11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Social justice makes a lot of demands.

That is a gross misapplication of scripture. Nowhere in those verses do I find Jesus saying that we should steal from those who have worked hard to support the lazy and irresponsible.
Of course we are to show charity to the elderly, the weak, the handicapped, and even those are are simply going through hard times. But know where in scripture will you find that we should support those who are lazy and those who have been irresponsible.
In
Matthew 25 Jesus gave talents to three different men, and by liberal standards he was not fair about it. He gave some more then the others. He ended up taking the one from the irresponsible man and gave it to the responsible man. Mean old Jesus left that man with nothing.
And you will never find in scripture Jesus supporting anyone being forced to be charitable. That would be stealing.
The term "social justice" has taken on a new meaning than what it once had. The liberal democrats have stolen the term and now it simply means stealing from those who have worked hard and give it to the lazy and irresponsible so they will show up on election day and vote for them.
This is destroying America and creating a country of lazy idiots who thinks the party will last forever. However, we are now getting to a point to where the lazy and unproductive are becoming more in number then the hard working. 45% of Americans now depend on some kind of support from the government. This country is on a quick path to destruction and it seems as though people are to stupid to recognize what the problem is.
