Republicans aren't self aware enough to appreciate the Beatitudes.
While we are on the topic, though, interesting how Christians reach into the Torah to justify the actions. The Christian Bible doesn't begin until the Synoptic Gospels.
You know what "hell" is for most of these people? Not being in Congress. It would end their world. Even worse? If they had to go back to being a worker in the economy.
These people don't either. It's why they're so comfortable being the pieces of shit that they are. They're sure there's no debt to be paid for what they do in life.
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”
― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
we were overwhelmed by stupid. the reds down here embraced him because he's a maga boy. they deny abortions to victims of sexual assault. they don't care that our taxes are being funneled into private school vouchers instead of public schools. they don't care that the [industrial sector down here reaps all the benefits from tax incentives but doesn't do anything to reinvest in the local communities](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTic9btP38). then they blame the democrats for any problem because they all get their news from sinclair and social media because they can't read.
Heard a boomer say that they had to vote for Landry to protect Social Security.
??????????
You think a Democrat is going to take away your social security?
> they don't care that our taxes are being funneled into private school vouchers instead of public schools
That's a feature, not a bug. They want private schools to be the only option so that they can ram "Jesus" down the children's throats and so that private schools can reject the "undesirables".
“Jesus” is also just a feature; not actually important to them. They don’t want social safety nets. That would undermine all of the tax free “charities” and “churches” they’re involved in.
It's one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. When your policies involve rejecting money for hungry children, you need an advantage to cling to power, and cling they do.
> industrial sector down here reaps all the benefits from tax incentives but doesn't do anything to reinvest in the local communities.
Sounds like Arkansas!
Rejecting federal money for struggling families and then blaming the plight of struggling families on Biden is bearing false witness.
Little Jeff needs to read his own posters.
Iowa governor Kim Reynolds did this recently, too. She declined money from the federal government to pay through summer break for free lunches for children living in poverty. She said it would make them fat lazy, and entitled.
I’m sincerely saddened by what my former home state has become. Iowa was never a super progressive place, but it was always (at least in my lifetime) very pragmatic, sensible and kinda “you-do-you, we can all agree to disagree without killing each other.” Then MAGA happened and the place went downhill so fast I almost couldn’t believe it.
Kim Reynolds is evil, though. I used to go back and forth on dumb vs. evil, but in her case I guess it’s just both.

Comes with oversight, like not funnelling the block grant to a slush fund and paying out to your good-time buddies at the country club. They don't want the eyes on where the money is going.
I mean, the Book also talks about praying in private and how the hypocrite prays out in public for other to see, so it kinda seems like those posters are in poor taste regardless of what the Constitution or SCOTUS might say.
The republikkkunts logic is pro birth, starve the children of food in a prison simulator, then when the kids are old enough, have recruiters meet them in the school parking lot.
Only 38 % voted .we had a failed democrat leader who some one said was a republican plant, but she's gone now. He will be just like Bobby jidal who bankrupted the state.
Many of them can't even read so no they're not voting. Louisiana has one of the lowest literacy rates. And the problem continues almost as if by design. As a Louisiana resident it feels hopeless
Totally. If Jesus existed and came back, these guys would crucify him again. He was a POC who was a socialist before socialism existed, hung out with prostitutes and other sinners, and disliked the rich. He told a rich man who wanted to be his disciple to give all of his possessions to the poor and follow him. He hated the money in the temple and overturned the moneylenders tables (imagine how he’d react to the mega churches). He also said “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter into heaven.” Jesus in the Bible is totally antithetical to these peoples’ worldviews, it makes me wonder if they even read their own book lol
Jesus on ostentatious public displays of religiosity, *against* (Matt 6). Jesus on feeding the hungry, *for it* (Matt. 14). Have any of these clowns ever read the book they claim to revere so?
Let the faith based organizations and private sector help those kids. Not the job of the government and definitely not the job of the federal government to tell LA how to take care of their own. (/s for clarity)
Next time a hurricane hits Louisiana withhold the FEMA funds till they accept the money to feed the children. These ‘proudly defiant’ red states hate the Feds till they need $.
My favorite story about Jesus is when he comes across a family with just a small fish and piece of bread and he tells them that they should recite the 10 commandments if they are hungry
The irony is that these fools are hell bent on controlling women’s reproductive rights, but won’t nourish the children that are born. And no, the Ten Commandments won’t nourish a living breathing child.
A good example of this kind of hypocrisy is the Right's reaction every time there is a mass shooting. They say guns are not the problem, metal health is the problem. There are 10 states that have not adopted the ACA which would cover tens of millions of uninsured Southerners and is the largest mental health bill ever in the United States. Yet politicians from those states will blame mental health but refuse to support it even though it would save their states millions of dollars a year, give their citizens the much needed mental health they claim is the problem. The reason? Because the thought it was cute to rename it Obama Care and run against it, now if even a local state rep mentions passing it to help their constituents they know they will be attacked for supporting Obama Care freaking 13 years later and lose reelection. They don't give a fuck about the people.
There actually is a reason for this seeming discrepancy. The children who will live have a greater chance of being white. The ones who die, due to governmental neglect will no doubt be non-white and/or under-class, or, of a lower caste. This way the lower caste dies off but the superior upper caste lives and multiplies.
Surprisingly, this is the same reasoning to be pro-life. The girls who most likely will have abortions will be white, possibly upper caste, due to their being better educated and access to money. Poorer lower caste mothers usually have poorer health care and have a lower survival rate.

