In reply to the discussion: Paul Ryan: Poor People Need Jesus, Not Food Stamps [View all]Butch McQueen
(43 posts)24. Wait a Second... Isn't This The Same Paul Ryan...
Who is always praising atheist Ayn Rand's message of how moral it is to be selfish? No slam at those who are atheist, I have my share of uncertainty in that regard myself. Still, it seems to me Paul Ryan needs to either get on the Jesus bandwagon... Oh wait a minute it was that pesky Jesus that said:
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
I guess maybe he had better stick to the Ayn Rand side of his nature least he be labeled a fucking hypocrite! I simply can't believe the unmitigated gall of these people - distorting the truth to suit their agenda and talking out both sides of their ass at the same time. Sorry to be so worked up here, but these people are starting to really bug me!

And wasn't Ayn Rand an atheist? He seems to have his deities and his icons all muddled! nt

Unless Jesus is the dude driving the grocery delivery truck, I don't think he's right on that score.

Poverty = reality. Food stamps = a way to mitigate poverty. Jesus = make believe.

The corollary to this anti-Christian dogma is that only the rich are blessed by God.

Paul Ryan is a fake Christian. He worships Ayn Rand who despised Christianity. He is a fraud period!
