And you don't understand the absurdity of you grating on this
"fact" ad nauseam.

Tanzan the zen master was going somewhere with his acolyte when
they were caught in a torrential downpour. They sought shelter
and afterwards continued their journey. They came upon a woman
who was clearly distressed at crossing a road which had turned
her into a river. Tanzan offered to carry her across and she
climbed on his back and was safely brought to the other side.
Tanzan bade her farewell and the two continued on their way.

After some time, the acolyte said: "Master, the rules forbid us
from having anything to do with women and yet you carried her
across that stream...I do not understand."

Tanzan chided him, saying: "I carried her for a few moments, but
you, you are carrying her still!"

QED

--

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t
help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus
was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge
that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy
without condition, and then admit that we just don’t
want to do it.
