Here’s how Christian social media works... Status: “Poor is one who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” The comments: “This is a little judgmental. I know a guy who isn’t rich but works hard. Are you saying he’s lazy?” “Yeah, and I know a rich guy who is lazy. He inherited all his dad’s money. Not diligent at all.” “Why do you care so much about economics? We should focus on heavenly things.” “Oh, so poor people are lazy?” “A lot of us work hard but are still poor because of taxes. What do you believe about a flat tax?” “I think Christians should desire poverty of spirit.” “A little off-topic, but do you think Die Hard is a Christmas movie? Come on. You know it is.” “The real reason we’re poor is the hidden tax of inflation.” “This sounds a little like class warfare.” “The richest guy I know was born without hands. What do you say to him?” “This would be true if we lived in a theonomic society. That’s why Rushdoony is my homeboy.” Weird, slightly related GIF. “Tell us how you really feel, Michael!” "More of this ragebaiting grift? You TheoBros are all about the clicks." “The Bible also says money is the root of all sin.” Reply from another commenter to the above: “Actually, it says the love of money is the root of all sin.” This becomes a fiery, aggressive subthread that somehow ends up being about pastoral salaries and George Soros. After a while...
