Assad – Hitler – Christian-X

What do Hitler, Assad, and the Christian-right have in common?

Answer: They have no qualms about hurting and killing children to gain power over others, and keep themselves in power.

I will now be calling the Christian-right Christian-X because anyone who would employ political power to take food away from Children, and Medical Help from the elderly, are automatically ex-Christians.

Hitler chose the Jews to make political gains. They were un-armed and powerless like all the children of the world. The Nazis gassed children with glee. Rush Limbaugh is gleeful about taking away food stamps from children – while holding much power!

If you read your Bible, one can say if God is Mankind’s Invention, then He was invented to STOP men like Assad, Hitler, and the Christian-X, either by imbuing them with a conscience, warning them there will be consequences, or, rallying a military force to strike down the disobediant.

President Obama has been put in the position of Being God because the Christian-X has abandoned the moral conscience the God of the Jews, and the leader of the Christian church – Jesus Christ – imparted to Humankind.

When the Christian-X succeeds in rendering millions of children, hungry, will our neighbors open up their borders to refugees? Some leaders who do not want to back of our President in delivering a God-given, or secular punishment to a leader who gasses and murders his own children, have suggested they will take in refugees. Sweden has made such an offer – on a permanent scale!

When will we hear from the churches of the Christian-X who pray our President will fail in all his endeavors – and then call themselves Patriots. I descend from True Patriots, and not once did they use FOOD as a weapon to hurt the children of the enemy. Millions of Christian-x see fellow Americans as The Enemy.

Below is a excellent article written by one of the few Christians who dare speak up, about how political Christian-X devils suggest Jesus and God are speaking directly to them, and thus, they are allowed to interpret the message as they see fit. It is these devils that promote the idea that God and Son are manmade, and thus – are not real! This kind of mindset is what brought Nazi Germany to power – and then to its knees – with the help of an Alliance that most of the world came to believe was – ON THE SIDE OF GOD.

That alliance is no more. There is only one man left standing as most of the world accuses him of playing God.
The Christian-X depicts him as Hitler and the Anti-Christ. This is political propaganda manufactured by Christian-X in order to ensnare individual opinions and votes in the public arena, but, in their churches, they preach mankind has no free will and must be obedient to God – and his chosen speakers. When these false messengers failed to win the hearts and minds of All Americans, then half of my Democracy was declared ‘The Enemy’ and thus deserve to have their children rendered hungry! This is war. This is a War on Children. God will not stand for this. He will send His Nazarites.

President Barack Obama said on Friday that most leaders of the G20 countries agree that Syrian President Bashar Assad is responsible for using poison gas against civilians as the US leader tried to rally support at home and abroad for a military strike.

Obama defied pressure to abandon plans for air strikes against Syria at the summit on Friday which left world leaders divided on the conflict but united behind a call to spur economic growth.

Leaders of the G20, who account for 90 percent of the world economy and two thirds of its population, agreed that the economy was not out of crisis yet but was on the mend.

But Obama and Putin remained far apart on Syria after a 20-minute one-on-one talk on the sidelines of the summit on Friday, following a tense group discussion on the civil war over dinner late on Thursday.

Starving the poor. The biblical Jesus Christ went around helping the poor and the sick and famously fed people with loaves and fishes. His modern-day conservative followers prefer to snatch food from the mouths of the hungry. Tennessee  Republican congressman Stephen Fincher showed what lengths conservative Christians will go to ignore their savior’s obvious teachings regarding charity and poverty, when he deliberately quoted, out of context, a Bible verse that says, “Anyone unwilling to work should not eat,” to defend cuts to SNAP, the federal food assistance program.
Not only was the quote out of context—it’s clear that Jesus was all for feeding the poor and alleviating their suffering—it was also a deeply dishonest characterization of people who use food stamps. For one thing, when you have 8% unemployment, it’s just asinine to suggest the problem is that people don’t want to work. But beyond that, research shows  that over 90% of welfare benefits go to people who currently have a job or are elderly and disabled and can’t work. In other words, even by the measure of the verse Fincher quoted, the people he would deny food to are entitled to it, having met the basic standard of being willing to work.

