Where I grew up, I saw a guy in the city who had a cane and acted like he couldn’t walk. I then saw him turn a corner further down the street and run up a hill. I was really young, like 7 or 8, when I saw that. To this day I’m very skeptical about beggars. I want to help, but I can’t shake the assumption that they may be faking it.

if i had a surplus of money

2018-10-03 13:45:12 UTC  

i'd probably do it more often

2018-10-03 13:45:17 UTC  

but at the moment i'm struggling myself

2018-10-03 13:45:24 UTC  

i'm not giving you money just because i have a car and you don't

2018-10-03 13:45:51 UTC  

just because i have a job and scrape enough by to have a car, go out to eat once a month does not mean that you are entitled to my money because you can't

2018-10-03 13:46:27 UTC  

And let's be fair, some people are literally unable to work, and that's sad, but a lot of people simply don't want to

2018-10-03 13:46:42 UTC  

Yeah. I understand. I’m a little bit better off, so I can afford it some. I’d rather do other things where I know that the money and my time get used wisely.

2018-10-03 13:47:18 UTC  

i'd like to think if i had bill gates level of money i would finance all sorts of homeless shelters, but then i remember people who just abuse them

2018-10-03 13:47:37 UTC  

i don't want to satisfy your prefferred lifestyle

2018-10-03 13:47:41 UTC  

i want to help you earn it

2018-10-03 13:49:28 UTC  

I personally think that local church’s should step in more with homelessness. They can screen people way more effectively and there is ample space for it. Oh course, the concern is about safety. I think we should open mental asylums again. That would help too.

2018-10-03 13:52:11 UTC  

The thing about Jesus is that the left has no intention on advocating that you follow jesus

2018-10-03 13:52:56 UTC  

it's more about the fact that they are distorting his teachings and using them as a club to beat his followers with

2018-10-03 13:53:06 UTC  

Yes. I totally agree.

2018-10-03 13:54:07 UTC  

>oh, you follow jesus, you can't be a christian, though, because you don't support social programs x, y, and z. I'm so much better than you because I think Jesus was a cock, and I follow his teachings better than you do

2018-10-03 13:54:26 UTC  

You could somewhat describe me as an evangelical Christian. I completely understand the deceit that comes from them.

2018-10-03 13:55:13 UTC  

the left really loves that Trump is president because Trump is an adulterer, and the churchy types were so against adultery for so long

2018-10-03 13:55:29 UTC  

I......actually don't know where the left stands on that anymore though

2018-10-03 13:57:31 UTC  

I am not an evangelical Christian...most would describe me as a Gnostic

2018-10-03 13:57:47 UTC  

Yeah, whenever I see someone saying ‘oh you can’t support Trump because he’s an adulterer’, I retort back and say ‘you wanted my Christian conservative values out of politics, you got it, quit complaining’.

2018-10-03 13:57:55 UTC  

not "agnostic", an actual gnostic

2018-10-03 13:58:08 UTC  

Ok.

2018-10-03 13:59:20 UTC  

I've been pouring through scripture as well as documentation not included in the bible and historical records from other factions in the region for almost my entire adult life because I don't believe we're getting the whole story, and I don't trust the human portion of most churches

2018-10-03 14:00:58 UTC  

The human portion of church always needs some level of criticism in order for it to function correctly.

2018-10-03 14:02:32 UTC  

I believe that many in the church have forgotten the role of church in society. That’s mostly in part due to over reliance on the government

2018-10-03 14:03:22 UTC  

back to the christian thing, though

2018-10-03 14:03:58 UTC  

the thing about Jesus, he said to give to the poor. He never said "give to the government, so they can give to the poor"

2018-10-03 14:05:22 UTC  

in fact, there were several cases where he was quite adamant about leaving the government out of it

2018-10-03 14:11:27 UTC  

Jesus established the philosophy of separation of church and state. Mathew 22:21

2018-10-03 14:13:31 UTC  

Personally I think the left fucked themselves by bringing out a rape accusation

2018-10-03 14:14:38 UTC  

And the right have cucked themselves by giving them the stage

2018-10-03 14:20:03 UTC  

Yeah. They may have well done that. Who knows what will happen this November. I live in a gloriously red state, so it shouldn’t be an issue for me.

2018-10-03 14:20:24 UTC  

The people who orchestrated this have not yet fully grasped the speed, power and reach of social media

2018-10-03 14:20:56 UTC  

And how information spreads like wildfire, and bullshit is called out fairly early on

2018-10-03 14:20:58 UTC  

I love the claim 'it's just a job interview, if he doesn't get it then his life isnt ruined

2018-10-03 14:21:40 UTC  

Im sorry, you're accusing him of rape, he is a judge, rape is a fairly high crime, if we say he is guilty then his life is ruined

2018-10-03 14:22:02 UTC  

If he's not guilty then why should he not sit?

2018-10-03 14:22:06 UTC  

They don’t care.

2018-10-03 14:22:16 UTC  

Of course they don't

2018-10-03 14:22:17 UTC  

The problem lies with the lack of actual adversity with the average citizen
