Stephen Colbert on Helping the Poor
Did anyone catch this Stephen Colbert quote from a few weeks ago on his show?
"If this is gonna be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we've got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition! And then admit, that we just don't wanna do it."
I'm not one for getting into political debates or rhetoric, but when a comedian gets it right more than anyone else in politics or on tv, you gotta wonder what kind of world we live in.
Watch the whole segment below, either for its tragically accurate assessment of social justice in politics today, or if anything just for its sheer entertainment value.
