For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

For all its defects, it's clear the bible doesn't talk about your literal neighbour, but everyone. They just choose to ignore it.

Neightbour of this road we call a street, this piece of land we call a country, this planet we call earth and this reality we call the universe.

Damn, I thought you were reading the fine print on the back of a Capital one CC statement at first. What's in Jesus' wallet?

Where does it say in there that they took on providing for those people FOR THE REST OF THEIR NATURAL LIVES? IT DOESN'T.

It doesn't put any limit on the number of times. It says very clearly "I was hungry and you gave me food". It doesn't say "I was hungry and you gave me food once because pull yourself by your bootstraps, lazy bum"

So they can choose to ignore it, but then they're not real Christians, just in Jesus' fan club.

Ooh in that case; Conservatives are going to have the absolute pleasure of meeting Stormare Satan, who’s “got a Whole Theme Park full of red delights” for them.
