The False Compassion Of Liberalism

Churches did not and cannot meet these needs. It would cost $200K/yr to provide insurance to replace what Obamacare provides. That's counting every Christian Church in America. We have the choice to spend more of our tax $ on healthcare fgor the poor or to pour it down the black hole of Defense spending.

 

The organized Church (organized religion as you call it) did not start in the early 1900s.

 

The Bible, or Christ never mentioned health insurance. I don't mind the insurance industry, but you're speaking of it as if it's biblical. It is not, and it's not the most efficient use of funds, especially if the government is involved.

 

The liberal church let them down. That's your side of the fence. The conservative church lead the abolitionist movement which not only ended slavery in America but influenced the entire world to turn from slavery. That's my theological heritage. It's the same think tank that is now fighting the abortion holocaust—something you liberal Christians have been ignoring for decades.

 

I believe in labels to an extent. They help the dialog in many cases. You can almost predict perfectly what a person will back based on the labels ascribed to them.

That said, please help me to be accurate about what you believe. Give me some conservatives beliefs you hold, so I can judge more properly.

I think I deserve a label. I think I'm a politically conservative Christian. I don't mind the label at all. I'm also a Trump supporter. No problem with that label either.

And it's common for liberals, even media liberals, to resist the liberal label. They call us right-wingers all the time, but object to being called left-wingers. I don't see what the bid deal is. There is the religious right and the religious left.

And yes, the Church has often failed the people. The modern Church today is struggling badly with political liberalism, among other things. Many turned their backs on the unborn this election cycle. I have no problem admitting the Church failed kidnapped Africans back in the day, but I do give them credit for heading up the abolitionist movement. They went back to the Bible.

 

It is Caluminum's schtick.

 

I have no problem with labels. Jesus used them, the Bible uses them. They're useful.

 

Is he still up to his tired tricks?

Never said otherwise.

 

You are correct. I would never label someone I've never conversed with and never listened to them express their views.

 

I'm with you until that last part. Sometimes the ends do justify the means, in fact, I would say in most cases they do. A bomb in Japan a good example.
