Loser on a forum:

Seems to me, finding another more suitable place to house these people would have been a better solution

Empty tautology; I’m sure these “suitable place(s)” are readily offered, as exemplified by the existence of homeless people. If the city has an issue then they can build free housing and provide free services for these people in whatever “zone” is appropriate (they won’t).

“A church is a suitable place.” Not according to the zoning laws where it is.

The Bible according to these people: “And Jesus commanded everyone to help the needy and the poor (unless zoning laws forbade it).”

surely they could have found a better place to care for the homeless than somewhere that wasn't suitable for that purpose.

I think I’m actually going insane. Why is it not suitable? Why do these laws made to prop up businesses take precedence over the life of actual humans? Do they think God came up with these “zoning laws”?

    This boils my blood.

    Matthew 25: 42-45
    For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.

    Make no mistake, if the second coming happened today Jesus would be left to die in the cold by a self professed Christian.

    There was a post about an idea for a Christmas movie where Jesus comes again and, after getting incarcerated for assault and battery against a megachurch pastor. When witnessing the cruelty of the American prison system, he then unites all his inmates who then successfully rebel against the entire prison. I can't find the post though.

    No one is stopping any Christian from opening their home to any of those homeless people.

    doubt

    Literally on an article about how someone is stopping them from opening a place to homeless people.

    Also anybody who makes the "you should personally solve the societal problem instead of trying to solve it through societal programs" argument should get a free pass to the front of the wall line
