QUOTE (spartacus @ Sep 2 2015, 09:14 AM) Do read my sentence again and advise me what word I should have used instead. Grammar and Spelling police already patrol these forums and now we have Syntax and Context Police.
Anyway if 'these people' arrive in numbers around Newbury I rather hope they're housed closer to you than they are to me.... You're making a distinction between "these people" (Syrian refugees) and other people, and I don't recognise the distinction, I just see people.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Sep 2 2015, 11:15 AM) Not in my book matey boy! My Bible tends not to mention Allah much. There is only one God and they are accepted by the Jews, Muslims and Christians. They go under many different names: Yahweh, Allah, Lord, God, etc., but whatever you wish to call It/ Him, they all refer to the same person/ or entity/ or fictional character/ or part of ones imagination. Actually the Bible, or Your Bible mentions God/ Allah all the time. You obviously never read it.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Sep 2 2015, 12:20 PM) For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God! Deuteronomy 10:17. Curious. There's no nation on earth more familiar with the plight of the refugee than the Jews, and Moses wrote Deuteronomy after the Nation of Israel had been wandering in the wilderness for forty years. He goes on to say in the next verse: "He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing." Just saying, He's your god, not mine.
