Fake Christians who claim to follow Jesus' example, GOP particularly, need to see a REAL one . . .

THIS Indian man shows what "Christians" preach. He DOES what they pretend to. He cares about who & what they pretend to care about. HE embodies Jesus' teachings. He IS what they pretend to be.

The GOP? Those fake "Christians"? Well...they need a real-life lesson in love and empathy. This man is a real-life "Jesus". He's doing the work. What IS life about? Someone ought to ask the Koch Bros that and see what THEIR answer is.

But if someone is going to claim to follow a certain set of teachings then they should follow them and not just pretend to. And worse, they shouldn't pretend to follow them when their actual deeds and actions are the opposite of the teachings they claim to follow and believe in.

Many people who aren't that religious or religious at all are very kind, generous, empathetic and love to help others - and they never or rarely ever go to church. It doesn't take belief in or adherence any particular religion to be kind and to care about people, especially those who have little to nothing and are struggling for survival.

I just get sick of people who don't walk their pretentious talk. Particularly the right-wingers. They're the worst.

..The Treaty at Tripoli.

When ever I encouter a Bush boot licker or similar supporter, I always remind them that this is NOT a christian nation, and their lack of education is at fault. Study world history, then you can learn about the Treaty At Tripoli.

I've even told someone (who walks street and knocks on doors) that I'm agnostic and they had no clue what it meant.

Failing to educate your mind is a failure to grow as a human being.
