@toneo2001 ---

And during those 10 years I've only seen Jesus people in the U.S Congress keeping the homeless in that ghetto by making them dependent on Jesus people on the streets.

What a ponzi scheme.

@toneo2001 You are a mindless drone who can't think independently. You don't even address the fact that your religion is false and made up from others that came before it, whose rituals and heroes were borrowed from other myths. Quotes from a false doctrine do nothing to win debates. Jesus also said, "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." Study the history of your own religion and how it was invented. It's not altruistic.

[TheSolitaryTraveller]

Jesus is a socialist, so Republicans should hate him.

jesus and obama want to help poor.

@SSTTEEAALLTTHH I seem to recall he did some 'bank' regulation of his own.

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@pantheon777

I never heard Jesus talk about deregulating the banking industry or legalizing same sex marriage. Not very liberal.

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@pantheon777

Jesus was an anarchist.

[pantheon777]

Jesus is a liberal political hero!!!

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

Jesus did not exist. There is no physical evidence from his life time supposedly lived. Idea came out 40 years later after his (allegedly) death. Nonsense bullshit from stone age desert nomadic people with goats

[ada2step]

He didn't want people to be lazy and get free hand out either

[DavidMadsen]

If Jesus wanted to give everything to the poor, wouldn't that make Pawlenty and his party the antichrist?

[Pomiferous]

@DavidMadsen Still scratching my head on that one.Guess I am a bit out of touch with the most recent political trendings.
