Personally I'm up for applauding such people but they need to admit to themselves and to everyone else that they're not oriented by Christianity in that case. Jesus is very clear that he wants the Leviticus rule about treating the "sojourner" as a friend to apply to every person in every place at every time, and that is a completely insane way to live which should be rejected. But if you override Jesus's morality with your own on one thing, you have logically abandoned the entire religion. The religion is predicated on the idea that Jesus is perfect, Jesus is divine, the son of the Creator, and almost by definition none of his ideas could be wrong; at the very least they can't be more wrong than your ideas. If you think you know better than Jesus on any issue (and you definitely do on this one) you have placed your own moral judgment above his, so you can't really think he was divine or magic in any sense. If you did you would assume you're wrong, not him.
