  Sure they might not have a home to go to or any resources or any real alternative to what they're doing right now but we can't just let them exist in ways that are inconvenient or unsightly!
context: The incident appears to have happened within the last several days, during extremely cold weather, outside of the Triple S Food Mart on Foster Drive in Baton Rouge.
  
  What kind of person does this?  And only gets a  misdemeanor summons. >
  
  This is typical behavior of "good christians" in the US. Governor Abbott sent children in t-shirts to DC during the artic storm of a lifetime. This is what christians refer to as "spreading the word" and the work of a "benevolent" god. >
  
  It really isn't typical at all. It's not unheard of, I'm afraid, but even as an atheist I recognize that most Christians are ambivalent about homeless people or else want to help them out. >
  
  Where are the outcries by the major christian cults over Abbott and DeSantis' treatment of migrant/asylum seekers? Texas has declared christianity as it's state religion. Texas Atty General claims that the chrisitan god planned the attack on the 19 children in Uvalde. Why won't christian charities want to operate under the same regulations all other NCOs do? Abbott put the homeless in Austin in a concentration camp so they wouldn't be seen by his lobbyists. >
  
  Most US Christians aren't related to any of these things is my point. The overwhelming majority of them arent even paying attention to this. If you want to focus on Texas then yeah, you're going to have a different population, but not all Christians are Texans, not all Texans are Christians, and not all Christians support this bullcrap Abbot and others are doing with people who come over the border. I beg of you to see the nuance in the world. >
  
  Okay, so where are the good Christians coming out to denounce their hateful brethren? Oh yeah, they’re sitting quietly. Enabling. >
  
  Have you even looked for them? >
  
  I have, at least. They're not really loud in terms of the leity like the evangelicals and such tend to be. The institutions themselves will here and there deliver a stern word, that is pretty consistent.
  The sentiment of distaste among many Christian denominations towards the religious right is very much alive, it's just never been vocal (by virtue of general aversion to confrontation and actually trying to love their neighbors) and continues not to when we need it to be most. >
  
  We treat homeless people like dirt in this country yet most of us are one disaster away from being homeless ourselves.