It is astonishing to me that politicians who are eager to identify themselves as Christians so readily declare the irrelevance of Jesus. Not that they claim he is totally irrelevant. They are perfectly willing to acknowledge his importance in the fenced-in territory of private life. But when it comes to public life, the influence of Jesus is simply not welcome. Yes, he can have an unsubstantial ceremonial role. These politicians gladly appeal to his name while on the campaign trail and at public events they might fondly speak of him. But that’s about it.
Food stamps were a topic on Capitol Hill last week. The House Agriculture Committee approved legislation that would reform farm subsidies and trim the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by roughly $2.5 billion a year, leaving an additional nearly two million people without needed help. A former Jesuit priest, now a congressman, pointed to the parables of Jesus and his teaching in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 25 regarding the importance of caring for the poor.
A congressman who opposes action that would enable more people to have access to food stamps took exception. “I read this chapter of Matthew 25 to speak to me as an individual,” Texan Mike Conaway, a Southern Baptist, said. “I don’t read it to speak to the United States government. And so I would take a little bit of umbrage with you on that. Clearly, you and I are charged that we do those kinds of things but [our government is not] charged with that.”

In fact Jesus never addressed people as “individuals” in contrast to whatever else they might be, perhaps citizens or members of a profession or class or race. Nothing we find in Jesus –or writers of the New Testament- suggests that what Jesus had to say was reserved for some narrow portion of life and without bearing on other significant portions of it. But Rep. Conaway has lots of company in trying to limit the relevance of Jesus. It is crucial for them to do this to free them to throw their support to priorities and values that fly in the face of what Jesus said and did.
While I agree that Jesus didn’t suggest how to run governments, neither did he use the restrictive category that the good Congressman labeled “an individual.” Instead Jesus called people to be disciples. Discipleship is not something we do as “individuals.” It is what we practice with others and for others as we serve God. And discipleship is not something that ceases to apply when we start dealing with the government.
While Jesus didn’t tell governments what to do, he did tell his disciples the sorts of things they should do. And the things he wanted them to do, were to be done everywhere. Certainly a case can be made for the belief that a disciple shouldn’t be involved in the work of government. If one can’t follow Jesus and at the same time do what is necessary to govern then a choice must be made. Obviously, Rep. Conaway doesn’t claim to take that position. Instead he believes that he, a Christian, can be involved in the government but promoting the priorities and practices of Jesus regarding the care of the poor are irrelevant in this area. Apparently, for him Capitol Hill is a discipleship-free zone.
An equally misguided, supposedly Christian companion in Congress, Rep. Doug LaMalfa, stated, “It always looks good when politicians can go say, we brought a bunch of money to this project here or that project there, standing next to this big, giant blown-up check somewhere and saying, ‘look what we did for you.’ That’s all someone else’s money. We should be doing this as individuals, helping the poor.”
Taxes are not simply “someone else’s money.” Rather these are the funds necessary for the operation of a safe and decent country. They are the funds owed by citizens and other residents of a nation to insure crucial services are made available for the common good. And, like it or not, the payment of taxes was supported in scripture (Romans 13:6-7). The concern shown by some politicians about spending “other people’s money” apparently does not extend to paying for weapons systems and wars that many people oppose.
Also by Craig: The Nationalistic Corruption of Worship in America
I don’t hear LaMalfa and other politicians of his ilk expressing any sense of responsibility about “other people’s money” when it comes to spending massive amounts of it for instruments and endeavors of death. Recently Congress has insisted on continuing the flow of money for tanks that the Pentagon has said it doesn’t even need or want. Yet there was no outcry from those in Congress who now want to withhold adequate funding for food stamps. Useless military expenditures are being supported by Christian politicians while real human needs are being treated as concerns that are not appropriate for the government to address. Nothing resembling discipleship can be seen in this posture.
Hunger and food insecurity are not problems that are going to be resolved by “doing this as individuals” any more than the wars and weapons systems will be paid for by private donations. Disciples whose vision and lives are shaped by Jesus have no basis for giving priority to projects and programs of death over those that improve the quality of life for people in need. There is nothing commendable about Christian politicians whose practice and priorities suggest that Jesus is largely irrelevant.
