. He had some great pyrotechnics with this tree and a cool light show too. Most people could not hear very well over the music and when they were introduced on the stage everybody thought they said Santa Claus. In the production he had this chariot roil by being pulled by some miniature donkeys that had some sticks tied to their head. About that time there was a smattering of rain and one of the guys wife asked what that was (meaning the miniature donkeys) and he said rain dear (thinking she was asking about the rain). Well that spread around to become reindeer and there were eight of them. Oh yeah I almost forgot, in the chariot a dude had a t-shirt cannon and was shooting t-shirts out to the crowd and everybody was in awe because they were getting gifts from Santa Claus.
Meanwhile back at the manger Mary was giving birth and somebody heard here screaming and said real loud, Jesus Christ somebody give her some pain meds. Right then the baby popped out and both of them said in unison, Jesus Christ as they had never heard that expression before and decided to name the new baby Jesus.
They were not refugees at all but just some regular folk that was looking for a good time during the holidays. Originally Posted by The2Dogs
