A creche for our times. Xtianists have been the focus of political debate in regard to religion so it’s nice to see some actual Christians making a strong statement.

Kind of off topic but i was going to make a snarky comment along the lines of “But do they support the LGBT community?”, figured i should look it up and i am glad i did my research.

Granted, the blue-eyed, fair-faired, fair-skinned depictions of said biblical figures goes against (among other things) what people at that time in that part of the world probably looked like, but in this case it’s okay; the unlikely depictions here might make racists and anti-immigrants feel a bit more sympathetic.

One of the most important:
- Donate to RAICES, a nonprofit that provides low-cost legal defense services to immigrant families. Donate directly to the RAICES ‘LEAF’ Project here. Donate directly to the RAICES Family Reunification and Bond Fund here.

clever but I’m sticking with “religion never fixed anything”
you really need “god” to know putting children and now families with children in cages is wrong? because you are broken if you cannot grasp that without clinging to religion as guidance and cannot emphasize to imagine you and your family in a cage for weeks and weeks for doing nothing wrong but trying to escape the violence in your country
now let’s see them put displays in MALLS like this with ordinary families, live actors would be awesome, in cages - let spoiled shoppers process that

From me… an ex-alter boy… and longtime atheist: I think the current situation could use help from ALL quarters of the ‘belief spectrum’. Personally, I have no problem standing next to some politically like-minded holy-roller from Kansas while pissing on Trump and his goose-steppers.

Do not even get me started on the Jedi Order’s family separation policy.
