Sharpton: Republicans Can't 'Use Christianity' Then Vote Against Welfare

Call yourself a Christian? Then you can't oppose whatever welfare programs the Democrats come up with. So in effect argued Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show this evening.
In the course of criticizing House Republicans for having passed a bill reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the national motto, Sharpton somehow equated Christianity with support for the liberal agenda. And although I'm the opposite of an expert on Christian theology, he also came up with a formulation on faith and works that might be surprising to some Protestants.

churches, synagogues and private groups used to distribute welfare until the government interfered.

Jesus was NOT a Socialist, butt-tard. It was left up to the INDIVIDUAL and THE CHURCH for tithing. NOT for the government to TAKE from us to re-distribute as they see fit.

speaking of using a title ‘REVEREND” is a mis-nomer for Sharpton....

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order : if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

Few things have been more responsible for the breakup of the black family than the welfare system.

Government theft is anti-Christian.....Christian teaching is all about subsidiarity—which means NO CENTRALIZED CONTROL—you idiot sharpton. Charity can NEVER be force.

And when someone says this ... I say, “if you insist that I vote for this then I demand that all my government officials and everyone hired to work for the welfare BE Christian...”
