yeah but even jesus refered to those people as dogs. so that wasent really the population he was after he was bigoted against them really. What I think the real reason was is a seperate religion for the working and poor class, the original old testament brought anarchy because of its views about right and wrong and revenge, and the govt. cannot exist with that righteous attitude so they give us this watered down turn the other cheek religion of the poor people. most senators and i believe all presidents are members of a different religion called the masons.
