re: #68 Shiplord Kirel: From behind wingnut lines

Reminds me of the Bircher freak who was head of Lubbock Right to Life a few years ago. He and his church were also open, up-front, advocates of hoarding and price gouging during shortages and emergencies. This would ensure that scarce goods were distributed to the people who were “best prepared to make use of them and would benefit most,” ie the wealthy. He asserted that actual possession was the ultimate negotiating position and should therefore be paramount. I asked him whether a shotgun in his face might, in fact, be a superior negotiating position. He thought that was immoral.

It is truly remarkable how the people who are the most outspoken about their commitment to Christ have adopted a theology which is very nearly the exact opposite of what Jesus is quoted as saying in the Bible. One would think a follower of Jesus would be hoarding supplies for the purpose of sharing with the community in a time of need.
