Despite right wingers’ certainty that Jesus is down with letting poor people starve, the Bible is not so sure about that. Had they actually read one, they would know this. After all, should one not understand that which he is shoving down another’s throat?

Let’s see how God feels about these moochers.

Deut. 15-7

If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks.

Lev. 19:19

Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger.

1 John 3:17

But if someone who is supposed to be a Christian has money enough to live well, and sees a brother in need, and won’t help him–how can God’s love be within him?

Prov. 14:31

Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God who made them. To help the poor is to honor God. Prov. 21:13 He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need.

Luke 3:11

“If you have two coats,” he replied, “give one to the poor. If you have extra food, give it away to those who are hungry.”

2 Cor. 9-9

It is as the Scriptures say: “The godly man gives generously to the poor. His good deeds will be an honor to him forever.”

1. Silly you

Silly you. Don't you know that the TPGOP picks and chooses which parts of the Bible to follow.

2. My Tea Party aunt would say, charity is something we're all called to do, but we can't compell

people to do so. To which I say, are we just told to care for the poor for your good, or for their good? If you really care about your brothers and sisters, then, yes, some compelling is a GOOD THING to make sure they're taken care of.

They say you can't compel people to do good, and yet they want to criminalize abortion and gay marriage because those things are immoral. It's just more hypocrisy from the Chrispies.

[DeSwiss]

3. It's Matthew 25:31-46 that'll get those asses burning in hellfire fer sure:

The Sheep and the Goats

31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

- Now, if you have a RW friend, co-worker or family member (it happens in the best families), I recommend 2 verses per day in the beginning. Too much could cause paralysis and diarrhea and nobody wants that.

After the first week you can taper off as (or, if) their sanity emerges. If not, hit hard with the Jesus rejecting them parts in verses 41 thru 46. Get's 'em every time......
