Ramamurti: Why is it from the perspective of Republicans great to forgive a loan of up to $10 million to a business owner but if we want to provide $10k or $20k in loan relief to a teacher or a bus driver or a nurse.. all the sudden it’s socialism

Bold of Christians to be mad about student debt forgiveness while professing a faith that is literally based on forgiving debts.

NEW: A Fox anchor just shut down Rick Scott when he said the fact that his 2022 GOP platform calls for raising taxes on most Americans and sunsetting Social Security is a “Democrat talking point”: “It’s in the plan! It’s not a Democratic talking point. It’s in the plan!”

There’s no such thing as unskilled labor. It’s just a job you don’t want to do yourself. All jobs are essential; except for CEOs.

All the theologizing about empathy can’t hide the reality that low empathy is often rooted in fear and control. God-forbid I see the world from a perspective that might challenge what I’m comfortable with.

Can you imagine if “how are you going to pay for it” was asked about the war in Afghanistan 20 years ago?

I’m starting to think that what Jesus meant by “everyone will hate you if you follow me” has less to do with people not wanting to be told they’re sinners, and everything to do with people in power not wanting to lose power and see poor people have nice things.

How do you know when you’re following Jesus? When the government and religious elites both hate you for your politics.

Stop using the name of Jesus to deny the work of Jesus. Feed the hungry Care for the sick Be kind to strangers Love your neighbor Remember the prisoner Stand up for the marginalized Rise for the broken. Jesus waits for us there. – at Espinosa, Puerto Rico

Immediately after 9/11, as the stock market swooned, Wall Street and corporate America issued stock options to their own execs. Virtually no one knows about this story but it's perhaps the most evil display of malevolent greed in modern U.S. history. wsj.com/articles/SB115292514…

These are the same Republicans who were praising Trump for Operation Warp Speed.

This is more than biblical illiteracy. This is regular illiteracy. This is not to mock or make fun. This is to show where we are right now. This is the problem. This is going in my book.

This means that current property owners in any area will always fight tooth and nail to prevent cheap housing from being built, because cheap mass housing reduces the value of their own property. This is capitalism in action, i.e. society being organized around private property.

Followers of Jesus can make no peace with an economic system that daily transgresses human dignity and planetary boundaries for the sake of maximizing financial profit in cycles of unending growth. christiansocialism.com/chris…

Christians today don’t have to turn the other cheek because they’re the ones striking first
