  4. In Christ world there are no continents. He made the world for everyone, unless you don’t believe in our creator. The sun shines on us all. I’m an army veteran and I am disappointed on so much hatred. Remember one day we will all be held accountable for our actions, then what will you say?

    In the gnostic gospels Jesus responds to a questions about Roman taxes (ie. Roman Law) by saying “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”.

    This is widely considered to represent Jesus’ secular view of government. I am sure alternative interpretations exist but I thought I would share.

    Nonetheless, the man this protest was about, Rene Meza Huertha, had the police called on him because he was accused of CHILD ABUSE on a 911 call. When he was pulled over the police found two of his children in the storage compartment of his vehicle, obviously not wearing seat-belts. As a part of Arizona law, when charging someone with a crime, officers have to verify citizenship; that is why the Border Patrol was called.

    What does Jesus say about child abuse? ( I don’t think “turn the other cheek” applies here)

  9. Taking jobs kills a persons country. They should have deported these guys. Putting your children in your trunk can kill them. String him up. What turds.
