Don't let Jesus get in your way

Kadizzle read the Bismarck Tribune this morning on line.  As usual he purused the letters to the editor.  One letter today chastised Kadizzle for a letter he wrote to the Tribune on Nov 5.  In the letter of Kadizzle he proposed that people actually carry out their religion through the week, not just on Sunday. The  person who responded chided Kadizzle for using the Bible to promote a "liberal agenda".   Sorry, but the Bible does promote a very liberal agenda.  One could make a very strong argument Jesus was a socialist.  However, that takes a lot of fun out of being greedy.

The whole thing reminds Kadizzle of a little story Kinky Friedman told.  Kinky Friedman came upon a rich Texas rancher praying to a very large statue of Jesus out on the plains of Texas.  The rancher said " The Cadillacs are all in the shop,  the cattle have the blight, and we could use some more rain".  The rancher while he was praying noticed a little Mexican on the other side of the statue praying.  The Mexican was saying " My wife is pregnant, I already have six kids, my wife is sick, and we are about to lose our home" Upon hearing this the rancher reached in his wallet and pulled out a hundred dollar bill.  When he handed it to the Mexican he said " He little buddy, don't be bothering Jesus with that shit anymore".   This perfectly sums up the notion that "Don't use the Bible to promote your liberal agenda".
