During a recent televised debate, Rep. Jasmine Crockett took Mike Huckabee down over his interpretation of Christian morality.

Jasmine Crockett:

“Governor Huckabee, what does Jesus say in Matthew 25 about how we’ll be judged?”

Mike Huckabee:

He hesitated, mumbling something about sheep and goats.

Crockett: “That’s right. The final judgment. Would you like me to quote it?”

Before Huckabee could respond, she read directly from her phone:

“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 sick and you looked after me.

I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

Crockett continued:

“Jesus doesn’t mention abortion.

He doesn’t mention same-sex marriage.

He doesn’t bring up tax rates or culture war issues.

The only criteria Jesus gives for heaven or hell are how we treat the poor, the sick, the immigrant, the prisoner.”

She looked Huckabee in the eye:

“So, Governor, if you oppose every single one of those policies, what does that say about your understanding of Christian morality?”

Huckabee tried to respond, but Crockett pressed on:

Matthew 19:21 – “Sell all your possessions and give to the poor.”

Luke 4:18 – “Proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for the prisoners.”

Matthew 8 – Jesus heals a man with leprosy, touching someone society called unclean.

“You say I’m not a real Christian because I support feeding programs for kids, universal health care, and immigration reform. But Jesus said those are the exact things that determine salvation.”

Then came the knockout:

“Jesus never said, ‘I was a wealthy corporation and you gave me tax breaks.’

He never said, ‘I was a gun manufacturer and you protected my profits.’

He never said, ‘I was a pharmaceutical company and you let me charge whatever I wanted.’”

Crockett concluded: “Your version of faith asks whether someone deserves help before offering it. But Jesus never said, ‘I was hungry and you checked if I had a job first.’”

She quoted Isaiah 58, Proverbs 31, and Micah 6:8, then addressed Huckabee’s final attempt to challenge her.

Huckabee: “But you still support abortion and same-sex marriage. You’re picking and choosing.”

Crockett: “The word abortion appears zero times in the Bible. Same-sex marriage, also zero. But caring for the poor? Dozens of times. Welcoming immigrants? Direct commands. Healing the sick? Over and over again. So if someone’s cherry-picking, Governor, it isn’t me.”

She closed with this: “You’ve spent your whole career telling Christians they have to choose between their politics and their faith. But maybe the real question is this: How can someone claim to follow Jesus while opposing everything Jesus said?”

Looks like we have to bring back this comic. The recent Minneapolis school shooter was a detransitioner, not a trans person. But facts never stop conservatives. Trans people are actually one of the least likely demographics to be mass shooters. We should be more worried about cis men, who are over 98% of shooters. The trolls have to make up statistics/identities to pin the massacres on trans people.

For the purpose of this poll, books in the same world but not Directly sequels count. If they're grouped on Goodreads, it counts. So like, Percy Jackson but also Magnus Chase count as the same series.

Fruit bats are often fed soft fruits like watermelon and bananas because they’re easy to chew and full of water and natural sugars.

The psychological toll of inaction is how we get to where saying things like "maybe empathy is a sin" is not immediately dismissed as vile bullshit a moron would.

Failing our children should bring shame. Fcuking Republicans wear AR-15 lapel pins!

People who live without the shame of children dying of gunshots at school elect a Boomer rapists indebted to dictators who spent their entire adult life molesting and raping children.

Did I read this right? They’re actually planning on remaking the Chronicles of Narnia, but removing the religious subtext? How can you do that without completely changing the entire story?! Not to mention changing the setting like that. The fact that the Pevensie children were among the children evacuated to the countryside during WW2 was a pretty important plot point.

What’s next, remaking Star Wars but leaving out the Force?

"Magician's Nephew will be set in the 50s. The Pevensies will exist in present day." Thanks, I hate it.

I haven't even read all those books and am slowly getting through them but if the creators of this show wanted to have a present day story where kids escape into a second world, they could've made that show. C.S. Lewis doesn't own that concept and would likely enjoy that he inspired another story like that.

But all the reports of this movie wanting to take out the religious context--aka the entire backbone of the story--and now allegedly taking away the WW2 time period? It won't be the same story at all.
