Bible quote for hypocritical teabagging bible thumpers

[erodriguez]

When these teabagging bible-thumping hypocrites start saying that the unemployed don't have jobs because they are lazy. That the poor are poor because of their bad choices in life. That they don't want their taxes going to government programs...use this quote:



"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me.'"

Matthew 25:41-45

1. Luke 14:7-14

7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them,
8 "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him;
9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.
11 For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
12 He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid.
13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

3. My bumper sticker: Luke 10:27.

It is just a part of the parable of the Good Samaritan.

My favourite Bible verse as of late, and one that rings true. Plus Luke 10:27 is defined as the "Two Commandments" of Christianity.

4. I prefer Vonnegut: ""There's only one rule I know of — God damn it, you've got to be kind."
