Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez is from Texas and first got an MA in Theology before going into law -- if that gives you any useful context.
Jesus would want the Onion to buy Infowars
Depends on which "Jesus" you are talking about.
The gospel of Supply Side Jesus clearly states that it is easier for a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven seated comfortably on the back of a camel than it is for a poor man to enter the eye of a needle. So I don't see the issue - more money = more gooder

Jesus was always saying punchy one liners. He'd be a brilliant satirist.
If only; that would be some tasty irony for a theology degree-holding judge
Nope
It's true that Theology does have a lot in common with Law
They are both about studying non-material things thought up by humans.
Ah I see!
Nah I just meant, "Nope it doesn't give me any extra context because I'm too lazy and stubborn to read an article about that brain-damaged obese piece of shit"