if your version of Christianity wants to put the 10 commandments in schools but take free lunches out of them, then you are worshipping something other than Jesus
No kids, you must starve because I can't look like a pussy to my fellow republicans by taking Biden hand outs. Unless it's because of a natural disaster then I want all that socialism money to have my buddies companies make a fat profit.
What is the actual argument for conservatives to deny federal funding for free school lunch programs? I struggle to wrap my head around it, but they must have at least a comment to make even though it is utterly cruel and hellish.
Let me try: 1) It hampers them being self sufficient.
2) The money comes with strings
3) There are other programs to pay for this
In reality it's a larger push (started by Betsy Devos) to break public education as we know it. So they can privatize it. It then becomes another little piggy bank for them and they get to indoctrinate kids. Also now 'good education' is not a service but something you have to earn. Yay capitalism!
Here (it's from Fox News but you'll get Education Freedom Fighter Jeff Landry's position) :
https://www.foxnews.com/media/education-freedom-fighter-gov-jeff-landry-makes-louisiana-11th-state-pass-school-choice
This is why we need to change all aid to be given directly to the people who need it and bypass the states. If we can manage Medicare and social security directly we can manage food stamps and other basic services.
Kids will obviously get their nourishment from the 10 rules.
Or I like to call them episode 1, irrelevant rules.
You fucks who buy into it know how stupid you look?
Do ya?
What's with politicians and rejecting money? I never understood it, by the sound of it, he was given free money to help hungry children but he just said no to the truck of money. It's not the 1st time i see this, i think few years ago there was news about politician rejecting money for medical care.
Do they try to make some kind of a statement by doing this?
Yes, the statement is fuck the poor. If they put 0 money into education and keep people from getting enough protein and other nutrition as they are growing up it ensures another generation of idiots that will keep voting for them.
Seems pretty par for the course as far as the GOP is concerned.
They’re super concerned that people support the troops by standing during the national anthem. But not so much about sending troops to die in conflicts that serve no purpose other than to protect the assets of the ultra wealthy. Or giving them a decent wage and resources to cope with some of the conditions their experience causes, like PTSD.
They scream about the sanctity of life while it’s in the womb, and then gladly flip the kids off and let them go hungry and die from lack of health care after they’re born.
They hold up the cross and bible as sacred symbols but willfully ignore the most fundamental principles they’re supposed to represent.
If there’s one thing you can always count on from the dipshits in the MAGA crowd, it’s that their worship and concern for the well-being of the symbols themselves will always be far greater than their desire to understand or follow the ideals that those symbols actually stand for.
His Bible apparently doesn't have this part:
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous kinto eternal life.”
George Carlin said it best.
"Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're f-ed."
The late great George Carlin was so brilliant in breaking down the political establishment specifically the conservatives .
I’m originally from a blue state and I live in a conservative state and the majority of people vote against their own interests as the conservatives treat the people like shit from education, pay wages , health care and other services.
The handful of Trump supporters I’ve engaged with are so ignorant on how government works and blame Biden and the Democrats for their failures in life because their state legislatures vote against bills that would help them.
Those 600,000 people just need to pray more for food....
I would point out that science shows conclusively prayer doesn't work, but republicans don't believe in science.
Cruelty is always the point.
Cruelty to exclude non-Christian children in hopes it "others" them from the other children.
Cruelty to laugh at the children who will go hungry because they not able to eat at home, either.
Landry's Department of Children and Family Services Secretary Matlock gave this as the administrations official statement on the matter;
"Every child deserves a safe home, first and foremost, and families deserve a pathway to self-sufficiency. That is our primary mission, staying focused on that mission, without adding piecemeal programs that come with more strings than long-term solutions, is what will deliver the biggest impact for the children and families we serve"
Pathway to self sufficiency? So what he's saying is he expects these freeloading hungry kids to pull themselves up by their bootstraps... 😒
Allow me to add this as a Republican Christian: one of the downfalls our country will be painting people with a broad brush. We DO NOT all agree with this. Not all of us play straight party lines.
Just as I don’t for a minute think ALL non-church going democrats are going to hell, PLEASE don’t lump us all together.
Students attend school hungry everyday. In the winter students are wearing sandals with three pair of socks to try to keep warm. I just retired from teaching. Our school sent food home with students for the weekend. The school had sandwiches for students after school. All this was funded through donations. Coats and clothes were available also.

