No it's not! There was a census called and all Jews had to return to the place of their birth to register, which is what Mary and Joseph were doing when Jesus was born and why there was no room at the inn - 'cos everyone and his family was in transit at that time. Refugees they definitely were not (well, not until later after the birth that is, which is a whole different kettle of fish to your statement).

So they werent a displaced family??? I think we may have to agree to differ

War is terrible.

There are many millions of people whose lives have been ruined, and kids that need our help. We should do something, but I'm not sure what action is appropriate. Some of the actions of our governments have definitley made things worse.

I agree we should show compassion to people. Of course we should.


Now, in an unrelated development, Lily Allen has a career to promote and needs to be in the public eye.

To mention the bloodbath in the Middle East in the context of Lily Allen's cheap, schmaltzy self publicising is a classic case of a non sequitur. There is no logical connection between the first set of circumstances and the argument for the second event.

She won't remember them until her accountant asks her about the unexpected item in expenses when he's doing her tax return.

The left or right do not have a monopoly on common sense. Refer Corbyn/Trump for the latest in a very long list of examples.

 


Vive le Roy!

That wasn't my point.

My point is that there are a heck of a lot of people who like to tell you how much they care about the 'refugees', put you down for questioning the situation but actually do flip all to assist the 'refugees' in any manner whatsoever. It's called virtue signalling.

Becky's absolutely right. They were where they were for a very specific reason and they returned to Nazareth afterwards.

Hmmm....so are you saying that Jesus family didnt escape to Egypt to avoid the slaughter of under 2 year-old boys....reckon i might have to disagree with you as well. The term refugee wasnt used back then and the channel tunnel hadnt been built but they were most definitely a displaced family when he was born and in the years immediately after...call me the grinch that just stole your idealised view of christmas but the season of goodwill to all men is based on this gospel truth.....jesus was effectively a middle eastern refugee

It was you who made the Christmas connection, old chap. And in that context, she's right. She also mentioned the flight to Egypt which, again, correctly, is another matter and another event.

The flight to Egypt was after the birth and on the advice of the Magi so I'm correcting my earlier comment that they returned to Nazareth straight away. Doesn't alter the fact that the trip to Bethlehem was not the act of refugees, though.
