Homeless situation....

I’ve argued before that ‘we’ have a real fetish for punishment
This works best if we believe that there are good people and bad people
I get that we built fictions and mythos aroun this notion for lack of better explanation
But discoveries in genetics and brain chemistry indicate that this narrative is at least overly simplistic if not completely false

I think it behooves all of us to let go of our fairytales and deal with people as people and not pat fictions

I think its also worth pointing out that many pride themselves as Christians and good people. Well, Jesus didn't check peoples circumstances when handing out loaves and fish. He just did good.

I'm irritated by the notion that someone can only be charitable once per week in Church. After that, it seems many can feel free to look down on those judged to be less worthy because of personal distaste for them.

God said it is not up to us to judge others. It's up to us to follow his commands. I missed the one that says to hold others to a standard dictated by wealthy elites who don't want to pay taxes or living wages.
