Celerity
(43,398 posts)This is despite him being a preacher who should know about Jesus Christ saying that it to be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven. Jackson believes that charity shouldn't go to the poor but instead upward, to the wealthy since they are the "job creators". In his book he even suggests giving your money directly to him if the reader begins to feel a deep connection to God. He goes on to say that God will make one "prosper" so long as they donate to him and his church.
Jackson is critical of the theory of evolution, saying that since chimpanzees can't talk, it must be a sign they can't evolve(???) and therefore evolution is not real.

(6,917 posts)My wardrobe could use the attention a "Homoacracy" might bring. Would every citizen also be a little bit more understanding of what it's like to be the object of discrimination as a minority? I could go for that, too.
Count me in! I'm changing my leaning to But...Butea...Buttogi.....Mayor Pete.
I appreciate him asking for my vote, and also I that might change my mind---he knows I wasn't born to vote for Pete. And he certainly knows the difference between unchangeable things we are born with, and things that are simple preferences.

Many of Trump's supporters consider Jackson himself proof that they did evolve.
They are not even subtle about it.

The Handmaids Tale shows events unlikely to occur- this guy would be part of the social-political base for such a system.

(4,723 posts)First thing we'll do is make all men dress up in drag, Then, we'll have mandatory weekly gay pride parades and make all the men get up on parade floats and lip sync to various popular female performers. We'll change the national anthem to "I am Who I am."
Good grief. This silly magical thinking from conservakook leaders.
