USAID prevented 92 million people from dying. So Christians voted fir Trump' and he killed it.

Warnock is often an inspiration and usually demonstrates the kind of soul that Jesus sought to inspire through His church.

Yep

Okay let's start with some basic math since MAGAs have such a problem with numbers.

That's not relevant, since I am not MAGA.

I teach Math.

Did USAID save any lives?

It's possible, even likely.

Various USAID programs were moved to the State Department. Did they save the lives?

There you go. Proof again that MAGA doesn't do math.

A lot of conservative Christians have decided to go with the "voluntary giving" ideology to avoid being their "brother's keeper" or taking care of the "least of these". Its their way of turning their back on Jesus while convincing themselves that they are righteous.

The job of helping the less fortunate falls on the church, not the government.

If the Church is not helping people sufficiently, it should be stripped of its tax exemptions, period, end of story.

Logical fallacy--false equivalence.

Since you still have nothing but a largely discredited article, I conclude you have no desire to understand what you are quoting.

Good job. God watches.

Any Christian that voted for Donald, is no Christian at all.

Leviticus 19:33-34

33; When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.
34; The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

It falls on both.

You can keep pretending. That doesn't mean that people are not dying or won't die.

Have you ever been inside a church? Do you know the Commandments? Do you understand the Sermon on the Mount?

Why are you here letting people die when you could donate your internet money and save lies?
God is watching you.

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan,as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denari and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 10:25-37 - New International Version

The Parable of the Good Samaritan - On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all...

Governments are primarily tasked with maintaining order, infrastructure, and defense, not fostering compassion.

If a church amasses wealth, builds lavish facilities, or focuses solely on its members’ spiritual needs while neglecting the broader community, it undermines the rationale for its tax-exempt status. The IRS under Section 501(c)(3) already requires tax-exempt organizations to serve a charitable purpose, and churches should be held to this standard.

You got some of government’s duties correct.

If a church amasses wealth, builds lavish facilities, or focuses solely on its members’ spiritual needs while neglecting the broader community, it undermines the rationale for its tax-exempt status. The IRS under Section 501(c)(3) already requires tax-exempt organizations to serve a charitable purpose, and churches should be held to this standard.

So we tax the mega churches? I am ok with that.

It's a right-wing and centrist myth that private charity can replace the government's role. It's a drop in the bucket that lets them be against government.
