Jesus was fond of telling his followers not to worry about how they’d afford food tomorrow because God would provide. But Jesus told them this while handing out free bread and encouraging them to help people who were in need, making them the outlet through which God would provide for others
My mother was a waitress, we live in an area that has a lot of Christians and people would often stiff her on tips. Instead they’d leave a pamphlet with quotes from Jesus saying not to worry because God would provide
Jesus’ message was never that God would magically put food on people’s tables. God would provide opportunities to help each other, like the boat captains offering to help the dying man. That only works if people actually help each other
When I first heard this joke as a teenager I laughed at the guy who didn’t take the help that was offered to him. As an adult, I think of all the Christian politicians who vote against food stamps and I want to tell them “You were the boat captain but you steered away from the man in need instead of offering him help. Is that really what God wanted you to do?”

For you, Scully? Scully, are you joking? Are you joshin' me? Scully, I would always make time for you. My time is precious but you are more so. Scully, you are... a shining pearl in the sea of mediocrity. I would do anything for you. *wipes tear*
Most of the assholes who scream “Blue Lives Matter” have never heard of any of these heroes. They’re too busy defending murderers like Darren Wilson, Daniel Pantaleo, and Timothy Loehmann.
“Not all cops are bad.” No shit. The cops shown in the photo are good cops, and there are many more like them. So why are you only defending the bad cops?
Didn’t include one of the most egregious cases of all, the time the NYPD had a cop involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. He was released after a week when the doctors determined he was fine and not ill in any way. He had reported fellow cops for brutality.
The officer’s name is Adrian Schoolcraft and the hospital still billed the family.
