    Yeah and taking care of each other ain’t Caesar’s, so he can get his grubby mitts off it.

      You really think Jesus would be against things like free healthcare, income support, things like that? You think he’d rather people voted for politicians who promise to cut welfare? You count cutting welfare as helping your neighbour and taking care of the poor and needy? Because it looks a lot like making things harder for your neighbour and not giving a shit about the poor and needy from where I’m sitting.

      I mean, vote selfishly if you’re going to, but don’t pretend that Jesus came with a message of “look after number one”, “cut welfare” and “cancel programs that help the poor and needy”. That’s not biblical.

        /s no see you’re not getting it, you cut all that stuff, but you also volunteer for a couple hours on Sunday so that you get to feel good about yourself. Nevermind how we scale that up to cover everyone you silly billy
