If his insensitive remark is inconsistent with Scripture, which it is, then the question becomes why do talking heads on the right get away with proclaiming what Jesus would or wouldn’t support? Quoting: hideous_persona The answer is simple: Conservatives have not read the Bible. The Right has successfully rebranded the brown-skinned liberal Jew, who gave away free healthcare and was pro-redistributing wealth, into a white-skinned, trickledown, union-busting conservative, for the very fact that an overwhelming number of Americans are astonishingly illiterate when it comes to understanding the Bible. On hot-button social issues, from same-sex marriage to abortion, biblical passages are invoked without any real understanding of the context or true meaning. It’s surprising how little Christians know of what is still the most popular book to ever grace the American continent. More than 95 percent of U.S. households own at least one copy of the Bible. So how much do Americans know of the book that one-third of the country believes to be literally true? Apparently, very little, according to data from the Barna Research group. Surveys show that 60 percent can’t name more than five of the Ten Commandments; 12 percent of adults think Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife; and nearly 50 percent of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple. A Gallup poll shows 50 percent of Americans can’t name the first book of the Bible, while roughly 82 percent believe “God helps those who help themselves” is a biblical verse.

One star... ANYTHING that offends Christians on this site gets negative feedback for the most part Christianity is a controlling mechanism, pure and simple. It is a fear-based agenda unraveling slowly through time. Christians would rather stick their head in the sand to wait for a savior to pop out of the clouds than FIGHT BACK -- this is why Christianity is so popular. TPTB like it that way To make matters worse, the popular conception of "science" (including the Big Bang, dark matter, black holes, et al) is completely tainted and incorrect The Big Bang was theorized by a Catholic priest -- they control both sides of the equation DISCLAIMER: For Entertainment Purposes Only |

Jesus was able to feed multitudes with a few loaves of bread and fish, the Great Society projects have actually put minorities deeper into poverty, drastically higher rates of violent crime, STDs, and out of wedlock teen pregnancy, baby blending abortions etc., All part of the great cycle of poverty. |
