https://buttondown.com/theswordandthesandwich/archive/disability-eugenics-and-the-value-of-human-life/"If your health is your responsibility, ill health is your fault. If disability is a burden on society, then each person who suffers ill health is a net detriment to society at large. That is the message of this administration, and it is a perspective both devoid of worth and capable of doing tremendous harm."

(66,457 posts)If you're fortunate and wealthy, it's because you deserve it. God shows his favor by rewarding you. You don't have to feel guilty about taking more than your fair share, because people get what they deserve. God ensures that.
If you see unfortunate, poor people, you can be confident that they brought it on themselves.
This is the opposite of Jesus's actual message, as told in the New Testament.
I have a feeling that every millennia or so humans have to come down hard on selfishness and greed because those human traits destroy our societies.
Looks like we're due for a harsh reminder.

(66,457 posts)"They're really Jews?"
Every Jewish person I know lives closer to Christ's teaching than most evangelicals.
im just saying they ignore all jesus teachings. they love the old testament fire and brimstone. its like theyve never even read the new testament.
pity they just dont go to the torah. theyd learn a lot, and soften their hard edges. and like i said- a good rabbi cd explain it to them.
i live in a very jewish part of chgo. i have tremendous respect for the jewish faith.
The Trumpsters don't pay a lot of attention to the Old Testament, either. If they did, they'd notice warnings about worshipping Mammon and idols.
since we r deporting all the immigrants, i think we shd hire the evangelicals, cuz they sure can cherry pick.
theyd just make shit up and pretend its in the bible.
