    1. **Leviticus 19:33-34:** “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.”

      **Exodus 23:9:** “Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.

      **Matthew 25:35:** “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.

    2. What a w⚓. He should take the time to look in that bible and find the passages where it commands people to be hospitable to immigrants.

    3. **THiS iS AH CRisTiAN coUNTYry!**

      “*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 … 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?” … 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.”*

      Matthew 25:35-40

    4. One of the reasons that he has been refused bail is that he has claimed on his arrest form that he is of no fixed abode.

    5. Perhaps if he actually READ THE THING, then he wouldn’t be such a dick to his fellow man – Love your neighbor as yourself.

      We used to have our own unique brand of far-night nutters, did they really need to import the performative Christianity from the US?

    7. The faux Christianity these grifters take is always hilarious. I’m not religious, but if their cult like followers actually bothered to open a Bible (assuming they can read) they’d soon discover the people they so admire are the precise opposite of Jesus’ teachings

      Shame he couldn’t have read it first. He might have been able to abide by the Christian principles in it. The Parable of the Good Samaritan, or the love your neighbour, or the verses about treating foreigners in your land right.

      How did he not burst into flame when he clutched that bible?

      In all seriousness, he and his actions are the direct opposite of what Christianity stands for.

    10. Wait so it’s not political but he’s been remanded until March 27 for Criminal Damage and Failing to disclose his phone pin?

      Can Reddit tell me if this is normal in criminal damage cases?

    11. don’t the judges know the bible verse where Jesus cuts a boat up in the sea of Gallehee to stop the people who look a bit different from fleeing war and famine??

      “Don’t help they Neighbour”

      ”

      ok real bible quotes

      Deuteronomy 10:18-19: States that God “loves the foreigner residing among you” and commands people to love them as well.

      Matthew 25:40: Links treatment of the vulnerable and marginalized directly to service to Christ.

      Galatians 3:28: Asserts that in Christ, distinctions of nationality and status are abolished.

      Exodus 22:21: Reiterates the prohibition against oppressing strangers, reminding the Israelites of their own history in Egypt.

    12. performative christianity

      their enemy have a strong and common religious identity so these muppets laughably think they can repel them with the power of christ

      there’s nothing christian about their behaviour

      they don’t care about Jesus, the Bible or church. never have, never will

      and they will never win this battle in an overwhelmingly secular nation

    13. Do the right fall for this performative nonsense? Do Christians agree with his views and behaviour?!

    14. This whole “judeo-christian values” stuff can eat a dick. They’re not religious, they are just hoping to hop on the American playroom by uniting the right wing under a religious collective ideology. Its a smokescreen. They should try acting christ-like, maybe. They ever even read the thing? 

    15. It’s a badge for him not something he believes in.
      He only wants to pay attention to the bits that are convenient to him not parts like love thy neighbor.

    16. I wonder when Danny Thommo last set foot in a church other than for a wedding, christening, funeral except maybe to steal the lead off the roof?

      And maybe, since he has a bible, he can tell us where Jesus said it was ok to commit criminal damage and endanger human life and film himself while doing it before broadcasting it on social media?

      I’m sure the money is rolling into his gofundme account as we speak though…I doubt any religious institution will ever see a penny of it.

      I love all these “anti-liberal” christians following the most liberal version of Christianity. Moron.

    18. Excellent journalism here:

      “The father-of-four, described as a professional roofer, ”

      Ahhh, as opposed to being described as an amateur roofer?

      Personally I think the judge should have said in response to the bible.

      “I believe the most fitting response to your self proclaimed Christianity is best summed up by

      John 11:35.

      I’ll give you a moment to look it up”

      That’s assuming he had a king James bible

      Cant wait for the inevitable “it’s tWo TieR PoliCinG TheY LeT tHe RaF FairlRforD OuT oN BaIl”

    21. Slashing a dinghy with rescue workers in it. Apparently that decision was his “What would Jesus’s do?” Moment.

    22. Ah yes, ‘love thy neighbour’ Danny Tommo, the most goodly Christian man who ever slashed a boat with a knife
