So, the Bible is into production and work, not supporting sloth.
The book of morals and civilized freedom - The Bible: a fiction novel, created long ago and revised several times. King James edition, seems to be the law of the land.
Quote:
The Democrats say: tax the wealthy more, then redistribute this to the poor.
The Republicans say: let people and companies keep the money they earn, which they can then use to build their businesses and hire more people.
What is the end result of each approach?
The Republican way ends up with more jobs.
Then Democrat way ends with more unemployed.
What does the Bible say? “Those who don’t work should not eat.”
2Thessalonians 3:10. And in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-25), the person who had 10 talents and made good use of them was given the talent of the person who had only one who didn’t make good use of it.
(By the way, a talent in today’s dollars would be worth $480,000).

Wow, never knew the Bible said the way to go is through Partisan cuts, supporting the rich and do anything to gain political power, could someone post the chapter and verse so I can also become enlightened?
"What does the Bible say? “Those who don’t work should not eat.”
That was long before capitalism. Rulers were not elected, but led by 'divine right'.
That phrase could also apply to slaves, couldn't it?
A will to work is of no use if not enough jobs are created by the hallowed 'job creators'. The 'job creators' then decide if people shall eat of not, or possibly die of starvation, with the bible's blessings! Great biblical message!
Another reason why religion is for anti-social psychopaths...and I'm glad to be an atheist.
That was the dumbest load of tripe I have read in a long time. Anyone who tries to use the bible to defend modern-day Republican party politics probably has a primitive mindset.

As soon as you quote where anyone said any of that.
Charity and good, has never been found under the bottom of a boot.
That is why Jesus suggested to keep all giving a secret, using a parable that clearly escapes the Christian zealots.
