Apparently he stated that "you shall always have the poor amongst you". The problem is today, the poor are seen as some type of inconvenience.

I didn't see the O'Reilly piece. But Jesus was clearly NOT a socialist. He favored people helping each other, not government doing more and more.

To that extent, Jesus was a conservative.

Well there's no historical evidence that he ever existed, but if were going by the gospels, then yes he was a socialist.

I suppose the people who liken him to a social darwinist also believe he wasn't Arab, or a Jew.

Can't have a logical debate with religious folk, its oxymoronical.

why did you edit the phrase?

His last part of the phrase addresses your "today" assessment.

That was the whole point of the phrase...the poor will be here, even when I am not.

What does that mean? When Im gone, forget about them? You dont have to worry bout them anymore?

Besides, where does the guy who can't explain how tides work get off debating a religious scholar, or anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the world for that matter?
