“If the Jesus of the gospels were to come to America today, the Republican Party would label him as a “liberal” and a “socialist” and a “communist”. He would be insulted and attacked by Fox News and the White House Press Secretary. Rush Limbaugh would accuse him of “class warfare” for Jesus’s attempts to act as an advocate for the poor and would call Jesus a “communist” and “un-American”. Jesus was never an advocate for the rich. He was an advocate for the poor, the unfortunate and the voiceless. So why do people like George W. Bush (advocates for the millionaires and billionaires) get away with claiming that Jesus guides them in everything they do?”

“I think vital Religion has always suffer’d, when Orthodoxy is more regarded than Virtue. And the Scripture assures me, that at the last Day, we shall not be examin’d what we thought, but what we did; and our Recommendation will not be that we said Lord, Lord, but that we did Good to our Fellow Creatures”

In addition, a special, limited edition cheesecake, the 30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake, will be introduced on July 30th with $0.25 from the sale of each slice sold this year benefiting the national hunger-relief organization, America’s Second Harvest – The Nation’s Food Bank Network. Additional activities will be announced throughout the year.
