The scripture says to go to your closet and pray in secret. In Judaism people often have a shawl they cover their head with when they pray. This is called a prayer closet. If I'm remembering correctly. The idea being not to try and put on a performance as to appear pious in front of others.

You mean going out onto the public square and shouting an ad hoc prayer into a loudspeaker doesn't count as going into my clause to pray?

Many right-wing Christians vilify the poor, in direct contradiction to the teachings of Jesus. Why the hypocrisy?






In an age where your average Republican politician is thumping the Bible with one hand and trying to strip food from the mouths of the poor with the other, it’s become a sad cliché to point out how little the most outspoken Christians have in common with their charity-preaching, forgiveness-loving messiah. It’s only gotten worse in recent years, with the followers of the man who cured lepers threatening to shut down the government if Obama insists on giving more people access to healthcare.

Because they don't believe in ultimate good as a force of nature. They believe in ultimate good as a force of their belief and those like they, who worship the same God. It's good relatively to themselves and their own group who believe like they do, and excludes the rest.

That is where everyone gets mixed up.

I thought Paul was the most talented all the way around which has nothing to do with what Cliffy was saying

Did you know, he was a marijuanna user?

sorry, wait...turns out he gave it up in 2015 after 4 decades.

did you know, he use to be a marijuanna smoker?

I think that does have something to do with his talents...or access to his talents...but nothing to do with what Cliffy was saying either. lol
