You and your fellow libtards should get your stories straight. According to stu there was no Jesus ,ergo no words of Jesus.

Jesus was a lefty. The Jesus model is - give your wealth to the poor. Unambiguously give the blank check. That the government is inefficient and wasteful is another issue. Something which probably most people detest and would love to fix. It's simply sheer hypocrisy, aside from just weird, to be saying follow Jesus and then looking to bad government as the excuse not to.
Says the guy who quotes people he claims/believes never existed to begin with? That's not just dumb that's stuid.
you seem to equate charity and charitable works with paying massive taxes to a large govt which is morphing into a fascist state. you also seem to be missing out on the point of bible. I will give you a quick summary. The old testament was about how you would know that God is the one true God... and the new testament is about how you could get to heaven and be with perfection even though you are imperfect. to your point... Jesus said to the rich man (who stated he was following all the commandments) ... if they wilt be perfect sell everything and follow me. And, just like when he taught about rich men and camels going through the eye the needle... the point of the message was explained to the apostles. Here is the message... Putting faith in his own works such as following your following all the commandments is futile... it is impossible to get to heaven (or close to impossible) based on mans works or the sum his deeds because they fall short But, with God grace and all things are possible. Now you do not have believe the message or the messenger... but lets stop with the ridiculous rewrites. Jesus was not a socialist, mans ideas on govt does not lead to salvation.
The Federal government, while not perfect, is the best most practical way to get aid to the needy in a practical universal fashion. Private charity doesn't come near enough and anyone who thinks churches and private charity is enough is dreaming. States are no more efficient and are probably more corrupt than the fed. Government is not inherently good or bad. For citizens. Of course the corporations that want no regulations think otherwise.
Tell that to the people who survived Katrina and Sandy....... Local churches and charities were the only people on the ground with aid for days. Ever hear of a thing called the Red Cross? I live in Oklahoma, we were devastated by Tornadoes this year...... the State and Federal gov's did their jobs in securing the areas, providing low interest funding for folks without insurance, FEMA type aid in that fashion... but nearly all the hands on help, aid, food, clothing ect... came from private and religious charity groups.
