Well…after reading the stories of all of the hate directed at the refugees that have been coming across the southwest border of the US from some supposed “christians”, it was heartening to read an article a few minutes ago about the coalition of churches in Texas that have banded together to provide relief for these unfortunate people. That is what I grew up with in the UCC…although I’m an atheist now, I still appreciate the ideals that come from some of the teachings and it makes me feel good that there are still some good people in this country that don’t hate…that see the suffering of fellow human beings and feel compelled to do something about it….so I applaud these folks for living their religious principles….not many do anymore….
