They are? That's quite a definitive position without any evidence to back it up.I don't believe in the existence of heaven or hell. They are man-made construct meant to keep the populace"in line".
Really? There are have been millions of people on their deathbed who have claimed to see relatives and a light. There have been many who have had "Near Death Experiences" that report both heaven and hell. What shred of evidence do you have that they don't exist? Can you name even one pice of evidence that suggests they don't?They are? That's quite a definitive position without any evidence to back it up.I don't believe in the existence of heaven or hell.

There is more evidence to support that they don't exist since there is zero to support that they do. My position is actually the logical one. Christians take a much more definitive position with no evidence to support their belief that it does.
If that stat is correct (and I have no idea if it is or not), that still leaves a staggering 30% of the nation that doesn't fit into that category. That's almost 1/3 of an entire nation made up of 330 million people (or 99 million people for those that aren't good at math).Ah, so the incentives aren't for the 70+% of the country that is Christian? That's quite a pretzel you twist yourself into to justify hypocrisy.

The left is all over the news, social media, and even right here on USMB these days attempting to exploit the Bible for their own political gain. Whenever they are incapable of defending their irrational position, aside from screaming racist/homophobe/xenophobe/etc., they will invariably scream "the Bible says to redistribute wealth". The problem, of course, is that the Bible says no such thing. And they would know that if they didn't hate the Bible and religion. It's a bad idea to attempt to quote something one has never read.
Josh Protas, the vice president of public policy at MAZON, a Jewish anti-hunger group...quoted a verse in Leviticus. Not to be outdone, Rep. Jodey Arrington quoted a Bible verse of his own, saying, “If a man will not work he shall not eat.”
“I did hear Mr. Protas, your opening remarks, where you quoted Leviticus, I believe — and I think that’s a great reflection on the character of God and the compassion of God’s heart and how we ought to reflect that compassion in our lives,” Arrington said. “But there’s also, you know, the Scripture, tells us in 2 Thessalonians chapter 3:10, he says, ‘for even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: if a man will not work, he shall not eat.’ And then he goes on to say ‘we hear that some among you are idle.’
Boom! Talk about a knockout blow. This is what happens to a person who doesn't know the Bible and yet attempts to exploit it for the evils of socialism/marxism/communism.

Evidence? You have it in reverse. Those who make claims must support them with evidence, or at least reason.They are?

If that many people were actually Christians, instead of just saying they are when asked by a poll taker, this country would be a vastly different place. The reality is, they are not. In fact, most people have no idea what being a Christian really means.1. Not everyone in a Christian sweetie. Just ask all the muslims you want to import from Syria, Iraq, etc.Why would donations need an incentive? Aren't you Christians supposed to do it because Jesus told you to and not because you get a tax break from the government?
2. When the government takes 65% of what we earn, it doesn't leave us much to live off of - much less donate. Hence the need for tax deductible donations.

Conservative =/= Christian. You should know that.In summation, what the OP meant to say was,
leave the Bible exploitation to the experts, aka, Conservatives.

Whether you feel someone is "actually" a Christian or not is immaterial. They self describe as Christian.
Was it or was it not Christians that passed the tax break for charitable giving?

I think I see your problem, you don't know Jesus very well. First off, He gave freely to all who came to Him, not just the poor. Secondly, He told one man, not all of His disciples, to sell what he had and give it to the poor. In fact, the group had money of their own. Remember Judas? He held it for them.All I know is that some homeless schmoe like Jesus of humble parents, born in a barn and who as a young adult chilled with a Roman Tax collector [Matt], hung out with a woman of murky repute went to the Temple and literally whipped ass on money changers... he then went about giving free food and drink and medical care to the poor and was exhorting his followers to sell all they had and give it over to the poor does not sound Republican at all even one its y bits y bit ...
Do you ever wonder what became of the shepherd who owned the flock of sheep that Jesus drowned to kill the demon Legend?
They were pigs, not sheep. The keepers ran back to the town and they all came out to demand that Jesus leave.Do you ever wonder what became of the shepherd who owned the flock of sheep that Jesus drowned to kill the demon Legend?

Rachel Dolezal self describes as a black woman. It does not make her one.

I don't know them. You are saying they are, perhaps you could indicate what leads you to say that? First, why not identify the legislators who voted for the measure? Then we can look at who they were.
2,000 of them in one place, with human keepers? Not too likely.may have been wild pigs ...like at the Hog's Breath saloon in Key west
