  • Jesus didn’t live in a democracy, so he never talked about how people should exercise their right to vote, all he said was love your neighbor and pay your taxes. That’s why I said it’s cringe to invoke his name for the purpose of partisan politics, because anything you say about what he would or would not have approved of is pure speculation.

    Also, I don’t vote (and I never have), so please stop blaming me for whatever issues you have with the current administration. I don’t rely on the government to make ends meet, so I’d rather not carry the burden of feeling responsible for whatever mess they’re deciding to create. If you feel like taking part in that process, that’s your choice, but I’m going to wash my hands clean of that guilt.







  • I’m sorry, but what exactly made you think I’m supporting the Republican party here, just because I hinted at the fact that the Democrats are no angels either? What did it matter that Democrats were in control for the last four years when grocery prices still went up by 100%?

    Where did I advocate for tax cuts for the wealthy, or cutting welfare to the needy? All I said was that as far as I understand it, Jesus didn’t advocate for voting to have the government take care of your neighbor, but to do it yourself instead. Which, as far as I understand it, just means that you can’t vote your way out of your problems, you have to take personal responsibility as much as you can.

    If there is someone in your life that needs more help than the government is providing, and you have the means to help them, you should do so, instead of complaining that the government isn’t doing enough. It doesn’t matter who’s in charge of the White House, what matters is what you do with what you’re given.
