Which Bible did you pull that out of?
Why do people think that, because they never read something, no one else ever has either?
Your scriptures have no bearing on my statement.
Matthew 25:34-40
The Final Judgment
34 Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
40 The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
You cannot Legislate Salvation. You can live by example.
If our government is 'of the people, by the people and for the people' and our country is founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs; shouldn't our government reflect those beliefs?
"Our sense of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply religious faith, and I don't care what it is. With us of course it is the Judeo-Christian concept, but it must be a religion that all men are created equal."
Dwight D. Eisenhower, speech to the Freedoms Foundation in New York
