This is a public service announcement:
Have you been hearing about "Social Justice Jesus" in between bong hits at your Emergent cohort drum-circle then please review the beautiful satire at http://www.letterofmarque.us/social-justice-jesus/
where a Christian pokes fun an the False god of the Progressive, Seeker-sensitive, Purpose-driven, Liberal theology of the Emergent un-church.
Then repent and believe the Good News!
Social 'justice' is not justice -- it is injustice. Robbing from the working class to feed the crack-heads. Charity is all fine and good. If you love the poor so much, give them YOUR money. Don't steal mine to give to them. I don't subscribe to the asinine economics of the Catholic gospel-writer who put into Jesus' mouth the idiotic command to "give to everyone who asks" and "lend and don't ask for them to return." That's insane. You'd go broke. Rather, I follow the economics of Jesus Ben-Sira (apocryphal book of Sirach/Ecclesiasticus) when he says (chapter 12 I think, but go look it up) "When you would do benevolence, know first to whom you are going to give. Help the righteous but do not help the sinner. Hold back your bread from he sinner lest he overmaster you thereby, and lest you receive double the evil for the good you do him for the Lord hateth the sinner and reserveth him for destruction."
ReplyDeleteIf the 'poor' would stop wasting their money on crack, on cigarrettes, on booze, on hookers. If the 'poor' would stop having babies out of wedlock. Well, maybe, just maybe, they would be able to get out of poverty. The only generosity that the fake 'poor' need is a kick in the pants and to be told to stop sucking the magic teat of faith-alone and start living right morally, because that's the path out of poverty.
