Though I see your point, I'd rather have less Jesus in our government, not more.
The government should not block him from exercising his religion though. Housing the people experiencing homelessness is exactly what Jesus would do.
Fully agree.
The people that want Jesus in government behave nothing like what Jesus would if he were ACTUALLY in government
Having less Jesus is what causing this isn't it?
No, people being assholes is what caused this. Mega corporations are what caused this. Jesus is a fairy tale no different than Snow White. People are what can make the world better or worse, not some mythical being or spell.
By Jesus i meant his basic teachings like feed the poor
Eh, I mean, there is a real historical figure that the bible character is based on. The miracles obviously didn't happen, but there's reasonable debate to be had about how much of the other stuff regarding his teachings is accurate to the real person.
Lol no
