I have to tell you, and yes I’m drunk, but if I were a Christian who thought I’d someday face Jesus, the idea of explaining why I took food out of the mouths of the poor ON PRINCIPLE? I’d be scared shitless.

I’m thinking of a family friend who made several fortunes. Including as the first investor in Bob’s Big Boy. At his funeral, there were endless stories of all the ways he had helped people. Almost no one who knew him knew any of it because he’d never announced it. Paying entire college tuitions, forgiving loans, providing start-up funds, and on and on.

In his Bible, he had underlined every single verse about helping the poor. That’s it. This man was a Christian—an actual follower of Christ.

Side note because it’s hilarious. He collected Remington sculptures, all over his houses, among other expensive objects.

But what his wife was always most panicked about having stolen was the Bob’s Big Boy statue haha.

@Holberg

That fear was real

@Holberg of course she is. The Bobs Big Boy statue is much more valuable. lol. Much cuter.
@Holberg Great, but one person like that won’t make up for a nation that doesn’t use taxation to redistribute massive wealth inequities.
@ELS Yeah, my point was that he was an outlier.
@Holberg @ELS
These outliers are invisible…there are more of them than you think.

@Holberg it’s even in the old Torah…which is what he was teaching from as the Common Folk had forgotten or just didn’t know .

And yeah…that guy sounds like a True Christian with a Pure Christian Heart
