  Yeah, that’s like saying vegans wouldn’t eat pork.

        Denying Jesus’ insistence that you should look after the poor, the widows and foreigners is aok by you, though, for some reason. “If you love me, follow my commands.” “When did we see you hungry and not feed you?” “It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”

        You’ve corrupted a message of “no, pay your taxes and your synagogue” and “love your neighbour (meaning anyone who is in need, including foreigners, and put your money where your mouth is)” into “it’s fine to advocate for and vote for tax cuts for the wealthiest and aid cuts for those on greatest need, and incarcerating people for being foreign”.

        There is no get out clause for selfishness and hatred via the ballot box as you’re claiming.

        If I thought for a moment that you meant something other than that you find yourself excuses for supporting the Liar in Chief and the grand old party of selfishness, hatred and racism, I wouldn’t be calling you out on it, but you’re not just lying about Jesus’ message, you’re lying about your political neutrality which is non-existent and attempting to draw others into your duplicity and self deception.
