Yet Jesus said it would be easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than get into heaven. Jesus must have more affinity for the impoverished than the rich . Who had him crucified.
The impoverished? The so called poor in this Nation regularly eat meat. With all the money we spend on the poor any child hungry here is most times paying for a drug or alcohol inhibited parent. Christ wanted us to help the poor, but I doubt very seriously if his intention was to promote sloth and thievery. The Lord helps those that help themselves apply to far to many people in this Nation. So much so we are preparing to make citizens of 11 or 12 million illegal Democrats. Someone has got to want to work...

"Jesus said it would be easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than get into heaven."
Actually, it was that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.

To be fair to McLovin (the one in italics), that misquote hardly changes the meaning of the verse.
The Lord helps those that help themselves apply to far to many people in this Nation.
I wonder if Tripflair realizes while that quote appears nowhere in the bible, a similar quote does appear in the Quaran.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_helps_those_who_help_themselves
The phrase "God helps those who help themselves" is a popular motto that emphasizes the importance of self-initiative.
The phrase originated in ancient Greece and may originally have been proverbial. It is illustrated by two of Aesop's Fables and a similar sentiment is found in ancient Greek drama. Although it has been commonly attributed to Benjamin Franklin, the modern English wording appears earlier in Algernon Sidney's work.
The phrase is often mistaken as scriptural, but it appears nowhere in the Bible. Some Christians have criticized the expression as being contrary to the Bible's message of God's grace. A variant of the phrase, however, can be found in the Quran (13:11).
It never crosses these bozos minds that tons of poor people have jobs and that there are many who can't find a job no matter how hard they try.
Many of these dorks ARE the poor they criticize! These people are insane!
"The Lord helps those that help themselves apply to far to many people in this Nation."
Let me guess... You voted for this guy, amirite?

Oh, and that little verse below his quote, unlike "The Lord helps those that help themselves." is actually in the Bible.
Very well, Tripflair. So how much did YOU give to charity specialized in helping, say, starving African babies (TM)? (Because of course the fact that some people even in America are, say, gravely ill and in need of money for treatment is not enough a reason to help them.)
Eating meat? You mean dubious baloney frim Walmart costing 2 dollars. Fancy fucking living right? Don't worry that that is what they always have for lunch, and for dinner they MIGHT get chopped up hot dogs in their ramen noodles, right.
I could hurt this fucker.
> The so called poor in this Nation regularly eat meat.
Yes, goodness forbid that the poor should do anything but wallow in their misery and rags and hunger. If they actually have any semblance of living standards at all, they're not truly poor, right?
> Christ wanted us to help the poor, but I doubt very seriously if his intention was to promote sloth and thievery.
I'm in Finland. I can only collect unemployment benefits because I'm registered as a job seeker, and of course I keep looking.
If your proposed fucking omnipotent capitalist system is so fucking amazing that you don't need to pay unemployment benefits to anyone because everyone who actually genuinely wants a job is guaranteed to get one, then quit complaining and give me a fucking job. I'd be more than happy to accept it.
Otherwise, shut the hell up.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
