theculturewarrior Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The mentally ill are morally defective. If we keep discriminating, the civil rights activists will leave.
theculturewarrior Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 When? When Catholics embrace the fact that it is not okay to threaten someone with violence just because they are disabled. When Catholics stop smearing the mentally ill without ever even being in the same room with them. When threatening an unemployed disabled American with homelessness and the dissolution of his family is viewed as distasteful by Catholic culture. That's when. It cannot come too soon for me.
theculturewarrior Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The poor might enjoy your company less than you realize, but continue to want to serve God.
add Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 when? they sit on there hands for whatever reason
Maggyie Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 the poor have an attitude problem - when? Usually the same time rich and/or middle class people have an attitude problem! When they are ungrateful, feel or act lazy, rely on others to feed them and/or bite the hand that feeds them, ignore opportunities to better their lot, whine. I do all these things very frequently. Right now my household income approaches six figures and I notice as my economic standing improves my attitude does not keep pace. Bad attitude is probably not the main reason most people are poor either. Most of all, remember that Jesus has a preferential closeness to the poor. He didn't say it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a poor person with a bad attitude to get into heaven. He said that about rich people (with no caveat for those with a good attitude)! I think he was being kinda harsh but whatevs. Also the bad attitudes found among the poor doesn't change the fact that we must work tirelessly for social justice. I know you know all this I'm just saying it for lurkers' benefit :)
Debra Little Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The mentally ill are morally defective. If we keep discriminating, the civil rights activists will leave. Excuse me brother. I am one of those morally defective people you are talking about. God loves me and I love Him. I am not morally defective. This is exactly what the Catholic church is doing to the gay community. No wonder they are so hurt. the poor have an attitude problem - when? Usually the same time rich and/or middle class people have an attitude problem!

I find the posts in this section very offensive. I forgive all of you. And I love you all because you are my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Please don't talk about us in such a negative way. When we are pricked do we not bleed?!

His posts identify bad attitudes TOWARDS the poor.
add Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) People are not mentally ill because there poor, god made us all different, rich or poor we are equal. The bad attitude is not using your god given talents just because you are small-talented (poor), but that goes double for the large-talented (rich) too Edited January 12, 2013 by add
add Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 The blessed ones are the poor "in spirit", who by their free will are ready to bear for God's sake this painful and humble condition, even though at present they be actually rich and happy; while on the other hand, the really poor man may fall short of this poverty "in spirit".
Debra Little Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 can I gently suggest, I think you are confused. For instance: Culturewarrior is also mentally ill. His posts identify bad attitudes TOWARDS the poor. Dear Maggie, thankyou. It helps to know this. Thanks for clearing up the confusion. Hugz
Selah Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) What in the ever loving name of the invisible pink unicorn is going on in this thread? I just can;t even anymore...I'm going to go on tumblr and reblog kittens. Edited January 12, 2013 by Selah

r2Dtoo Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) It really isn’t about money, it’s what one does with the blessings there are given. Usually you hear about a difference between "the poor in spirit" and the monetary poor, but apparently not today. Edited January 13, 2013 by r2Dtoo
Groo the Wanderer Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 When I was a teen, I prayed that God would never allow me to be rich. He answered my prayer. Be careful what you wish for :-)

When we are pricked do we not bleed?! IDGI. Some people are poor because they are incapable, either because of outiside circumstances or inability, to earn a living. Some people are poor because of lack of effort or unwillingness to use their ability. Some people are rich because they have taken advantage of others or the 'system'. Some people are rich because of effort, ability, and/or luck. We'll all bleed if we are labeled with an unfair negative stereotype. Edited January 14, 2013 by Anomaly
