The Gospel According to Prejudice

What did everyone have against tax collectors in biblical times?
It was their JOB to collect money from you, they weren’t trying to wrong you!
I don’t give the mail man a piece of my mind when he brings the bills, do I?
Ok, money was tight. A few tax collectors may have skimmed from the top. Pinched, if you will.
But if ANY ONE of those poor people scored a job as a tax collector… They’d do the same thing!
If I was a peasant living in a sand hut in Israel during Jesus-time, and my son came home and said

“Dad… I killed the interview! I got the job! I’m a tax collector!”

You know what I’d do?

My Lotto 649 happy dance.

It's called the Gravey theory, you plant the seed and see what grows. Sometimes it's a tree sometimes it's a super hot babe who wants to jump your junk.

I can't believe you have been thinking about this since Sunday. Go and get a job as a tax collector. Then we'll talk.
