Sounds like Christianity to me. No fucking way. Not in this country. Never
Do you mean the Christianity inside or outside the US? Because to me this does not in anyway sound like US Christianity. Maybe a little bit their preaching, but surely not their actions.
I mean the Christian community that has provided love and support for my family.
~~Where~~ Were these things they did or only things they said they do?
Where what?
Were* they feeding the poor, housing the unhoused etc, or was it all talk?
Both. First they talk about it. Then they do it. What's your beef? Do you have personal reasons to dislike Christianity, or have you just been in the echo chamber too long?
I have no dislike of Christianity in particular, i have a problem with religion as a tool to make a distinction between us and them. I am aware I am doing it too, but I am not an institution. The point of my question, which was genuine, was to understand your comment better. It is meaner than necessary.
You're alright! Forgive me for being defensive. I live in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. There are several active Christian organizations around here. They are actively supporting the community with thought and deed.
I do not attend church, but I do participate in the effort. We pack and deliver boxes of food several times a year with an organization called JRA "Jewish Relief Agency". We beautify public gardens in the spring and fall. We support youth with scouting programs and parades for the local athletics organizations.
It's not all that bad.
Nice, keep up the good work!
I'm gonna assume he's being sarcastic.
But the/s how do you know it's sarcastic without the /s!
Would be great for CA, homeless would leave CA for NY.
While I agree those services would help make a decision, I'd think climate (and where they became homeless, and where they have family) are far bigger factors.
I've only been transitionally homeless though, my experience and assumptions are probably very different than someone who is or has been homeless for a while.
It is all about what the oligarchs want and how they can manipulate the masses to support their agenda. Turns out it is quit easy to get folks to support hating their neighbors, and even hang themselves out to dry.
Remember when Jesus freed the slaves of Jerusalem? What a badass section of the Bible
Oh wait no that never happened. In fact, Jesus never even spoke negatively about slavery.
Bummer.
But sure, I guess other than completely ignoring the concept of owning a person in the same way you own oxen, he really wanted everyone to care about one another.
That's because slavery in that culture was not what we think of when we think of slavery today. There are numerous passages throughout the Old and New Testaments detailing how slaves were to be treated with the utmost respect, which was otherwise unheard of in antiquity. To give just one example:
If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold[a] to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed. You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today. But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’ because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you, then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave[b] forever. And to your female slave[c] you shall do the same. It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for at half the cost of a hired worker he has served you six years. So the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.
– Deuteronomy 15:12-18
[a]: Or sells himself
[b,c]: Or servent. The Hebrew term ébed is used to describe a wide range of socioeconomic roles. (The Greek word doulos in the New Testament is similar, as in Colossians 4:1.)
God wanted them to be treated as family. It was basically a structured mutual aid partnership.
Criticism without research doesn't mean much.
Jesus' dad was pretty adamant He owned everyone.
THAT'S COMMUNISM AND MOSLIM EMPANADA
Conservatives think all three things are bad because they think it will cost them money.
Yet they're okay with war and genocide, even though that costs them money too. It's clearly not about the money. The point is cruelty.
lacks the very important racism
I'm still haunted by the realization that conservatives want hierarchy. They want underclasses. Even when they're not the top! They don't want free health care because then the wrong sort of people will get it!
They're bad people! It's not about "cost" or market efficiency or anything else they say.
People on the left have a belief that society should benefit everyone. No one should suffer from too little when someone has excess. It's a pretty basic tenet of progressive belief.
People on the right vote like they don't believe in society at all. They vote like everyone should fend for themselves and fuck the rest. Then they complain when their government benefits get cut and the prices get too high because it wasn't supposed to be them that got fucked. They weren't supposed to be the "rest."
I don't think they understand that progressive policies are intended to help the most racist piece-of-shit MAGA fuckwits as much as anyone else. They only want to have it better than someone, ANYONE else, so they aren't at the bottom rung.
Although I'd say that the correct thing to do is only help the ones who really deserve it (and MAGA, incels, "High Value Maless" KKK and all that actually don't deserve that, just as PETA [better known as animal killers], femcels, "High Value Womans", and radical far-leftists shouldn't).
This is why when people post anti-right wing messages they don't realize it's not the right angle
Wrong angle: they only want the top class to access health care
Right angle: most Americans cannot afford to see doctors
This is because they read the message and think "hell yeah fuck em [derogatory word]s"
To address far right people. You ALWAYS have to frame it in a way where it's about THEMSELVES.
It's the same thing with anti-left wing messages. You'll see fox News going "antifa wants more of our tax dollars to feed children". It's like ....hell yeah.
20% are predisposed to this kind of thinking and they make up the bulk of fascists.
I don't know of any single person who actually use threads, write the fucking thing yourself and don't give them ads. Stop upvoting this format.
What would Jesus say!
My tax dollars better not be wasted on helping people. /s
How about on helping defense contractors and billionaires?
Jesus only freed slaves because he didn't wanted any competition in the business /s
Unironically this.
Eww. Helping others less fortunate? Wut???
Especially helping the wrong kind of people!
Sorry, bad for shareholder value ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry you dropped this \
¯\(ツ)/¯
Sorry, you dropped these _ _
It's just a flesh wound.
I will not be shortarmedshamed here 🦖
Hey, chechout Thalidomide Rex over there...

Make wise political choices but don't heroicize a politician, this universally leads to disappointment.
