I won Whamageddon lfg

Two thousand years ago, a baby was born in a stable. No bed, no roof, no protection. Soon after, his parents fled, escaping a king who ordered the killing of children. Jesus was a refugee.

Today we retell this story in cozy churches, with a rosy baby in a clean manger, while piles of gifts wait under the tree.

Meanwhile, in 2025, children in Gaza lie under torn tarps, in rubble, on wet mattresses in the mud. No clean water. No doctors. Just the constant fear of the next airstrike.

Mary and Joseph knew poverty, exclusion, and flight from violence. Mothers in Gaza know this too. So do parents in Sudan, Congo, Yemen, Myanmar, Ukraine.

Babies don't have ideologies. They bear no guilt. They have no geopolitical interests.

Back then, only a few wise men knew about the child in the stable. Today, we all see what's happening. We just look away.

I don't normally *love* "but have you thought about the poor and disadvantaged you have little power to help?" style posts, but I do think there's some real power in reminding people that Christ himself was the sort of individual many (worse still, many Christians) sweep under the rug today.

TPUSA should be the name of a 2004 pop punk band, not a fascist apologist group
