The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid
When Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia was asked about the Senate Republicans’ newly released portion of the proposed spending bill that requires parents of children older than 14 to work for Medicaid, he said, “biblically, we are supposed to work.”
Fuck you. Murder me outright.
Great, then he should have no problem voting to strip himself and his fellow congressmen of their 100% government funded healthcare.
Biblically, he can suck my cock and nosebang my asshole
The face of hard work:
Why aren’t these rich assholes able to buy cloths that fit?
I know it’s a side issue to their evil, but it doesn’t make any sense.
“I’m going to wear an expensive suit, but you’re too poor for me to allow you to take my measurements”
He looks dead and soulless behind that veneer smile.
I’m a Christian, and I have no clue what he is talking about.
Never read the Biblical, TF has it got to do with me?
It doesn’t sound like he has worked a day in wretched life.
Jim Justice Has worked really hard at screwing over everyone who is not a billionaire.
Get that fucker in a field where the farmers can’t retain other workers!
yeah and “biblically” we’re supposed to be feeding, clothing, washing, and housing the homeless as Jesus commanded. We’re supposed to be taking care of the ill, as Jesus commanded. We’re supposed to “love thy neighbour” and treat everyone, regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation, equally as Jesus commanded.
But of course we’re not doing any of that and according to the Bible and Jesus that’s an instant ticket to “Hell”.
If Heaven exists it must be a fairly empty place.
Biblically, we are supposed to be relaxing and taking care of our home.
Work is a divine punishment. I am no Buddhist but this dude didn’t read the Quran properly.
It’s weird how Christian dominionists never mention the Jubilee. You’re supposed to forgive all debts every seven years, and you can’t really own land - God does.
The only parts they read in Leviticus are the ones about killing gays though.
They certainly skipped 18? 19? where it directs people to treat foreigners in your land like the native born.
That verse you posted said 7x7 years, so every 49 years, with one year off after, so a 50 year cycle. Then I guess they “buy” land throughout the next 50 year cycle based on how many years remain. Ie, if it’s 25 years into the cycle, the price for a field might be half off. Not a terrible system really, for the age. At the end of the cycle, it all goes back to the “clan” to be resold again.
What was it again with rich people getting into heaven and the camel/rope and the needle?
A scripture so inconvenient that they had to spend a good chunk of the last 2,000 years contorting an explanation for why the obvious reading must be wrong.
if only these people didn’t pick and choose excerpts from an adult fiction novel in order to justify ruining other peoples’ lives.
That’s pretty much what a medieval feudal lord would say. I think people like this have exactly this understanding of themselves: they claim a vague, God-given right to rule over their subjects – a crude excuse for their crimes and inhumanity.
“Don’t rob the poor just because you can, or exploit the needy in court. For the LORD is their defender. He will ruin anyone who ruins them.”
Proverbs 22:22-23
He needs to start doing some ruining then. He can start by having Venice sink into the sea during the Bezos wedding, wiping out many of the worst Sociopathic Oligarchs of the world.
I’m… Honestly unsure if you’re kidding or not
Depends on the translation ofc but yeah that’s really what it says
The Bible is big on charity, both OT and NT
Conservative evangelicals just choose to ignore that
