Sin is the root cause of homelessness, but it isn’t the sin of the homeless, it is the sin of those who withhold housing.
There is no hate like Christian love.
Luke 14:13-14 "But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Not that I believe in this shit, but if he claims to follow scripture, he should follow it.
I’m unfortunately surrounded by these people, and want to strengthen our side, so I’ll give a steel man of their response:
Jesus was talking at a privately hosted banquet about what the hosts should freely do. He wasn’t suggesting that they should be forced by law to do so. I support giving to charity as Jesus taught, just don’t force me to via taxation.
The response to this is, “So, when was the last time you invited the poor to your house for dinner?”
These people believe that so long as they tithe, they absolve themselves from having to personally do it. They’ll say something like, “I give to the church and they do it for me.”
There are Christians that actually are kind and do what they can for their fellow man. But they are greatly outnumbered by the assholes who use religion to justify their shitty behavior.
No, no, these are the “be as evil as possible while alive and then use my so-called belief in Jesus as a loophole out of hell“ Christians.
God in Acts 5: “You lied about how much you sold this acre for, die”
God in the 21st century:
Imagine how much cooler Christian mythology would have been if the Gnostics won and Jesus came to warn us about the demiurge and smite him with lightning bolts
Instead we got someone who would get executed for treason by the Romans without even actually calling them out first
Why is religion permitted in politics?
