Those that say the public option will take away freedom and that Jesus would never be for anything government run are speaking through their man-made, humanistic Ideologies.
Matthew 25 31-46 states how we as a nation treat the 'least of these', is how we treat Christ himself. Jesus wouldn't care how we helped the poor and sick, just as long as we did it.
Another illiterate heard from. This is me casting pearls before swine again, but what can I say? It's a bad habit I have.
Matthew 25:31-46 does not refer to how nations are supposed to behave, you tweeko. It refers to how PEOPLE - as in individuals - are supposed to behave. Observe the phrase, ". . . and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." The PEOPLE, Brain Trust.
Last time I checked, Medicare never dropped someone off of there coverage because they had gotten sick and digging into their profits. What the health insurance industry is doing is right up there with planned parenthood, making profit from the termination of human life(abortion). Its some of the most anti-Christ behavior that I've seen in a while.
Then you need to check a little deeper, numbnuts. Medicare and Medicaid both make a regular practice of refusing payment for things. In fact, Medicare flatly refuses to guarantee payment for ANYTHING. Ask your doctor's billing specialist if you don't believe me. Oh, they'll PROBABLY pay for it, because they have before, but they're not promisin' nothin'.
I also wish the wing nuts would get off of the "losing freedom" tangent. If you are a christian, your freedom is compromised. Follow Christ or suffer the consequences. Doesn't leave a lot of room for your freedoms does it? Jesus didn't tell us to:
"live free or die"
And when I get around to taking a vote on what I should and shouldn't consider important, I MIGHT care if you want me to "get off of it" or not. But probably not, because I'll still think you're a retard.
Comparing following Christ to being taxed for welfare programs is just disingenuous, not to mention childish. It might help your argument if the government and your bloated, worthless social programs were even remotely as attractive a "compromise to my freedom" as God is.
By the way, I believe the Bible DID say that no man can serve two masters. Hmmm, God or government? Decisions, decisions.
He told us to love others as we love ourselves, which means sacrifice and doing things that restrict your freedom for the sake of others. Its a good thing Jesus wasn't a conservative, otherwise he would have never died on the cross for our sins. You would think by listening to these neo-cons Christs middle name would be Adam Smith.
See my response to that other tweeko on whether or not "love others as ourselves" means giving them the same welfare handouts you're trying to score for yourself. Because frankly, I'm not impressed with the quality of your affections, just because you're not trying to drag me down any farther than just to your level.
It's a good thing Jesus wasn't a leftist, otherwise he'd have had the government send someone else to die on the cross. You would think by listening to these paleo-leftists that Christ's middle name was Karl Marx.
