    I thought he said Texas was going to eliminate rape when they banned abortion? Now he’s using it as a threat? Sounds like he controls the process…

    headline should be “texas buys billboards…”. It’s not the governor paying for them.

    Even if the billboards are not in the US, the pride and media coverage seems to OK Texans to rape, even if the governor meant that perhaps Caravans or “foreign immigration helpers” are unsafe.

    . [Matthew 25:35-40]

    For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

    “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

    “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’  —(New International Version)

      I love how evangelicals always take the meaning they want from a text while declaring, per 2Tim 3:16, that it is literal.

      I was literally in Palestine on one of those holy land trips (dad paid, mom dropped out) at a the ruins of a village, and the guide brings up the story of Sodom, and asks them what they think the story is about after hinting heavily. After they give all the usual answers about immorality and the fall of a father, I finally add hospitality. So he talks about the tradition of hospitality in the Middle East and then asks them about how they think that translates to illegal immigrants in the US. And it was just a tirade of protecting ourselves and only letting the good ones in and setting limits on the numbers, etc.

      I just face palmed and walked out.

      tl;dr: The US is a biblical Sodom because of how we treat the strangers.
