What a dirt bag. What a Christian, isn't he? I mean, he, like Abraham, listened to Gawd.

His words after he left the disabled woman at the side of the road:
"Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave," said Ken Shupe of Shupee Max Towing in Traveler's Rest, S.C.. "And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed."
Even though the woman in the accident had a disabled sticker on her car, he refused, claiming he didn't know till later, but his decision would be the same.

Why?

She had a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker?

Christian or dirt bag?

According to the article he is a Trump supporter, so I guess this is what "make America great again" means to at least some of those folks.

Look at what Trump is emboldening ... ain't it grand?

He is a scumbag who just happens to be Christian. Refusing to assist a vehicle because the person has a different political viewpoint is a sign of a scumbag. Connecting it to the comments in the atheists dog walking thread, this sounds like a very selfish act using religion as an excuse. I cannot see how anyone could defend his decision as being the right one to do.

Sadly, I can see how anyone could defend his decision.

Step one: otherize, dehumanize, hate and fear-monger about people who disagree with you.
Step two: use their less than human status as an excuse to treat them badly
Step three: escalate until you feel less insecure and more in control

This is a classic pattern of behavior for authoritarian types -- and for those who pander to them.

I guess the Lord forced to make him become oblivious the Good Samaritan story out of his bible.

Of course in this case that story would have been "out of context." I mean, we're talking about a Bernie supporter here who might just be a deadbeat.

Dirt bag! I don't really care whether was 'Christian' or not, he's still a dirt bag. But the fact that he acted out of his 'belief' is nothing short of disgusting - sub human in fact! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits!

Same old crap of a post by you, cupper.

What if a CHRISTIAN MAN or group established a free medical clinic for disables or for those without health insurance? What would you call it? "Ohh you don't have to be a Christian to do this"

You are right, but guess what? RELIGION AND/OR GOD, DOES NOT, DOES NOT, and DOES NOT, tell its followers to do immoral and/or SINFUL THINGS. It's a known and well understood piece of knowledge.

It's the each and every individual who brings whatever he has, to the religion -

PUHLEEAASSEEE use some common sense for a change and try to understand that religion is NOT to be blamed as the source of evil or immorality. It's THE INDIVIDUAL PERSON who brings whatever he has TO the religion.
