Reply #29: Sad for many reasons

[DonCoquixote]

It seems that Christianity never has any problem demonizing the poor, nor praising the rich, which is why it has been used to keep people in line in this country for too long. Not that I blame Christ himself, he is the one who said plainly that "it is harder for a camel to get through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." He also said "blessed are the poor."

But as far as principle goes, how you this person ask to be gathered according to principle when the last eight years have seen a dismantling of principle? It is one thing to allow a person to earn money based on what they provide, but the last eight years have seen people turn every aspect of this country into a criminal scheme, including the Iraq War, which, regardless of if you even agree for the reason it started, was run like business venture by companies that could send men to war, but would not provide body armor for them, or care for those wounded.

Note that Christ said "as you care for the LEAST of those, so shall you care for me". Remember how in his example, many cried to the Lord, saying "did we not do great things in your name?" but because they did not care for their fellow, they were told "I do NOT know you." This country has been blatant about the fact it did not care for the weak in this country. People were demonized for being poor, even if what put them there was a Medical Bill, or a transfer of jobs to China. How can you act like a Christian, when it is plain that you are not willing to allow good to be done to the "least of these?" Do not be surprised if you are told "I do not know you" on Judgement Day!
