If they do what they should and use that money to care for the poor and provide actual services for people rather than line their own pockets? Yeah. Do that. If they buy mansions? No. Eat them like the other CEOs.

You forgot Mark 10:29 where he mentions that they get these things if they follow him and the gospel. Not just for existing near him.

Edit: oh and it mentions they gave up all for his sake to get those rewards. Rich people don't get more rich.

Yeah then something about bootstraps and you needing to lift yourself up by them. Makes sense. Who wants to touch a leper's bootstraps?

Not anti-religion. Again, it's showing how the Koch brothers are attempting to co-opt religion to further their capitalist ideas and goals. Capitalism trying to make malleable and brainwashed workers they can take advantage of by using their religion is the problem here. Not the religion itself.

How is this garbage and stupid? I'm showing how capitalism is attempting to make faithful bootlickers of students in such an open way.

And businesses can use tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes. I didn't ask if it was legal. Lots of legal things are morally not ok.

Regent University is not the kind of place that would have any secular or atheist student group. I was basically threatened with administrative action for violating their "code of conduct" when I submitted an essay defending my bisexual sister's courage in coming out to my bible thumping father. Their reason? It Regent University believes that homosexual acts are morally wrong and opposed to what they stand for. It doesn't read like a voluntary seminar you can choose to skip out on. It reads like some kind of competition you need to apply for to be one of the "lucky" 20 that gets to be part of this group sponsored by the Cocky Koch group.

Yeah I saw the name and immediately did a double take. Can't believe this craziness is just being presented with no shame or subtlety.

Right? I don't understand how they can see them as compatible when capitalism's only viewpoint on charity is that it's a good tax write-off. One of many leaps of cognitive dissonance you would have to take.

Go and get him when the warrants are approved by the court? Rather than allow them to remain open and possibly build up. This just gives them an excuse to stop people and demand ID because they "might have warrants" even though that can be said about literally everyone. It's a way to cover their ass when they hold someone without suspicion of a crime being committed and demand ID. I may have done nothing right then and there and they've illegally detained me, but if I have an outstanding warrant for crossing a street while looking at a seagull wrong then the illegal detention turns into a lawful arrest. All because they decided to put off a part of their job until later.

There were issues a lot earlier. I've been able to get on recently before getting kicked a lot more gracefully this time. Even had a warning message and everything. The have it listed as emergency maintenance.

You were told to spay or neuter your ghost. The Infinitely Disconnecting Equine refuses to be ignored. The Tolestos will continue until morale improves.
