I am sure we can find a whole bunch of people who did very evil things but still have folks that believe in them that we can create statues of and to hell with anyone that is hurt by the reminders right?
Or is it only things that need changed are things that affect your wallet or your beliefs and only those that agree with you deserve to have a say in what is on the properties that everyone pays / has the names only acceptable to you ?
Communism is ok as long as you agree with the rules, socialism is evil if it benefits anyone but you correct? Curious, did you cash that government check or get any help from the government ( loans, your favorite places, banks, employers get free help etc) during this coronavirus? So, socialism is ok when YOU need it but not ok for others who need it to survive ?
BTW.....Do you call yourself Christian ?
Do you really believe you are Christ-like ? Does any Christian really believe Jesus would choose the options that so many that believe themselves to be Christian, are proud of ? We must read different bibles and know different Jesus’s . My Jesus was all in for equality for all ( Mary was a prostitute no?) and sharing all he had( feed the crowd fish and bread) without expectation of a return ? Did he not die so all of Gods children could be free ?
Sorry for the rant, just so tired of the unjustifiable beliefs people keep spouting , only said to bring separation and hate and using Jesus as a back up.
"Millions" of slaves? Sorry, but 388,000 is closer to reality.
Not going to argue what Jesus would or would not do, because I everyone has their own beliefs. And I won't convince someone of my beliefs that is not a believer by arguing.
What is it about Socialism that some folks seem to think that it is the cure all for everyone, when the fact is that it only helps the lazy or unable. There are programs that handle that aspect of society very well. There is no need to bring down the middle class and the wealthy just to coddle a small group.
One thing is for sure, we have a gov that is way too large and powerful. And we have a growing mass of citizens that are becoming more and more dependent on a gov nanny to take care of them and make decisions for them.
