    I’m not religious but I looked up these passages to show how hypocritical they are:

    Matthew 25:35 - “For I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”

    Romans 12:13 - “Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”

    Deuteronomy 10:18-19 - “Treat foreigners and sojourners with empathy and understanding, as they are vulnerable and in need.”

      people don’t get their morality from religious texts, they use religious texts to justify and enforce their morality.
