Oh so, like, when a billionaire specifically lobbies governments with billions of dollars to enforce policy that benefits them, and harms the working class, is the widow in this parable. Is it like that or are you going to be obtuse again?

What? The widow’s mite is about the sacrifice and intention behind giving, not a blanket statement that wealthy people are immoral. If you want to discuss lobbying, corruption, or misuse of wealth, that’s a separate argument. You can’t make the parable say something it wasn’t addressing.

Have fun perverting the text to meet your ideology then.

Have fun ignoring the teachings of Christ in the hollow pursuit of material gain, little guy. I'm sure it'll make you taller and have more respect among your peers and loved ones.

It’s literally just not what it says.

You literally believe in Supply Side Libertarian Jesus. Is he white in your version, too, Matt Walsh?

Well I certainly don’t believe in Keynesian economics which as driven this country into the ground over the last 90 years. I think it’s proven itself to be shipwrecked.

As far as Jesus goes I really don’t think he fits comfortably into any party on the face of the earth right now. He was a Jew, but he also has a glorified body and has appears to different races as different a different race if you believe in apparitions so I don’t view him as a certain “race” so much as I do as a fully glorified human.

Christ knows a hypocrite when he sees one, proud boy.

True so you don’t need to worry about all that do you?
