        I would probably think the same if I didn't know someone living in poverty and their story.

        Didn't know their story?? They are poor! Poverty is *rarely* caused by lack of effort. It is systemic, embedded, cyclical, and engineered.

        First, I am sad re: this result. But writer only asked ??s of fundy sources. No questions asked to Christian Left authorities. Ignores us.

        They keep putting reporters on beats who have 0 awareness of, say, mainline Protestants. Always only "biblicists/Catholics = Christianity."

        I remember reading somewhere, he was a zealot, fighting against the most powerful empire on earth. Lazy freedom fighters don't win.