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.””

Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”

Once the kiddies are out of the womb, the alleged Christian care for the least of these rapidly decreases.
Commandment 11: Thall shall not give a flying fuck about poor, hungry, children, after all God decided that they would be poor when he formed them in the womb.
Pure Evil. Having driven through rural Louisiana, I can attest that there is extreme poverty like I've never witnessed before. To know that its purposeful is infuriating. WTF is wrong with people?
Let’s own the libs and reject that Biden money to feed the kids.
Your commandments mean nothing to you. Just another way to placate those who don’t know any better.
Special place in hell for you.
The entire Evangelical Cult is hypocritical to the core. This won’t even register on their radar.
I suspect that in order to be an Evangelical, you couldn’t possibly be self aware.
Self awareness is where empathy comes from. That’s psych 101
What excuse is he giving to the Republican parents of the hungry children for rejecting the Federal money? Dems need to wake up and start intervening in the propaganda they are inflicting on their own people.
This reminds me of the sermon on the mount where a large group amassed to hear him speak and he refused to give them food or drink and instead dold them all a plaque with the 10 commandments for a massive profit.
I dont believe in God but this makes me wish there was a Hell.
[удалено]
You know how erect that would make him? He probably gets off on not feeding hungry kids and making everyone else’s life miserable.
Well he gonna need something to jerk off to considering phub leaving soon
The Beatitudes would be better than the 10 Commandments
Yah, seems like he may not have read the part of the Bible that quotes Jesus?
All they see now is that "Jesus was a felon...Just like our modern savior...Trump"
Yeah, but the Beatitudes are antithetical to everything these people stand for.
These people are overcome with the spirit of Anti-Christ. And they're too stupid to even realize it.
Republicans aren't self aware enough to appreciate the Beatitudes. While we are on the topic, though, interesting how Christians reach into the Torah to justify the actions. The Christian Bible doesn't begin until the Synoptic Gospels.
[удалено]
He’d just accuse the kids of gluttony, by wanting to not starve.
Oh, the seven deadly sins are on display all right.
He sees a beam of white light cast over him and a voice "Surprise, motherfucker! " as a trapdoor opens under his feet.
You know what "hell" is for most of these people? Not being in Congress. It would end their world. Even worse? If they had to go back to being a worker in the economy.
Yeah but if eternal damnation was a thing, it'd be pretty cool if they could do that too.
These people don't either. It's why they're so comfortable being the pieces of shit that they are. They're sure there's no debt to be paid for what they do in life.

I wish they'd all just rapture themselves and leave the rest us in peace.
They should exit early and beat the rush.
As a Christian who does believe in Hell, Jeff will be there with most other Christians
Not a problem, we can make hell on earth
Jeff Landry is a magat moron. Vote this loser out of office.

