Texas redistributes money from poor to rich

Unbelievable... Maybe Jesus was a "founding father"?

Actually that is what the Jesuits taught me too about the fishes and loaves. And the Jesuits are not known for being conservative at all about social issues.
Jesus was able to convince the crowd to share their food with those who had none.

Really? Where is that? Source? (And the source is obviously not "The Bible" because it doesn't say that.)

I was taught about the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus too... Who knew?

Why would you care if it was actually written in the Bible since you don't consider that a reliable source?

It's not there... So whether I consider it a reliable source or not is irrelevant. And since I don't consider someone else's interpretation of it to be a "reliable source", I'm still waiting on a reliable source for what you suggest.

The only reliable source for Looney Jerk is "Dreams of My Father" written by Bill but billed as written by Obimbo.

How do we interpret this:

UNKNOWN QUESTIONER: Time magazine columnist Joe Klein wrote that President Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” quote “may be the best written memoir ever produced by an American politician.”

BILL AYERS: I agree with that.

QUESTIONER: What is your opinion of Barack Obama’s style as a writer?

AYERS: I think the first book is very good. The second one was more of a political hack book, but the first book’s quite good.

QUESTIONER: Right, and also, you mentioned about the Pentagon and…

AYERS: Did you know I wrote it?

QUESTIONER: What’s that?

AYERS: I wrote “Dreams From My Father.”

CROWD: We know that.

QUESTIONER: You wrote that?

AYERS: Yeah, and if you could help me prove it, I’ll split the royalties with you.

Then you obviously didn't listen to what you offered up earlier because it is a bigger load of Bovine Scat. Do you have an authenticated source that disproves the teaching I mentioned my friend? The Bible does not say how the miracle was performed, only that it was. What I provided is contained in the teachings of most of the Christian faiths to one degree or another. Within my faith, the Catholic faith, it is generally used with children to reduce their reluctance to share with others out of fear that they will have nothing left for themselves. Later on the connection between the multiplication of the loaves and fish is established as a prefiguring for the multiplication of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ that occurs every day in the Eucharist during the celebration of Mass. It is the only miracle prior to Resurrection that appears in all 4 of the synoptic Gospels, which makes it particularly noteworthy. In John (Chapter 6 if you are interested) it comes right before Christ walks on the waters and teaches that He is the Bread of Life - the bread that comes down from heaven so that you may eat of it and not die - that he who eats His Body and drinks His Blood will have everlasting life and be raised up on the last day. In other Gospels (Luke Chapter 9 IIRC) mention is made of Jesus breaking the bread and giving it to his Apostles, who then broke it and distributed it amongst those that had gathered. Context, my friend, is everything. You cannot hope to remove the Scripture from its context and preserve the lesson it is attempting to teach as you and Dog have attempted to do here.

While true that Jesus fed the multitude at no cost, neither did he compel contributions using the force of Caesar from others to feed them as you are insisting we do for the purposes of collective salvation. Neither did he insist Caesar collect money from others to purchase the healing of others that He gave. "What does it say about our society" is an oft heard expression from the collective redemption proponents. I've got some news for you LJ, redemption is individual, not collective. Salvation is individual, not collective. There is nothing we can do as a society to redeem ourselves for what was done earlier by others. You can't assure the salvation of the nation using the force of government to accomplish the deed. People must decide for themselves to share the hundreds of thousands of dollars they don't need with others - instead of expecting that the assets needed for those purposes will be collected using the force of Caesar and distributed by Caesar for that purpose.

You are right in that the government doesn't collect the taxes for an altruistic purpose such as feeding the hungry and tending to the sick. The true intent is much more sinister than that. It is to gain power and control over you and encourage you to forsake the rights you were endowed with in exchange for more perceived security to access what you think you need to survive. It is the sweet siren song of socialism. I will take care of you from cradle to grave. All of that will be given to you in exchange is your freedom. Trust me, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.

Watching you twist in the wind to rationalize your b.s. is more entertainment than I could pay for. You keep moving the goalposts, Sparky... One day you're bound to get something right.

You just make up this crap as you go...(with the appropriate sprinkling of the buzzwords from your wacko websites...) "What I provided is contained in the teachings of most of the Christian faiths to one degree or another." No, it isn't... But you keep throwing out your Revisionist History/Fantasy World stuff, and I'll go make some :pop
