single-letter difference between God and the IRS

Said letter is "R" --- God tells us to "PRAY with faith and without ceasing", whereas the IRS tells us to "PAY with faith and without ceasing". Otherwise, both "mighty entities" are essentially the same... they act like they've got your best interests at heart, but in reality they just mercilessly "milk you for all you're worth" and then turn their backs on you when you've been drained dry... no further explanation necessary.

Come to think of it, the single-letter difference between God and the IRS isn't the only direct correlation between the two "superpowers" --- because the IRS tells us to PAY so much, it causes poorer folks to PRAY to God a lot more due to their worries over becoming even more destitute from shelling out for their income taxes!

Difference

There is one though.

Hym "The difference between the recipe thing and Dr. Peepeestones' thing is that Sam doesn't selectively omit ingredients to prove the text agreeable to his ethical standards. And, in that respect, my criticisms of Dr. Jeepjorp are nearly identical to Bertrand Russell's criticisms of Socrates."

completely different scenario

a canned response to validate the responder's hypocritical actions as non-hypocritical

"So now you want to wave the national flag? Didn't you call that 'racist' a few years ago?"

"Completely different scenario! I'm doing this because it's against that evil foreign leader!"

national make a goddamn difference day

May 4th is national make a goddamn difference day, because we need to make a goddamn difference if we are adamant about not going extinct as a species in the next 10-20 years.

difference between attacking people and problems

in our modern soc-med oriented world, a very important moral quality that you absolutely cannot, and will never be able to, buy at the local Walmart or dollar store

the main reason the 2016 us presidential campaign rhetoric was so vitriolic and insidious is that both presidential nominees don\t know the difference between attacking people and problems.