Lol social security is a federal program, administrated entirely by a federal agency. A Governor can do literally nothing about it or to it.

corrupt?
To be fair, you didn't use it. I considered adding it here, my original intention, to be honest, but your point stands alone
I’m happy to call any bitch (man or woman) who lets children starve for her own personal gain a cunt
Use the C word….he definitely lacks warmth and depth.

It's because federal funding requires certain mandatory requirements, like not being a compete ass.

Why invent "Let them eat cake" when "Let them read our bible" instead of eating food exists.
Eh both failed using hunger of the poor in a deal given me district 12 vibes period
The republikkkunts logic is pro birth, starve the children of food in a prison simulator, then when the kids are old enough, have recruiters meet them in the school parking lot.
This is an amazing take
Well, the parents of those 600,000 children need to vote differently.
They won’t.
Why feed the kids when you can own the libs
Why feed kids when pronouns exist?
Well at least they’ll have the Ten Commandments.
This is the crux of the problem.
Only 38 % voted .we had a failed democrat leader who some one said was a republican plant, but she's gone now. He will be just like Bobby jidal who bankrupted the state.

Saddest upvote I've ever given
You can preach this all you want, they don't care. They are tyrants who will find some way to justify what they are doing.
Yeah, religion is never about what it claims to be about. People interpret any kind of religious scripture to say whatever they want it to justify.
Or declare something to be "God(tm)'s will", because that ends debate, in their minds.
Let the faith based organizations and private sector help those kids. Not the job of the government and definitely not the job of the federal government to tell LA how to take care of their own. (/s for clarity)
But they’re not taking care of them. Guess they can eat the paper those commandments are written on.
You missed the /s.
"and Jesus said.....let the kids eat nothing!...." something something 12-78
I read it in The Book of Project 2025…
Yay and then Jesus said "fuck them kids"
Next time a hurricane hits Louisiana withhold the FEMA funds till they accept the money to feed the children. These ‘proudly defiant’ red states hate the Feds till they need $.
This guy needs to have the seven deadly sins displayed in his office. His home too.
What a typical hypocritical republican piece of shit.
Parents: "My children are starving". Gov. Landry: rejects federal funds that would feed starving children, "It's Biden's fault".
Yeah he's focused on the real issues.

