Now some Christians like quoting from the bible to justify their actions and certain aspects of their religion.
I quote Mathew 19. 21 and Luke 18. 18
very few Christians I have heard of are prepared to sell off all their posessions and give to the poor...but they seem to cherry pick other parts of the bible to justify those parts of the Bible they want others to accept.
I am wondering when the great bring and buy sale is going to be and when more true socialists join the ranks......Obama must be worth a few bob and the Republicans billions.....cause after all most of them are Christians.


So Jim
Are you saying you and your Atheist friends have sold everything and given it to the poor?
It just seems funny the only hypocrites you know of are religious.
I guess it is kind of refreshing to know Atheists don't need religion to justify their actions.

Not sure why you bring politics into it but if you really want to know some of the big earners are also left wingers with very Socialist ideals. Harry Reid comes to mind. He has doubled his wealth since 2004. Funny how that works isn't it. $3.2 million to $7 million in 2010 while the rest of the working stiffs are going broke.
Pelosi? $40 million in 2004 about $110 million in 2010. Whether they are Christians or not I don't know.
Obama? He got his writing a couple books. Of course I think that was also after he got "Elected" to Office. He was worth about $300 K in 2004. He was worth about $7 Million in 2010.
Politics does seem to pay well. Even for left wing socialist types. I don't think their religion had anything to do with it.

But it looks like we have hijacked this thread now. Heading off into politics.
Sorry about that John.
