		<description>Ben Franklin observed that if people were angels (or Jesus I suppose he would add) we wouldn&#039;t need government.  If we didn&#039;t need government North Carolina State Rep. Drew Saunders would be on welfare because he is clearly too stupid and arrogrant to work in the real world.</description>

		<description>What he also forgot, was that Jesus gave up all his earthly possessions and spent his life wandering, with his disciples, to spread the gospel of love and charity.  They slept out in the open, and Jesus had to depend on the charity of others, because he and the disciple didn&#039;t possess money.  So, is this guy going to give up his earthly possessions?  Yeh, when Hell freezes over.  What a cry baby.  
When I worked for a nonprofit, we were not allowed to accept any gifts regardless of value, it had to be turned over to the agency I worked for, because the idea was we were already paid for the work we were doing, and we were not suppose to accept gifts for doing our job.  Now I think that is a great way to cure Congress, make them turn over every gift they get, because we already pay for them to do a job, so they shouldn&#039;t be getting gifts for just doing their job.</description>

		<description>Actually, Christ more or less committed suicide, disdaining to work from within to change society. If he was corrupted, it was by his halucinations of angels telling him he was the son of god and he had to die.</description>

		<description>God also said that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god. 

I guess that means bush and cheney aren&#039;t going to heaven. (oh and being responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents pretty much disqualifies you as well)</description>
