ParticipantU.S. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. wished her Twitter followers a Merry Christmas Tuesday by referring to the newborn Jesus as a “refugee.”
“Joy to the World!” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “Merry Christmas everyone – here’s to a holiday filled with happiness, family, and love for all people. (Including refugee babies in mangers + their parents.)”
Mary and Joseph are not depicted as refugees in the Nativity story. According to the Gospel of Luke, Joseph brings the pregnant Mary to Bethlehem so that he may enroll in a census ordered by the Roman emperor Agustus. The couple are forced to take shelter in the stable where Jesus is born due to a lack of room at the inn.
However, in the Gospel of Matthew, Mary and Joseph flee into Egypt with the infant Jesus after King Herod of Judea orders the murder of every boy aged two and under in Bethlehem after the Magi ask him where to find the newborn “King of the Jews.” The Holy Family escape the slaughter and are told by an angel to return to Israel once Herod is dead.

ParticipantBaby = infant, and fleeing to another country pretty much makes the family refugees. Sounds like she nailed it again.

The left’s argument that Jesus himself was a migrant falls apart like any other Bible driven argument used by the left does when you apply research and a little context.

As how been shown, actually he was, and his true nature is to be used as a mythological scapegoat and savior to lead the desperate into a foolish litany of bullshit to line the coffers of the Robertsons, the Falwells, and a host of other so called Christians that misuse the bible’s stories and admonitions to rip the willingly ignorant from their funds and morals.

Matthew 2:13-23 New International Version (NIV)
The Escape to Egypt
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[a]
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
Definition of refugee
: one that flees especially : a person who flees to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution

Which means you have no answer to your extremely incorrect assertion that JC was not a refugee.

Plus he low balled the percent of atheists who identify as Democrats. I routinely attend conferences such as given by FFRF, CFI, and American Atheists and never meet Republican atheists. So there’s only one Republican atheist: Mark.

But you conservatives are missing the point. Your lack of humanity (which makes you rightwing conservatives) makes you blind to Jesus’ teachings. Rightwing conservatism makes one inhumane, apathetic, barbaric and inferior human beings with all due respect.

Willis looks like she needs to read her bible more and then tell us how fleeing to Egypt to stay alive isn’t being a refugee.
You don’t have to go to church to show stupidity but it helps.
