Charity that addresses only the physical needs without addressing the spirirual needs of the community is the reason we have a broken black communtity and are, as a society, failing the poor in this country. I think the lack of spirituality is a huge problem with our large corpirations, politicians and 1%ers.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
i think Jesus was pretty clear about taxes and intrusive government
he was also pretty clear about fleecing people in the name of religion, if i remember my mythology right
spirituality is not the government's job.
i think Gandhi summed it up pretty well:
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
started watching it....it was good especially on Palm Sunday. Then the boy wanted to watch Walking Dead...I did tape it so I'll pick it up.
As far as the libs believing or not...I wouldn't plan on any non Christian believing any of it.
My two cents..about the whole dem/pub that Serenity said..
1. Did ya see who YOUR DEM leader golfed with the other day? Might check that out..sure wasn't some homeless person or even a middle class person...or even someone in the 99% group..but go ahead and believe he's for the non-rich. I'm sure if a pub president did that y'all would be all over that. Please don't compare to anything the president did 6 and half YEARS ago.
2. You have an obligation to provide for YOUR family first. Probably EVERYONE on this board goes above and beyond. So unless you are living the bare minimum, food, shelter, clothing, etc..without ANY extras..or more than needed (see shelter, food, clothing) don't say a thing.
I haven't looked but Serenity, you ever answer my question about using the word "white" to describe folks? just asking

How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
i'm sure you missed the subtlety of his point about "the blacks" just like you did with the "government employees" bit before
I bet Jesus wouldn't have voted even if Obama forced him to.
You can smooch my 3/4 white arse. No tongue please. I don't want to make sally kerns list.
Don't say inappropriate things and I won't comment on it.
I voted for w. I never begrudged him his vacations. I read that Obama would have to take off for the rest of his presidency to match bush's time off.
I know plenty of Christians who are democratic. The Jesus would be a republican line is classic.
He'd be from the Green Party.
Fan: "But at least from the media and political side of the liberal spectrum you cannot deny that there is more than a small amount hostility shown toward the Christian faith."
Lots of moving parts, among liberals and among the different parts (i.e., groups) of "the" Christian faith. But it's true that some liberals don't like some groups of Christians. Those same liberals tend to agree with what Jesus said (how to treat the poor and the stranger/foreigner).
Ukraine: Not Our Fight.
More epicycles!
The greatest commandment. ....and your neighbor as yourself.
Pretty sure when I go to Mexico I will obey their laws and leave when I'm supposed to...
Not uncomfartable one bit. (misspelling intended).
This thread is silly, period.
My guess is that if Jesus was anything he'd be Independent.
When I think of Jesus throwing out the Jewish moneychangers in the Temple I think of Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers. Oh, and Romney and his 47% remark. That one's very Christian.

BOY HOWDY !!!!
Do you think of Jesus leading the way for abortion rights, trannies and the whole sexual orientation thing or is that where he goes independent?
I sure don't see him leading the charge to nuke Iran.
I haven't a clue about Jesus's stand on when life begins.
I have no evidence Jesus wasn't gay.

Do you see him bombing Libya?
So you don't know if Jesus was gay or if he supported gay marriage and you don't know where Jesus stood on abortion but you know he supported Obamacare...
And I thought I was going to miss 8th...
I certainly don't see Jesus bombing Libya...remember he said that if your enemy smacks your cheek, show him the other one. This a great idea in theory, but certainly doesn't work in this day and age...people will just get taken advantage of.
It is safe to assume that Jesus would have frowned upon gay marriage...just as he told the woman about to be stoned to death..."Go and sin no more." Jesus' teachings were from the Bible and the Bible clearly states that marriage is between one man and one woman...so I would think he would counsel the subjects and tell them to seek guidance from the Father. BUT, that is pure speculation.
It is certainly silly to try and comprehend who Jesus would react to all of the issues in todays world. I, for one, would only lean towards what the Bible says because of Jesus' many references to "the Torah". As far as political parties...not so much...I have no inclination as to which side of the aisle Jesus would fall on, but since he taught of loving one another...it is a fair assumption that he strive to bipartisan.
