marv's going to present a real problem once he begins to decline, much less dementia or old timers. he already plays dress up. we may have him delivering packages dressed like a civil war soldier
Support Nikki Haley!

Well, Hank Reardon comes out of retirement for some under the table money. Obvs.
We'll tell Marv the Rebs were spotted north of Bedford and we'll need a full report of their goings on. Should buy us 90 days at a time.
Do you mind if I tag along? I’ll pop my head around at the last second and say…….should have bought Bitcoin f#cker!
Only if they fear God.
Otherwise, the metaphor is a fantasy.
How many socialists honor God?
None?
This may be where the 'good works' fallacy gets it's wings.
In 'Today's World', it's all about the Gibs....
Depends, only if you use Bitcoin for it's intended purpose......moneylaundering.
Your conclusion is nonsense. You’re incredibly bright (much brighter than myself) on a number of topics, but Christianity isn’t one of them. You really should join a small group with a preacher in it.
She said she'd vote for the Orange blowhard if nominated so she's as anti-democratic as the rest of them.
An absolute disqualification, period.
Which conclusion? It’s not nonsense although it might be wrong.
Google Christian socialists or religious origins of socialism. It actually predates Marx.
People go through a lot of mental gymnastics to make the verse you quoted actually mean something else. Also:
But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
The message in the verses was a warning of the dangers of money/worldly possessions. It can keep us away from God and destroy us. It has nothing to do with governments seizing money and redistributing it.
Well when the lights all go out nicely seasoned firewood will be legal tender. I got a good start and enough ****ing trees to feel like the nomads of the Arabian peninsula when they found oil.
Because when price increases it shows more and more people are freely choosing it as money or a store of wealth.
The payroll cap has already been going up at pretty aggressive rates.
5 years ago it was like $130k. Now it's $170k. A stealth tax increase if there ever was one.
First segment on Cuomo tonight: Haley should jump on the Biden thing and argue, pick me, and you get rid of both Trump and Biden.
I haven't looked for a bit, but I think you're looking at roughly a hike in payroll taxes from 6.2% to about 8% will alone close the gap.
I'm strongly opposed to any tax increases that aren't across the board. We've had more than enough of the idea of "other people" can cover it in this country. We have out of control debt as it is due to the endless, bipartisan tax cuts for middle and upper middle class over the last 40 years.
You are right that the verse doesn't mention the government. That's why my post didn't say anything about the government doing it.
But it's hard to read that verse and not think individuals who want to go to the Christian heaven better give their money to the poor (not their kids--see I'm trying to save souls here!) before they die.
Not a lot of eyes of needles big enough to fit a camel, then or now.
You don’t have to give any money away in order to go to heaven.
You’ve offered no counter argument, nothing to support your assertion that he’s wrong. In the real world, you’ve lost the argument.
You haven't said what you believe his verse means. What is your interpretation?
Take it up with God. The way to heaven is through Christ, not good deeds. Also, there are plenty of verses in the Bible that says Christians should be charitable. Brad should have chosen one of those to try to make his point.

did you read jamie fox's comments after his near death experience? he said he saw no light only a tunnel. wow wow wow. can you speak to this?
It’s “The Shot”. If it doesn’t kill you in this life, it will get you in the afterlife.
My belief system teaches that man's relationship with God is an individual experience. One's acceptance of Salvation through Christ cannot be subservient to some iteration of 'means testing'.
In the parable of the camel/needle, the message is that other 'gods'(wealth, power, flesh) cannot be allowed to interfere with one's Salvation.
'Rich' and 'Wealth' are subjective terms, as they were two thousand years ago.
This is what you get after 1600 years of christianization driven by the elites. Before the Germanic tribes started to convert, Christianity was exactly the opposite, a religion of the poor and oppressed. There's a reason Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners.
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that the original understanding of Christianity very likely meant that yes, you did need to give all your money away to find salvation.
