This is why it makes no sense that Christians are Republicans. They should all be socialists because if you are rich you literally have zero chance of getting into heaven according to Jesus.....but of course they ignore that.


Jesus said to give to the poor, not steal from the rich and then give to the poor. There is no need for coercion, for it almost always derives from a sin. If a person becomes rich and decides to not give to the needy, then he or she must answer to God for that decision. It doesn't honor God to steal from those that are blessed to give to the impoverished. We cannot give what isn't ours. The morality of free market capitalism and Christianity go hand in hand.

If you are calling paying taxes "stealing from the blessed", 1. Do not respond to my post please and 2. You should be a republican campaign manager. "render to Cesar what is Cesars." Basically translates pay your taxes bro. And who is asking you to give what isn't yours? How would you? And please honor my request to not respond at all if it is fitting.
