39. And throughout my 14 years of Catholic school, I never once saw a New Testament passage

Nov 2013

that quoted Jesus as saying that. Not one. He always talked about feeding the hungry, helping the poor, providing for the needy, abandoning your riches and following Him, and caring for those He described as "the least of My brethren." I think that "if you don't work you don't eat" crap came from some epistle by Paul-the-Hardass. Maybe the teabaggers like St. Paul because, before he was converted, he was a persecutor and tormentor. Teabaggers seem to get off on that shit.
