    If these people actually followed John 13:34 rather than, I dunno, doing the exact opposite, maybe we would hasten Christ? Matthew 25:31, anyone? That’s the one that says getting into heaven is about helping the poor, the sick, the foreign, the prisoner?

    How is it a Christian nation when its behavior is so Anti-Christ? I have a hard time believing any party, never mind the Right, actually enacting policy aligned with Christ’s message. They are so fixated on Christ as a cult of personality rather than listen to his words and living by those messages. They’ll quote Deuteronomy & Leviticus left & right and forget that Jesus said none of that really matters compared to Love One Another (Matthew 7:12).

      Matthew 19:24 is also appropriate

      Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.
