Which part of their religion requires them to let people set their church on fire?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?"
Jesus sacrificed his life (his body) for the undeserving sinners of the world. If his body was a temple also, then I think there is a strong argument to be made that the service of others at the cost of damaging a temple is the trade Jesus made.
And if we (Christians) are called to act like Christ, then I think we're on the hook for that.
And, even without that, if you even just came at it from a WWJD perspective... "Hey Jesus, we got some poor hungry cold homeless people up in here, what should we do?" I think "build a fence to keep them out" isn't even close.
i ripped off Timothy Schmalz
Stealing this, including the caveat.
Thanks. :)

Will do. Thanks again.
You write 'vandals' funny.
I'm sorry for whatever happened to you that has caused you to be so callous towards other humans. Nobody is born that way.
That’s up to God, the church accepts all because we’re not ones to judge
Maybe give them a place to have fires lol. You're a church you don't pay taxes and your religion calls on you to take care of the unhoused
Bring them inside! It’s a church for gods sake, they can find a way to aid these people
Hey, if they want to make shit harder on the homeless, they should at least admit that they don't give a fuck about the teachings of the person they claim to worship.