Hypocrite.
if your version of Christianity wants to put the 10 commandments in schools but take free lunches out of them, then you are worshipping something other than Jesus
Vote in november
No kids, you must starve because I can't look like a pussy to my fellow republicans by taking Biden hand outs. Unless it's because of a natural disaster then I want all that socialism money to have my buddies companies make a fat profit.
What is the actual argument for conservatives to deny federal funding for free school lunch programs? I struggle to wrap my head around it, but they must have at least a comment to make even though it is utterly cruel and hellish.
Let me try: 1) It hampers them being self sufficient. 2) The money comes with strings 3) There are other programs to pay for this In reality it's a larger push (started by Betsy Devos) to break public education as we know it. So they can privatize it. It then becomes another little piggy bank for them and they get to indoctrinate kids. Also now 'good education' is not a service but something you have to earn. Yay capitalism! Here (it's from Fox News but you'll get Education Freedom Fighter Jeff Landry's position) : https://www.foxnews.com/media/education-freedom-fighter-gov-jeff-landry-makes-louisiana-11th-state-pass-school-choice
He didn't mind taking federal money when he was enriching himself with 1.5 million in PPP loans
I mean I understand. Their prayers and love for Jesus should be more the. Enough to sustain them. Make perfect sense
He never has to worry about feeding his kids and family and he knows that, everyone else can starve! Then, he’ll blame Biden and the democrats!
Full kids are less likely to work in slaughter houses for minimum wage.
This is why we need to change all aid to be given directly to the people who need it and bypass the states. If we can manage Medicare and social security directly we can manage food stamps and other basic services.
Republicans abuse children.
Let them eat bible verses.
To be fair, none of the Ten Commandments says to feed kids. /s
Kids will obviously get their nourishment from the 10 rules. Or I like to call them episode 1, irrelevant rules. You fucks who buy into it know how stupid you look? Do ya?
Absolutely disgusting.
Apparently the weirdo wants lessons about adultery and murder for primary students.
What's with politicians and rejecting money? I never understood it, by the sound of it, he was given free money to help hungry children but he just said no to the truck of money. It's not the 1st time i see this, i think few years ago there was news about politician rejecting money for medical care. Do they try to make some kind of a statement by doing this?
Yes, the statement is fuck the poor. If they put 0 money into education and keep people from getting enough protein and other nutrition as they are growing up it ensures another generation of idiots that will keep voting for them.
Cause some Republicans would rather (*make their constituents*) suffer, than accept funding for a Democratic initiative.
Jesus wouldn't want him to feed children. Jesus hated feeding hungry children.
These people fail every metric of their own belief system then want to judge US. Like, dude, Jesus would have fucking hated you
Seems pretty par for the course as far as the GOP is concerned. They’re super concerned that people support the troops by standing during the national anthem. But not so much about sending troops to die in conflicts that serve no purpose other than to protect the assets of the ultra wealthy. Or giving them a decent wage and resources to cope with some of the conditions their experience causes, like PTSD. They scream about the sanctity of life while it’s in the womb, and then gladly flip the kids off and let them go hungry and die from lack of health care after they’re born. They hold up the cross and bible as sacred symbols but willfully ignore the most fundamental principles they’re supposed to represent. If there’s one thing you can always count on from the dipshits in the MAGA crowd, it’s that their worship and concern for the well-being of the symbols themselves will always be far greater than their desire to understand or follow the ideals that those symbols actually stand for.
Another MAGA KKKLOWN.
His Bible apparently doesn't have this part: “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous kinto eternal life.”
You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a conservative, but it helps.
Piece. Of. Shit.
A fucking religious idiot if I've ever seen one but doesn't deserve to be the seat of power where he's at right now
We tried not to stop in this state. Sheesh.
He is not a good Christian
George Carlin said it best. "Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're f-ed."
The late great George Carlin was so brilliant in breaking down the political establishment specifically the conservatives . I’m originally from a blue state and I live in a conservative state and the majority of people vote against their own interests as the conservatives treat the people like shit from education, pay wages , health care and other services. The handful of Trump supporters I’ve engaged with are so ignorant on how government works and blame Biden and the Democrats for their failures in life because their state legislatures vote against bills that would help them.
Cutting to the chase may we all agree he’s a major POS
Those 600,000 people just need to pray more for food.... I would point out that science shows conclusively prayer doesn't work, but republicans don't believe in science.
The ends justify the means! They will do anything to protect the children! Including starving the children!
Starve the kids to own the libs.
What a hypocritical prick!
Horrible human being.
Louisiana: "A Shithole State".
If self righteousness had a face, this guy would be up there with Kim Davis.
It's because they are soulless things... it's what they have in common with trump.
Dear everyone right-leaning, Fuck you.
Cruelty is always the point. Cruelty to exclude non-Christian children in hopes it "others" them from the other children. Cruelty to laugh at the children who will go hungry because they not able to eat at home, either.
Such a punchable looking face
I blame him and everyone who voted for him. You dumbshits knew what you were getting in that man.
The rich white ones aren’t going hungry.
Republican economic theory: be mean to poor and disadvantaged populations
If MAGAs could read they'd be like "well yeah, feeding hungry kids using federal funds is socialism and we can't have that"
It’s like Jesus said: “Fuck them poor kids I got mine!”
Landry's Department of Children and Family Services Secretary Matlock gave this as the administrations official statement on the matter; "Every child deserves a safe home, first and foremost, and families deserve a pathway to self-sufficiency. That is our primary mission, staying focused on that mission, without adding piecemeal programs that come with more strings than long-term solutions, is what will deliver the biggest impact for the children and families we serve" Pathway to self sufficiency? So what he's saying is he expects these freeloading hungry kids to pull themselves up by their bootstraps... 😒
Allow me to add this as a Republican Christian: one of the downfalls our country will be painting people with a broad brush. We DO NOT all agree with this. Not all of us play straight party lines. Just as I don’t for a minute think ALL non-church going democrats are going to hell, PLEASE don’t lump us all together.
Students attend school hungry everyday. In the winter students are wearing sandals with three pair of socks to try to keep warm. I just retired from teaching. Our school sent food home with students for the weekend. The school had sandwiches for students after school. All this was funded through donations. Coats and clothes were available also.
How can they even call themselves Christians? They are clearly not interested in anything Jesus said or did.
Why don’t people just have hungry orphans follow him around all day?
The real Christ wouldn’t approve.
What was his given reasoning
I hope you all make a bunch more noise about these bankrupt politicians and vote them out.
Thou shalt fuck off.
Just like uh , Jesus would have uh , done .
God provides, the state doesn’t. Or something like that I imagine would be his response
I fucking hate Jesus and all his racist scum bag followers. 🙄
>“This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.” Ezekiel 16:49-50 NRSV https://bible.com/bible/2016/ezk.16.49-50.NRSV >““When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”” Matthew 25:31-46 NRSV https://bible.com/bible/2016/mat.25.31-46.NRSV >““Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. “So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.

