Years after my R.E. teacher said, “I will never fall lower than into God’s hands,” I finally came up with the retort, “Let’s go on the roof and check.”

I am not even remotely Christian or any other religion, so the following is meant to be nothing more than a thought exercise.

Suppose somebody in the United States took Jesus up on his word and sold all their possessions, gave it all away to the poor, and spent their remaining days helping others.

In the US economic and social environment, how would they even survive?

Reiterate: I am not Christian and I do not support religion of any kind. I'll add that the foundation of this thought is my general disdain for this late stage capitalism in which we exist.
