Who would Jesus feed? So much for fishes and loaves!
September 1st, 2011
A busy Winnipeg church food bank has announced that it is closing because it is attracting too many poor people.
“It’s attracting a lot of street people that make it uncomfortable,” said Charlotte Prossen, Unity Truth Centre minister Thursday, “It’s creating social unrest in the church.”
God knows his only son knew a thing or two about poverty, discomfort and unrest. Christianity was in fact based on Christ’s lack of comfort, His pain, in fact. One of the basic tenets of Christianity is to not merely tolerate the poor but to help them out. It is the very essence of Christianity, which makes one wonder why so many Republicans are so gung-ho about Christ. But then, there is all that money to consider.
“‘A food bank is a social service and that is not who we are”, added Prossen, obviously leaning Republican.
But face facts, Ms. Prossen, Jesus was a flaming socialist. He was in fact the socialist’s Socialist. Let that one sink in for you as well, Mr. Perry and Mrs. Bachmann.
Rushing to support the good minister of Unity Truth Centre’s decision was Rev. David Durksen of the Unity Church of Victoria. He clarified in no uncertain terms what lay behind the decision to close of the food bank.
“‘Most clients of food banks have not yet come to a sense of personal responsibility in life,” wrote Dirksen. “They are still in denial, blaming or seeing the world as owing them,” he wrote, wiping his robes clean of the affair by blaming the victims.
Well praise be, Lordy! Unity Church-goers in Canada have captured the essential ideology of the Republican Party down here! It’s what makes a Republican a, well…Republican.
Ms. Prossen finished by praising the work done by food banks, and said her church will still collect food for baskets but focus more on people’s spiritual hunger.
Nice rhetorical save there, eh? Hey, Ms. Prossen, I got yer spiritual hunger right here!

Jesus would feed us all, he has no picks or choices,God is Great
If you want to help people then help. No need to go political or defensive about it. Christ told us to love the poor. In fact, several passages in the bible stated that the poor will be able to enter the kingdom of God while the rich will have difficulty in doing so. And when Jesus fed the hundreds of people listening to him preach, he gave them all fish and bread. He didn’t ask who they are or what they do before feeding them.
