As Twitchy reported, the memo went out earlier this week, possibly from the White House, to compare student loan cancellation with PPP loan forgiveness. That comparison just doesn’t wash, though. People took out student loans voluntarily to attend college. Businesses accepted PPP loans to keep up payroll after they were forced to shut down because of the pandemic.
As we also reported, there’s a meme that’s been making its way around showing how Jesus would have approved of student loan forgiveness:

It says “miracle” right there in the meme — Jesus didn’t take the lunches from those who had them and redistribute them to those who hadn’t.
Here’s another thing for Christians who are “mad” about people who had to pay off their own student debt:

Amazing the sheer number of pro-theocracy takes happening today.
How about a Jubilee year every seven years? How about making sure all businesses are closed on Sundays? https://t.co/lKFEEBGJi1

Combining "ackshurry, Jesus was a socialist" with tortured metaphors doesn't make the point you think it does. https://t.co/OQLlTsjXAR

This is not even a deep theological question. Before 33 AD, the issue was faith, same as it is now. They didn't know the future; we deny the past. https://t.co/rTAc1FcxoH

The point of Christ's sacrifice on the cross is that sin must be punished. This is a ridiculous analogy to debt unless your point is that you cannot actually cancel debt; someone had to pay for sin, so Christ offered Himself. You cannot cancel sin *or* debt. Someone pays. https://t.co/OORDsBVmCI

I’m sure John here is going to sell all his belongings to freely offer debt forgiveness to those who need it. https://t.co/mueUmcrpJc

Dear Fellow Christians:
I maxed out multiple credit cards buying guns and ammo. Now the debt is a great burden to me.
Please be like Christ and pay off my credit cards.
With love, in Christ,

It’s always worth checking your understanding of the Trinity. Christ is pre-existent, therefore there are no people who lived before Christ. So all people who have lived, before during or after the incarnation, are saved through faith in him, if they place their trust in him. https://t.co/OFcRqadPaa

This guy says he is a Christian, and yet his idea of God is one limited by time who cannot redeem those who died before Jesus arrived. 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/3FP9uyX0CD

So, again, Joe Biden is Jesus, paying off the student loan debt of the “suffering” by sacrificing himself? What did Biden sacrifice?
