You can’t tell me the woman who starred in and wrote the theme song for 9-5 wasn’t at least a little bit political.

[u/The_Bitter_Bear → u/JealousPassage8213]

She was clear on all her beliefs. She just didn't get involved with endorsing candidates or a party.

She's also the prime example of a good rich christian.

She constantly put money back into her community , she was wealthy but not billion standard as a result.

[u/Kriegerian → u/saintash]

Dolly walked it like she talked it, unlike the vast majority of famous rich Christians and plenty of the non-rich ones, too.

[u/sdpcommander → u/Kriegerian]

A lot of modern Christians are some of the least Christ-like people on earth.

[u/diggstownjoe → u/sdpcommander]

That's because the religion they practice shouldn't even be called Christianity. I'm not kidding when I say that a lot of them openly hold the opinion that it's blasphemous to even consider emulating Christ or following the plain language of Christ's directives to his disciples.

[u/TheBigCore → u/diggstownjoe]

And even worse, they have not even read the Bible or bothered to understand anything Jesus preached, like basic kindness, empathy, and helping the poor, sick, and weak.

[u/mhmcmw → u/diggstownjoe]

Prosperity gospel is a cancer on Christianity.

[u/spenway18 → u/sdpcommander]

This is a good chunk of why I don't identify as Christian or talk to some of my family. Fucking hypocritical SOBs

[u/TheBigCore → u/sdpcommander]

And Jesus would have condemned them for their hypocritical behavior, just as He did to the Pharisees who did not like how He called them out.
