A prophetic home run.
“Because if this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus is just as selfish as we are or we’ve got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.”
“It’s time to take baby Jesus out of the manger. Replace him with something easier to swallow. How about a honey baked ham?”
… on a related note, – World, meet the Tea Party Jesus!
