🚨THOUGHTS on Christians and SNAP🚨:
1. If you want the government to pass "biblical" laws on things like abortion, then why not on feeding the hungry?

Powerful piece about the banality of evil, really.How simply trying to get by and pay the bills can cause folks to go along with a lot of stuff. We can cast stones but I'd rather say: "Welcome to the resistance"
