So people in the faith community are providing housing for those moved from Duncan's apartment.

And the official who escorted the members out of the Duncan household without any special gear attributed it to his his faith and didn't want to stigmatize them as he wouldn't himself and his family to be stigmatized.

Carry on...

1. Such horrible people, those of faith, right? (sarcasm)

.

A four bedroom house!!11!! And they won't even say who they ARE!!!



Bless them, I'm glad we have citizens and organizations like this.

Relatives of Duncan were moved to an undisclosed location within the city of limits of Dallas on Friday.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings told reporters the family was moved to a four-bedroom house of which the use was given to them by an anonymous donor in the "faith-based community."

Judge Clay Jenkins and Rawlings told reporters the donor was a friend whom they called for help. The house is in a gated community.

"They've got room to move," Jenkins said of the family, which is under quarantine and can't leave the property.

3. Too bad they need a god to tell them

to do good things under threat of hell.

4. Sad that you think that. The folks I know just do it because it's the right thing to do.

Many don't believe in an afterlife, just Karma, and others just to be kind.

5. A lot of people do a lot of bad stuff without a god to tell them not to.

We are all products of our environment. Nobody's moral compass was created in a vacuum.

6. Why do you assume that they are acting out of fear?

Many Christians actually believe and support the deeper message of Christianity i.e compassion.

Thankfully the Christians are responding as the government of Texas would not.

7. well, that'simplistic. did they say that's why they do good things? No, of course not

YOU put words in their mouths. I find that repulsive.

[seabeyond]

12. or, there are good people will all kinds of beliefs.... i mean, what is the needs, for you to throw

jab?

[YarnAddict]

16. So--why didn't

anyone from the non-faith community step up to do that? Hmmmmmm? Will be awaiting your answer.

2. The faith based community gets crapped on a lot here.

I will join the crapping when they are intolerant, homophobic, reactionary et cetera.

I will also laud them when they do good.

18. It sure does, and it pisses me off. And I'm freaking agnostic.

Religions do a lot of BAD, but there are also an awful lot of good religious people, and they don't generally need gods to tell them to be good.

Too many atheists want all religion banned. They don't support the First Amendment any more than the theocrats do.

8. That's good

I hope it continues to remain an undisclosed location and they can get through their quarantine period without developing symptoms.

10. Thank you for your post, agree very much.

[GeorgeGist]

9. Republican health care ... at your service.

Thank Rick Perry.

11. I, honestly, sincerely applaud these folks for doing this, when no one else would.

But I do worry for the health of this family, as well as that of Mr. Duncan's. Good luck, is all I can say.

[liberal_at_heart]

13. There is quite a lot of faith hate going on lately isn't there.

Oh well. Same day different stuff. I'm feeling really good today. Not going to let the haters bring me down.

[shenmue]

17. Me too

[JaneyVee]

14. Refreshing to see those in the faith community following

The tenets of their faith.

[PAProgressive28]

15. Is this another subtle anti-Maher thread?

If so he acknowledges people of faith do great work.

As do I. Much credit to this man
