No argument given
As a Christian who is not a bleeding heart liberal, I want to do the best I can for people, but I have no issues with the Christian doctrine of original sin (which essentially is fundamental separation from God and an inability to live a holy life, not sex as some think). I am quite happy to think that a lot of people are just out for what they can get and think this country is a soft touch on asylum.
But I don't intend this thread to become an argument about religion or asylum - the point I wanted to get at was the motivations of those labelled bleeding-hearts and do-gooders, not their pet topics per se.
