The Bible clearly states that people who are better off have a responsibility to the poor, and the consequences for not fulfilling that responsibility are dire.
It's not my problem that you view carrying out what the Bible teaches as "theft, greed, and covetousness".
Thou Shalt NOT Steal. Thou Shalt NOT Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods. Thou Shalt NOT lie.
You remember those Commandments from back when and before you became a Marxist-Commie, right?
If you want to know the fundamental reason America became a great, wealthy, and righteous nation, it's because of its past Protestant work ethic that rewards honest and hard work and creativity...
If you want to know why America has fallen on its ass and can't get up, it's because it has abandoned its past Protestant work ethic in leiu of a lying Socialist ethic that rewards sloth, laziness, and theft - and penalizes the honest, the creative and the hard-working.
She became a babysitter the day she opted into your gig, PaddyBoy. But your Irish up is duly noted - and admired. Was never attacking your wife...only you...

I'm still laughing about one I saw earlier related to Eisenhower.
By all means...share the joke...

Not surprised that a wholly visceral rant bastardizing the words of the first welfare state that the world has ever seen would appeal to you.
Read Leviticus and its social welfare code...
"'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.'"

You are my friend , you laugh, I laugh , you cry, I cry even more , you hurt, I hurt, you jump in a fire I gonna miss you friend!
Lucysmom: "The Bible clearly states that people who are better off have a responsibility to the poor, and the consequences for not fulfilling that responsibility are dire. "
Seperation of Church and State sure is tossed out the window whenever it suits the clowns on the Left's purposes...(chuckle)
Yep...
And in a bit of further irony - or rather hypocrisy - wasn't it Lucy's deity Jefferson who the Left loves to pretend was the father of "Separation of Church and State"?

I personally know illegal Hispanic people with family incomes of more than $100,000 a year and receive free medical care, WIC, TANF, and get back much bigger refunds on their taxes than what what they paid in (under report their income and get EITC and other benefits).
It is said that illegal invaders AND domestic parasites easily receive the benefit equivalent of $40,000 per year or more in confiscated revenue from hard-working American people.
Yep...and even thats way out of context. The Left cites the Founders as if they were all Atheists...when the fact is anyone one of them would hang one if they encountered such, on general principle.
Appreciate it, but I'd have just bet on whatever name struck my fancy. I'm not much of a gambler, but it would have been a great time with old friends.

True dat. On both counts.
Hung from the highest trees. But first tarred and feathered; By Jefferson himself.
Any intellectually honest student of history knows the Founders were by and large Christians whose Bill of Rights and Constitution have their underpinnings steeped in biblical principles.
"'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.'"
A bible scholar and preacher now? My, you're a real Renaissance man, aintcha? How convenient.
The Lord's "social welfare code" (hey, that's good commie-spin, war) assumes the "poor and alien" are NOT breaking into peoples' homes then demanding their beds, their tee-bees, and the contents of their refrigerators for the rest of their lives.
Charity is a virtue; Stealing, lying, and covetousness are sins.
Thou Shalt NOT Steal. Thou Shalt NOT Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods. Thou Shalt NOT lie.
And here you are coveting the advantages that you imagine the poor have.
If you want to know why America has fallen on its ass and can't get up, it's because it has abandoned its past Protestant work ethic in leiu of a lying Socialist ethic that rewards sloth, laziness, and theft - and penalizes the honest, the creative and the hard-working.
Agreed. Hard work (the kind of stuff blue collar workers do) is not respected, and creativity has been put to use thinking up things like credit default swaps.

You're accusing the Founders of having as little regard for the rule of law as you do.
"'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.'"
Hmm - reads more like a command than a suggestion.

[McCain_Rocks]Your quoting a known leftist homosexual like Thoreau says a lot about you. You are obviously a liberal pole smoker and considering your immature behavior on this forum, you are a likely child molester as well.

Goldi I only pinged you so you would be aware of what this vile POS is calling other posters, which exposes both this vile creep, and this site, to legal action over his continued libels.
I don't sue people, but I'd be happy to beat his foul a$$ down. Not that a COWARD such as he would ever dare be face to face with anyone and say such things.
Here you are coveting the advantages that you imagine the poor have.
Huh??
Stealing resources from others, demanding FREE stuff, and coveting others hard-earned wealth are NOT the right of the non-working "the poor," nor should those demands be presumed by the illegal invading or domestic parasites. The reality of this situation is not "imagined" - except by those with a socialist agenda.
It is exactly this lying justification by class warfare pimps and parasitic intruders who frame sloth and theft in the manner you have.
The "poor" are to be addressed by acts of charity - NOT via blackmail, extortion, or a communist dictate. Moreover, what you've also neglected to consider in addressing "the poor" is presuming millions of secular Americans subscribe to your subverted idea of Biblical charity and involuntary confiscation.
("'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.'")
Hmm - reads more like a command than a suggestion.
Two Commie-athiests citing scripture...to buttress their justification for the un-authorized wealth redistribution and confiscation by gubmint.
Which part of my post and characterization of you and war was "made up"?
Have you made sure you have an adequate supply of diabetic meds, insulin and related paraphenalia hid out for Rotara and Tull's revolution? You might need some extra Eskalith too.