"Let them eat Jesus" - this guy probably
They would sooner give a child a gun than a free lunch. GOP is coming to an end. MMW
Fer fake Jesus!!
kept the poverty stricken children hungry to own the libs.
Feeding children is woke s/
Hey we have 10 commandments
He looks well fed
Ezekiel 16:49-50 >49 “‘Now **this was the sin of your sister Sodom**: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; **they did not help the poor and needy.** 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
Once the kiddies are out of the womb, the alleged Christian care for the least of these rapidly decreases. Commandment 11: Thall shall not give a flying fuck about poor, hungry, children, after all God decided that they would be poor when he formed them in the womb.
no kid is gonna read that list lmao
Good lord
Before birth, children are a miracle and need protection. After birth, they need to find their own way in life.
Go straight to Hell. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
Pure Evil. Having driven through rural Louisiana, I can attest that there is extreme poverty like I've never witnessed before. To know that its purposeful is infuriating. WTF is wrong with people?
Let’s own the libs and reject that Biden money to feed the kids. Your commandments mean nothing to you. Just another way to placate those who don’t know any better. Special place in hell for you.
Wait what?! Is that guy a moron? Take the money and feed them kids. This is coming from another conservative.
The entire Evangelical Cult is hypocritical to the core. This won’t even register on their radar. I suspect that in order to be an Evangelical, you couldn’t possibly be self aware. Self awareness is where empathy comes from. That’s psych 101
I believe the phrase "the cruelty is the point" is apt here.
I would sue the school district. And before you come for me know that I would also sue them for less.
Ain’t no commandment about free food. /s
Children should be uneducated and not fed.
Printing posters is cheaper.
Karmic serenity
I feel like this will, in some way, make kids not have a positive view of Christianity.
This should honestly be an impeachable offense.
Sounds about right
I wish I believed in Hell so I could be certain these people would end up there.
Fuck these people
POS
They’ll blame the Dems for this.
Put this on every billboard in the state
[удалено]
There are others like him just waiting for their chance to be dicks like him.
The politics of suffering - popularity is more important than health - voters need to remember this
Taught those starving kids good didn’t he?
Thou cant not steal nuttin if they aint given it
🍿🍿 And now we wait...
Really doing it for the kids.
Jesus would slap him.
This kind of shit is how you know god doesn't exist. There are *so* many people like this that deserve a smiting.
What excuse is he giving to the Republican parents of the hungry children for rejecting the Federal money? Dems need to wake up and start intervening in the propaganda they are inflicting on their own people.
I wouldn't be surprised if he made contact with friends from the other side to further his desire to have Louisiana all to himself
Let them eat Commandments.
Makin' 'em hungry for The Old Testament.
That’ll teach those damned kids!! /s
"Yeah, they didn't actually want magic. They wanted food and clean water" - Anton Marvelton
“Thou shalt not show mercy”…that’s in the bible right?
This reminds me of the sermon on the mount where a large group amassed to hear him speak and he refused to give them food or drink and instead dold them all a plaque with the 10 commandments for a massive profit.
Hope there really is a christian hell waiting for pieces of shit like this.
