You know that there isn't an amount of wording to answer that question and that's why you posted it. I will state that if I had to pick one, I would pick the one on this video that shows "What America THINKS the distribution is"

 
Most Evangelical Christians dont realize that Jesus did not like the rich and the powerful.Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to get into heaven,He also told a rich man that in order for him to get into heaven he would have to sell everything that he owns and give the money he got from it to the poor and follow him.
He kicked all the money changers out of the temple with great prejudiced.
 
I am not Catholic.... But I like this Pope.

Gays? Who am I to judge?

Greed and the worship of money and power? Against it.

Birth Control? Sees the need for it.

abortion? well.... 3/4 ain't bad.

Francis knows that the key to lessening abortions is to have viable jobs and opportunities that are family sustaining.

actually this is a false statement.....in the very passage you refer to, it states....
Mark 10:21
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

lol....the pope ain't perfect because he won't kill babies......
 
like I said before I dont care what you believe as long as your willing to help me help people your OK in my book.



francis is my friend it seems
 
The problem with the moronic " what is fair" argument is that it also requires someone to be the "decider" of what is fair. Of course the arrogant buffoons on the left think that only they, the most caring people on the planet, are properly equipped to be that "decider.". Hitler believed that; Lenin believed that; Stalin believed that; Mao believed that; Castro believed that as did Hugo Chavez and a host of other dictators.

Seeing a pattern?

Morons.
 
As Post Modern so eloquently pointed out, some of the world's greatest atrocities have been carried out in the name of "fairness."

Asking for a defintion, therefore, is not unreasonable.
 
you are full of blather


helping people is why the fuck you walk the planet.

Man became an intelligent being BECAUSE he needed a bigger brain for language to be able to be the social animal we all are.



You are a human ONLY because man has cared for each other since we became humans
 
You are welcome to evolve into something other than human if you wish to.

Just don't expect to be allowed in human society

With all due respect, he wouldn't agree with your interpretation of what he said.

I wonder what he has to say about mobs demanding other peoples' money be redistributing to them?

Probably that the rich buggers had stolen what they made, so that they were poor and hungry, ready to be shot down by the arse-licking servants of capitalist 'freedom' for not eating grass.

The foot-kissing thing isn't done anymore. In fact Francis is getting flak for foot-kissing prison inmates and Muslim women.

Your responses are colored by your atheism but to a lot of Catholics Francis is a real breath of fresh air.

i didn't know they actually kiss each others feet christie. So it's kind of funny you brought that up as if it were a serious point. the point (which continually alludes you) is he is worshipped everywhere and the fact that he has to TELL people NOT to do that doesn't help your argument. The point is when you are the pope and have people all over your nuts it's very easy to not wear 10,000 dollar italian leather shoes and pretend you are super awesome.
