The dude thinks that the constitution kicks ass... except when it interferes with his small minded social views. But I was especially irked when he talked about the Syrian refugees. I would love for someone to ask Pence this question...
"According to James 1:27, 'Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.' So wouldn't this scripture imply that you being a "pure Christian" would mean accepting the most vulnerable of Syrian refugees?"
Try the NIV.
Quote:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.B-mine
It's obviously the latter that's being focused on.
