My response to a Fundy cousin on my family's website...
   
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 12:55 PM by JuniperLea
Despite a call from the family site admins to eschew political discussion, one of my cousins posted an "anti government healthcare" post. So I had to reply...

'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:40

People are lining up for free health care in Los Angeles... care from an organization that serves third world countries. This is sickening. We need to help everyone out here and give them affordable healthcare. Jesus taught us to take care of the sick, and that's what we need to do.

The insurance companies want things to stay the way they are so they can keep making billions of dollars a year, instead of paying claims for sick people. They only make money when they don't pay claims. They want things to stay exactly the way they are right now. They are lying to people over money.

I say we do what Jesus told us to do and help our "lesser" brothers and sisters. If you refuse to help your brothers and sisters in need, you are refusing to help Jesus. He said so.

I'm sorry, Stanley (Uber cool family site admin). I just can't stand seeing people put money over human beings.

We have enough for everyone, if we'd just share! Remember the story of the fishes and the loaves?

If we share, God will provide. With two fishes and five loaves, he fed five thousand hungry souls..

Notice that says whatever you did. Not what legislation you support or what help your tax dollars gave it says what you did.
As usual the primitives are clueless when it comes to scripture or anything involving Christianity

.

The legislation that you all are supporting is going to turn the Govt into an insurance agency. Everything you gripe about that Blue Cross does will be ten fold when Uncle Sam foots the bill.

I say we do what Jesus told us to do and help our "lesser" brothers and sisters. If you refuse to help your brothers and sisters in need, you are refusing to help Jesus. He said so.

Then go out and help your brother don't sit at home and wait for congress to come to the rescue.

I'm sorry, Stanley (Uber cool family site admin). I just can't stand seeing people put money over human beings.

The govt will do just that. The govt isn't an endless supply of free money just waiting to be plucked. The govt will take drastic measures to keep costs down. And guess what unlike the insurance companies you won't be able to threaten them with litigation if they don't live up to what they promise.

Thats right Jesus used a govt program to do that. Oh wait he performed a miracle from one little boy who willingly shared what he had.
If you think that we can hand uncle Sam $2 he will turn it into enough money to take everyone to golden corral you are nuts.

2. Great answer.
   
Jesus said to take care of the poor. He never said 'but don't do it through the government.' He just said do it.

yeah I am sure petitioning the govt to feed the poor rates right up there with giving a homeless man a sandwich.

DUmmy families have websites?
With admins and rules?
That they turn into little mini-DUmps?

[blitzkrieg_17]

Hey assholes, Do not speak of that which you do not believe or understand.

They would have to be quiet all the time then.

Has Obumbler ever done anything for his REAL brother over in Kenya living in a 10x10 dirt floor hut?

More lies from the affirmative action Won.

Of course - many primitives are like certain animals that sleep, eat, and crap in the same place.

[TheSarge]

Only a bunch of anti-religious goons like the DUmmies who care not one whit about the Bible would draw the conclusion that Jesus was a Liberal.

[JohnnyReb]

DUmmie says we gotta share.....OK, I want every DUmmie to send me 10% of their mental pills, pain pills, illegal dope stash and gummint check. That should keep me messed up, outta pain and fixed for the rest of my life....which shouldn't be to long if I take the junk at the same rates they do.
