    So you agree Jesus wouldn't support the occupiers then?

    Well, at least the author is unbiased.

    But just what does Jesus' order to occupy mean? Does it mean take over and trash public property, as the Occupy movement has? Does it mean engage in antisocial behavior while denouncing a political and economic system that grants one the right and luxury to choose to be unproductive?
    Who is OWS against? Wasn't it the people who run finances? And didn't Jesus have some famous quote about people who run finances... hm...

    To be sure, one could argue that Jesus was more pissed they were doing such in a house of worship. But I think trying to paint Jesus as some sort of free market paragon is foolish.

    If all he would do is just write opinion pieces, I wouldn't have a problem with him.

    Unfortunately, this is just another guy that wants to use the bible-thumping to tell everybody how they have to live. His words:

    The definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman is rooted in the order of nature itself. It promotes the continuation of the human race and the cooperation of a mother and a father in raising the children they produce. This union can only be protected through amending the United States Cons ution. If it's not, activists will continue using the courts to sell a five-legged dog. But as we say where I'm from in Louisiana, 'that dog won't hunt.'

    I can't believe that guy took the time to write a serious take on "supply-side jesus"

    On a serious note, just alarming a guy like him is in a position of power...

    A Christmas tree is not a symbol of Christianity, but of paganism.

    Adam Smith along with his contemporary and close friend David Hume were staunch empiricists.

    Sure, but I recognize it for what it is. Christianity, in it's movement to convert, took a pagan winter solstice holiday, and turned it into Christ's birthday. It's all a lie.

    I get such a laugh at all the ignorant people trying to change "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holiday's," because they think it's a Christian thing. I get a laugh out of the ignorant Christians for the same reason.
