So today, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that there will be no asylum for people from foreign countries attempting to escape domestic or gang violence. One would think that the evangelical community would be up in arms about it. After all, they are so into exact interpretations of the Bible, which contains many verses admonishing folks to care for strangers.
Think again. Better yet, allow me to focus on one prominent evangelical leader, Franklin Graham. Do you think he has anything to say about this? Sometimes, simple tweets tell a sad, but pertinent message:
Hours later, no such luck:

@Franklin_Graham i know you have a lot on your plate with attacking gays but in light of what the Bible says about how we should treat strangers . . well anytime you wanna weigh in would be super . . yeah . . https://t.co/QhNV11PKcR— Holy Bullies (@holybullies) June 11, 2018
John Kluge was forced to resign over the district’s transgender student policy. They now require teachers to refer to transgender students by their preferred name & pronoun rather than their birth name & gender they were born. That’s ridiculous. 1/3 https://t.co/ytJwWUWv5e— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) June 11, 2018
John loves his job, but after he prayed about it, he determined he couldn’t do this because it is wrong & he believes it’s harmful to the students.— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) June 11, 2018
John wants his job back—but he wants his freedom of speech too! John’s school board is meeting TONIGHT! Will you pray for him? 2/3
That’s why I believe it’s so important for Christians run for school boards across the country—to put a stop to this kind of wicked agenda being promoted within our education system. 3/3— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) June 11, 2018

There are more verses in the Bible telling folks to treat strangers with kindness than there are about attacking the LGBTQ community. It's a shame that Graham is so busy condemning that he doesn't care about saving.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that Graham and his ilk are actually followers of Christ. They worship Caesar and Mammon -- not necessarily in that order.
