Well sure, 2 or 3 or 47 Boise grannies fell down a few flights of stairs.

They were warned to wear their orthopedic sneakers instead of the stripper high heels they insisted on bouncing around in.

Same advice that was given Brotzman.

Once, when I was something like 6-7, I was coming back from visiting my great grandma up in WA. There were no jet bridges back then - you deplaned by walking down a flight of stairs that were wheeled up to the main cabin door. Immediately in front of me was someone's grandma, carrying an open crate of apples. It couldn't have been that big, because she was slight and old. 

Being a stupid kid, I was just staring at my feet as I shuffled my way to the exit. Due to her age and carry-on, everybody had cleared the stairway below her as she began descending the stairs. And that's when my stupid shuffling kid's feet accidentally connected with her heel. I might have flat-topped her - I don't remember. What I do remember is what happened next - someone's grandma went tumbling down that whole flight of stairs, box of apples and all - and ended up sprawled out on the tarmac. The stewardess (they weren't FAs yet) held me up at the top of the stairs, where I watched as paramedics attended to her and put her on a gurney. My parents were inside the terminal at the gate, watching the whole time. I still wonder to this day if I killed grandma. 😐

I don't know. I wouldn't say Jesus was a leftist. He didn't say "give your money to the Romans and they'll set up programs for the poor." He didn't advocate for equality, really, among the social classes. He just thought being poor was better than being rich.

Moreover, I'm not convinced he was liberal. He was revolutionary in his teachings of kindness and forgiveness, but he was also a conservative when it came to his understanding of the Torah.

Saying things like it's adultery to marry a divorced woman is pretty conservative.

I agree that Trump is an anti-Christ. Maybe not THE Anti-Christ, but he's not representative of what I believe about Christianity.

How longs has it been since you read the bible? He practiced "liberal", maybe even, "socialist" actions throughout the whole book! Like, teaching fisherman to cast their nets farther out to sea to catch sufficient fish to feed the village is one I can think of, off the top of my head. He literally went around teaching anyone who accepted his lessons for free

Examples of Jesus' DEI actions are all over the bible.

So Jesus advocated giving charity.  (catch extra fish to feed a village, giving lessons for free, etc),

Question is this:   did he advocate institutionalizing charity / welfare in the structures of local and federal government, or did he advocate that people should institutionalize charity practices in their personal lives?

He seemed to disregard the government completely, and did not offer any clear prescription on the preferred form or structure of government.

I think they might be thinking of Supply Side Jesus.

So do you think we, as a people, should choose a government reflective of our values, or antithetical to them?

Yeah, I think people should form whatever form of government they want --- I like our system.

I was just commenting on the Bible -- specifically that Jesus did not offer any clear prescription on the preferred form or structure of government.  He advocated for charity in personal lives, though.   

So, hard to really conclude that Jesus was a political "liberal" or advocated for "DEI".   He seemed silent on politics.

This is not the gotcha you think it is, Stunner. 


Religion and government, when combined  is a theocracy. Nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus' masterplan was to have a theocracy.
Thus, Jesus gives no blueprints for what a government should do. Since he wasn't looking to form a theocracy. He advocated for people to take care of one another.

The discussion here is about "Christian" Trumpers. Trumpers support Trumps while holding a bible tightly. By doing so, they are admitting to not being Christian (hence why I put it in quotes in the prior statement.), he is the farthest thing from a Christian; and they are admitting to not understanding that our nation is secular- no combining the church and state!

Don't forget, Stunner, by Trump's Cristo-Natio fan base's standards, Jesus is an illegal alien.

Jesus is a DEI hire.  Jesus should have been a white man.

I asked Mugtangs if I can be the new stunner - the #2 Stunner, his/ her protege

So I can be the new one.

 

But Mugtangs rejected it after looking at my account and doesn't believe I'm the guy.   I think it would be awesome

 

You convinced me.   Jesus for sure was advocated DEI and Democrats are Christians.   Republicans are not Christians as they don't follow Jesus.

Terrible statement. Worse conclusion. No party is more Christian than the other. The Cristo-natio sect of the republican party, however, is the least Christian.

Seemed like he was down with DEI:

Quote

"But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed." - Luke 14:13-14

And from Mark 10:21-22:

Quote

"Go, sell what you own, and give money to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven." - Mark 10:21-22

Let's see... diversity? Check. Equity? Check. Inclusion? Check.

I'm not well read on the Bible - never read it all to be honest.

I'll defer to your statement

if Jesus taught DEI -- i' belive you

Democrats should start running ads next election, saying that they are implementing DEI because that's what Jesus taught

It will probably go over very well with the Democrats base, and that will likely sway some Republicans to support it

Don't forget the Parable of the Talents

Matthew 25:14–30.

 

Jesus scolded the guy for giving different amounts, and demanded that there be equity.
