I'll pray that you all find happiness in your lives because some of you come off as the most miserable people I've ever encountered.
If this crew is some of the most miserable people you ever encounter, you'll have lived a blessed and troublefree life!  Cheesy

I'm just saying... I've met many people in my life who were a lot more miserable than anyone on this board (given that psychopath Tommy is long gone).

So you say you don't believe in casting stones in a thread you started to cast stones? Gotcha 👌👌

You are confusing teaching with casting stones.

Are you a Christian?

Depends on your definition of Christian. If you define Christian as someone who agrees with the teaching of Jesus,  (Love thy neighbor, feed the hungry, don't cast stones, etc.) and believes the world would be a better place if everyone followed the teachings of Jesus then yes.

If you define Christian as some who believes Mary didn't have sex then no. 

He's Jewish and trying to get us Christians/Catholics with Old Testament law that Jesus came to put a stop to.

That is a myth, Jesus never said anything against the actual 5 books of Moses, what he opposed was the interpretation of some the laws and many of the practices of the time. 

Maybe you should actually read up on the teaching of Jesus. 

Of course it would challenge some of your mythology about him.  He talked about treating the stranger in your land with kindness.  He talked about feeding the hungry.  Healing the sick.  Clothing the naked.  Peace and equality.  He was less of a capitalist than Karl Marx.  To say he was "anti-police" would be a great understatement. 

Yet, somehow he has become a poster child for being anti-immigrant, nationalism, opposing the poor, opposing affordable healthcare. social Darwinism and justifying institutional racism.   T

He also gave people free will to choose.   When you treat people with kindness and want to help the poor out of the kindness of your heart, it's charity.  The government forcing you to do it is socialism.

What if the government gave you a "choice," but threatened you with many years of unimaginably hellish torture if you didn't choose to do what they say?
Is that charity, socialism, or something worse than either?

I would put a bullet in the government official that said that to me first, then worry about them later.  The founding fathers of this country put the second amendment in the constitution for a reason... so that if the government ever became tyrannical like you just described, citizens could defend themselves and shut down said government and start a new one.

IMO, anyone who thinks it's ok for the government to do things like that should be shot as well.

Jesus was a socialist.  Saying you will go to hell rather than heaven if you don't help the poor is at least as coercive as taxation.
