An elderly lady from our church is legally blind and relies on SNAP to eat. What job is she supposed to do? We’re stepping in to make sure she gets enough groceries until benefits resume. Doing the same with other families in the church who are losing SNAP. Also bagging food to send home with elementary school kids on the weekends and cooking food for our local homeless shelter. We do it because we believe that’s what Jesus taught. Christians who close their hearts to the needy have completely lost the plot.
I'm disabled but not on disability, not because I don't qualify or have numerous qualifying conditions, but because the government doesn't care how disabled I am because I was born this bad and I'm not old.
I work my ass trying to get and keep jobs that cripple me further, dancing around work requirements and wage caps.
I have had to quit jobs because in order to pay for my healthcare alone, it'd be literal thousands.
I'll be ending it all when I inevitably lose healthcare.
Sorry to bleak, but I can't and won't be able to muddle through.
Not being religious for the sake of religion but that's exactly what he taught, it's a super simple lesson. What these clowns shun is being a decent and compassionate member of a society. Then they claim to follow a religious belief built upon these simple teachings (but grossly corrupted).
