Turns out God doesn’t like ACT…
Treaty Principles Bill: 440 Christian leaders sign open letter asking MPs to vote no
More than 400 Christian leaders – including senior leaders of the Catholic, Anglican, and Methodist denominations in Aotearoa – have signed an open letter calling on MPs to vote down the Treaty Principles Bill.
…David has responded by lecturing Christians about Christianity the same way he has lectured Māori about being Māori…
David Seymour hits out at church leaders over Treaty Principles Bill
…says the man who only won 8% of the vote and who is attempting to force a rogue definition of the Treaty and force Māori to accept his renegotiation without any input from them.
Y-e-a-h.
I’m not sure David as the leader of a reactionary hard right pro-money agenda is the best person to lecture on Christian values.
What would Jesus do?
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mark 10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
Galatians 2:10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Ephesians 4:28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.
Jesus seems pretty keen on a capital gains taxes and doesn’t sound like he wants to create loopholes for property speculators.
I don’t think Jesus would cut benefits, abuse the disabled or race bait the way ACT do.

One wonders why the left is so terrified that we will discuss these principles.
Nothing to see here! Now move along…
Actually Andrew 92% disagree so the right and left disagree with you. The 8% hard right ACT groupies are terrified.
So yes, nothing to see in your post..now move along…
P.S. 8% is overinflated, so extremists and conspiracy theorists are the only ones terrified.
it’s a dishonest discussion in bad faith to stir up resentment. bullshit populist rhetoric to appeal to assholes like you who can’t see past the huge chip on their shoulder
May be a journo will read those words of Jesus at a Luxon stand up and ask “what would Luxon do?”
Luxon would reply ,I will say to you I intend to do fuck all and I will blow David for lunch as he is doing a great job creating a smoke screen so I can fuck NZ over .I am selling all my houses and moving the cash off shore ready to leave asap when you hobbits wake up to what an arse hole I am .
We the Maori are Tangata Whenua. The people of the land. The first Nations people.
The Dutch are the second Nations people after Tasman came in 1642.
The British did not arrive untill 127 years later in 1769 some 500 years after Tangata Whenua.
The British are therefore the third Nations people.
Yet White children are still taught that Captain Cook discovered New Zealand.
If Cook dicovered NZ in 1769 why did he give these lands a Dutch name?
The Pakeha David Stealmour like White people since 1840 have tried to eradicate history
and promote the White British from 3rd Nations people to first Nations status.
So desperate and pitiful.
Luxon replies: ” well of course, I really do believe in Christian principles, whatever they are and I try to follow them personally and for my family whenever we are in Te Puke, or hawaii or some other place and I know a lot of church leaders who are personal good friends of mine, I met many of them when I was CEO of Air New Zealand and we are all determined to do our very best for China, I mean New Zealand, and of course David and I disagree from time to time but it does not matter because it is all the fault of Labour and Jacinda and we are beating inflation by putting lots of people in a position where they have to look for new jobs and Nicola is doing a great job, for a girl that is, and we all get on well with Winston because he is asleep most of time.’
Next question
But David Stealmour is te tangata whenua.
What a Clusterf**k this Treaty Bill is, Baldrick, Seymore and Winnie will likely pay at the Ballot Box in 2026.
Seymore appears to be fizzing with excitement over his Treaty Bill ???
If Little Dave had been one of the Good Shepherd’s flock, with that overshot ‘ parrot jaw’ he’d have been drafted off at weaning, on the truck to the works.
But here we are instead, NZ’S Oswald Mosley re-incarnated.
This argument is like two people mooning one another from distant hilltops. They can’t see or hear each other, and if you or I wander up either of the hills for a smoke it just looks like the poor souls have gone to the other side of coherent. Believe me, this garbled argument won’t make one jot of difference no matter how things turn out.
I understand that the Prophet Jesus was opposed to noncing.
David Seymour, not so much
