Sam provided two reasons not to answer your impudent inquiry, CP. Thus far you have challenged only one of them (in two consecutive posts, funnily enough-- wasn't one enough?). With or without the Bible, the question is not immediately relevant to this discussion.

I'm just tired of the hypocrisy..... if you don't think people are getting enough money, why don't you liberals come up with it yourselves, instead of stealing Other People's Money?
But, feel free to continue to use the government as a weapon against fellow believers.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Here is the OP, lest anybody forget....
Originally posted by seer View PostI hear the libs constantly whining about income inequality. The thing is, I'm not sure where we are to go with that. Of course there is income inequality - some people are not that bright, some don't value education, others are just plain lazy. And I don't see how you fix that.
Where is the justice or morality in that?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I imagine that you know all of this. And I imagine you understand that you took Scripture out of context, while my quote was within context. I really do find it offensive and detrimental."I wonder about the trees. / Why do we wish to bear / Forever the noise of these / More than another noise / Robert Frost, "The Sound of Trees"

At least for some. For others their job is worth less because you and Spartacus flooded the market with Mexicans.
