Might want to re-read the Parable of the Talents sometime.
yeah remember when Jesus said "if I were to feed you, it would disincentivize you from finding a job and just enable your laziness. Use your god-given talents to feed yourself you moocher" and then gave all the fish and bread to the rich?
That's literally what the Parable of the Talents is about. Matthew 25:14-30 if you are having trouble finding it.
It's almost like I worded the end exactly like that because I know that's LiTeRaLlY what it says you utter cabbage. I was just parodying your Supply Side Jesus concept further; it's not like that was the central message that Jesus had, except in conservative readings of course
Supply Side Jesus isn't MY concept, in fact, it was Al Franken (yes, the senator) who came up with it.

Now Franken of course is a Jew, so it's easy to see why he might have a bone to pick with Christianity.
No shit? And yes, that was sarcasm – just so you don't take that literally as well.
That's certainly a take.
I mean, I hope I'm not saying anything too controversial here, but I think it's pretty well understood that one of the major theological differences between Christians and Jews is how they feel about Jesus.
