Watch the fundies "head spin".... a simple quote:

Remind them of what our friend Jesus said:

"What you do to the least of them...you do unto me"

1. Yes, but they will say "But they are such BAD people. You don't want
us associating with THEM. You've set us apart and all".

Would Jesus love a liberal? you bet!

6. Remember too, it's also "Whatever you did NOT do for the least of these,
you did not do for me," keep that in store for the MOST stubborn. A fundie acquaintance of mine reacted really negatively when I used the first part of it (which OUGHT to make anyone's head spin--shows how thick her head is). She was all, "Well *I* haven't done anything to oppress those people. *I* didn't make them not leave, etc..."

So I reminded her about the rest of it. Christians don't have to just not actively harm people; they are guilty of an equal sin when they do NOT do all those things to help.

Not that I'm Christian anymore.

10. Reminds me of what Martin Luther King said....

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

11. Yeah, that's called a "Sin of Omission."
When you FAIL TO ACT when you should, it, too, is a sin.

12. Point out that Jesus hung out
with the dregs of his society. That shuts 'em up pretty quick.

2. What fun is that? There is no MINE MINE MINE in that statement?
That is what the fundies want. MINE MINE MINE.

3. Jesus also warned: Whenever you DIDN'T do it,
you refused to help ME.

Jesus has ALWAYS aligned himself with the poor. Shame on those who don't see that, and woe to those who know it, but ignore it.

13. Have you noticed that the Fundies....
...only use the Old Testement to reference their ideas. Nothing in the New Testement (the words of Jesus) supports their political agenda.

15. From Matthew 25 ...
I posted earlier today. Here is the whole thing:

25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

"Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire." Jesus tells us what he has planned for those that he dislikes. They will be cast into an "everlasting fire."

25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
