1. There's a lot of sympathy for millionaires
here in the South. I think there's something in the Bible about rich men travelling through the eyes of needles and poor men waking up thirsty in Hell. Jesus loves the rich or they wouldn't be rich, now would they?

2. The Bible says exactly the opposite of that.
Rich Lazarus died and was in hell, thirsting, and Jesus said it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven.

Unless you were using :sarcasm:

4. It was
:sarcasm: . Most DUers seem to know a lot about the Bible, even if they don't believe in it, so I thought it would be cute to twist one of the parables of Jesus. You ought to hear some of the fairy tales I tell to my niece and nephew.

5. No it doesn't...you're not reading the "robust" Bible...you know, the
one that has what the "robust" Jesus SHOULD have said.

11. Supply-Side Jesus died for the sins of the ruling classes.
He never had enough fish and bread to feed the masses. He dined with whores and tax collectors. They wanted their money up front. A father asked two of his sons to do something for him. One son refused but later did what he was asked to do. The other son said he would do as he was told, but failed to do so. Who did the will of his father? Why the second one of course. Your intentions count more than your actions. So whenever you're feeling low, always remember that Supply-Side Jesus has the best intentions for all, but he always does his best work for a few.

3. Stupid cow is running as a full bore Republican
No wonder she doesn't stand a chance. This is pure desperation on her part, and part of the reason it's doubly tragic she was rigged into the candidacy over Bill Halter.

She won't learn a damned thing from it, either.
