    Nobody who says this has ever given housing to the poor or kept a poor family fed. Also, nice use of equating a conquering empire to your own government, as if those were anything closely equal.

    I’ll do Jesus’ principals with my actions. You can stick to your platitudes.

      Do you honestly think modern superpowers are not “conquering empires?” If so, I worry what you think about “Jesus’ principals [sic].”

    Ew, this is just an evangelical right wing talking point. Also who the fuck cares what “Jesus” said can we stop talking about it literally forever thanks

      No, no; haven’t you heard? if we don’t read the Bible, there’s nothing to stop us from killing and raping everyone we meet. /s

    Why not both? Pursue the social safety nets, but realize no government will do it just right so help out people directly with your time, talent and money.

    And just because a government won’t do it right is no excuse to not try anyway.
