A self-proclaimed atheist weaponizing scripture to support a political stance? Very few things infuriate me more than the selective use of scripture to push political ideology, especially from non believers. Leviticus 19:33–34 is not about open borders. The Hebrew word "ger" referred to a resident alien, a Gentile who settled in Israel, accepted Israel's laws, and lived peaceably in the land. Moses could have used several words here, like zar (stranger, outsider, unauthorized person, modern equivalent: illegal alien), nokri (outsider or foreigner, modern equivalent: non-resident or foreign national) or toshav (sojourner or temporary settler, modern equivalent: seasonal worker or temporary visa holder), Moses chose ger, and it's an important distinction. The ger were basically like green card holders, they could participate in society and even worship as a Jew if they followed the law, and God told Israel not to mistreat these lawful residents. This verse was never about rewarding outsiders who defied the law or exploited the system. This garbage from
@itsdeaann is straight out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, where Alinsky wrote, "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules," even though Withers Leviticus 19:33–34 reference is a total misrepresentation. That principle was central to Alinsky's political strategy, which was overtly Marxist (Alinsky literally dedicated his book to Satan, not hyperbole). Any Christian buying this crap has been duped by either the Social Gospel or Liberation Theology, both distortions of Christianity from the early 20th century that have turned individual faith into political activism and social engineering instead of a personal relationship with God.
