I would tell them they are wrong because by sinking the lifeboat, they destroy the most amount of lives.
It is not moral to destroy yourself for others.
It is like how on an airplane when there is a cabin air failure, you take care of your own mask before helping your child and then the rest of your family and friends.
That analogy is how I feel about life, you help yourself so you can help your family and then help your nation. It is moral to put yourself, your family and nation before others.
I have no qualms in saying that I view the Quakers as soft and weak individuals if they want to continue to sink the societal lifeboat to help random people from across the world over their misguided and naive view of social justice.

I would go further and say that they should be actively considered an enemy force for engaging in such actions.
Christianity should not become a religion that preaches self destruction over a misguided sense of fraternity.
Christianity is a religion that preaches fraternity as the goal, blind to any consequences. Always has been. If we're brought to ruin by doing so, c'est la vie.
We are told to follow the example of Christ, but Christ did not offer His children upon the cross, nor His friends. He offered Himself - and before doing so, He ordered His disciples to arm themselves.
You may bear any burden you choose, but you may not load a burden upon another and call yourself Christian.

And that is why you are not a christian.
Men created divisions, not god. God would have those with more give eagerly to those with less.
If being a Christian requires being self destructive then I hope more people walk away from Christianity.
America is on the path to self destruction because of notions of social justice like this.
Christianity should not become a religion that preaches self destruction over a misguided sense of fraternity.
All people are not the same. Different cultures have different values. To not see that and acknowledge that, is suicidal on a societal level.
It is the mentality of the "Friends" why Europe is full of leftists proud of mass importing rapefugees.
I truly have nothing against Christians but I just don't like people of any background who push destructive policies.
I think the "friends" and any people like them should not be voting.

Maybe you should.
Well then.
I will just reiterate this one part of my argument.

It's not me that distributes burdens.
I'm just reminding you that they're there, and that there were people who tried a lot harder in the past to carry them, than people do today.
And this is why I only really look to the Sermons for inspiration because the rest of the book is contradictory.
You're what I call a "litigatious christian", ie, one who uses texts as a set of loopholes to be exploited.
