also remember how jesus helped and fed poor people? well that's commie bullshit, we don't do that here

I think that was in Shitforbrains 24:7 or was it Propaganda 69:420?

Either was totes there, Jesus was big on hating thy neighbor.

Isn't there a story in the Bible where Jesus kicks the merchants out of a church and punches them?

Christianity is the perfect religion for capitalists. They can do all the harm they want while they’re alive and all they have to do is ask for forgiveness to go to heaven.

They can't even just help people in another country. They have to shove Christianity as a big tip jar in their faces

It's very sad. I'm fortunate that it was the opposite for me. Born into a hyper-conservative Catholic family, then when 3 out of 4 of their children wound up LGBTQ, they realized that God might have been telling them something. They're extremely and refreshingly Christ-like, and total allies. They treat my same-sex fiancé as their full-blown in-law.

"Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"

~Mahatma Gandhi

These churches sure do love some supply side Jesus.

Why care about the alien within your gates, especially if they got there illegally? Care only about yourself. God helps those who help themselves. That other weird Jesus who says to love everyone and give everything you have to the poor is an icky, nasty socialist groomer.

Which is funny because that's exactly what the Bible tells them not to do

"He's not hurting the right people"

I've been in and around Christian communities my whole life. There is truth to what you say - someone being Christian increases the likelihood that other Christians would be willing to help them.

But by and large the prevailing attitude is even more disappointing and unchristlike. People are simply selfish and only want to serve themselves, keeping every penny they have earned regardless of those in need around them.

The rich don't get rich by giving it away, and this is well known amongst the rich themselves. Some may even give on a personal level, giving them a visual alibi for using their resources politically to actively oppose legislation and policy that benefits those less fortunate. To me this is even more evil.

No, no, if you help the homeless, they won't help themselves and will instead get a free ride, and that'll just encourage more people to become homeless. That's real conservative logic right there.
