Thank you for removing the mask, Joel. Even if it may have been inadvertent. You have, of course, simply confirmed what I said in the first place. You are not an American Patriot. You are a Christian Globalist. Sey is a member of your tribe, and I am not. America is not your homeland, it's just where you keep your stuff. You do not feel loyalty to Americans, any more than you would feel loyalty to the guy who rents the storage unit adjacent to yours. The same goes for Western Civilization as a whole. The ethos of illegals who defy American custom and law, who disrespect the American people, by sneaking into our homeland to profit from us, makes complete sense to you. Because it is your ethos as well. You live in America not because America is special to you, or because you feel you owe it, and us, anything at all. You simply live America because it is comfortable and profitable to do so. Unfortunately, this is not currently considered sufficient legal grounds to deport you to wherever the homeland of Christian Globalists is, Ghana or Bethlehem or the afterlife, whatever. Up to you. So we can't rid ourselves of you just yet. But what puzzles me is why you think that membership in the Christian Globalist Tribe somehow gives you the legal and moral right to hand out tickets to America. The bible does not come with a green card stapled to it. America, and the right to hand out tickets to it, belongs to Americans. And, by your own admission, you are not one. That's what you said. Now, I'm sure that saying you are a citizen of the kingdom of god has a nice ring to it, and your Christian Globalist friends may all have clapped when you said it. But, unlike America, the kingdom of god is an idea. You haven't built it yet. You can't point to it on a map. And, while I'm sure you can think of lots of fine poetic-sounding metaphorical retorts about the kingdom of god living in the hearts of Christians everywhere, or something, you cannot actually go and live in that metaphor, because it's not a place, and it's not zoned for residential. We have to keep the physical place we live nice, and we are doing that the way humans have always done that — by physically controlling our borders and who gets to cross them. But you are not interested in these kinds of adult responsibilities. You are not interested in stewardship of the temporal earth, or the people on it. You have rejected this in favor of a lifestyle where your only responsibility is to love Jesus with the maximum possible intensity, and to miss no opportunity to tell everyone just how much you love him. Frankly, if I were Jesus, which I am very much fucking not, I would find this slightly creepy, and quietly ask you to maybe tone it down just a bit. But my concern is not the nature of your relationship with Jesus. I wouldn't even know about that relationship if you didn't insist on praying loudly on street corners. My concern is the future of America, the future of Western Civilization, and the future of humanity, all of which are intertwined, and all of which will suffer if you are allowed to sneak open borders in the back door, concealed in a hollowed-out bible.
