Obama’s religious supporters jumping ship?

Obviously, men of cloth are no longer men of God. No where in the bible does God insist that Christians create or use governments to control other people.

Bah, I really just wanted to say what i said above, but for some reason I cannot let it go.

That phrase was used: “And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?”

How exactly does this relate to giving people access to medical care? Or to giving anybody anything for that matter. The statement is meant as in, I am not a spy for you to tell you where my brother is. Of course, this was used in order to cover up the sin of murder.

Christianity is not socialism, nor does it preach that all people are worthy of being taken care of by the people of the church. The bible, and Christ very specifically instruct people to not associate with those who live their lives in sin. While you can go and preach to them, and show them their sins and the way back into God’s grace, we are not to support sin.

When the government takes on the role of supporting sinners, it causes a problem with the ability of the church to help those people who live lives of sin, because many times it is the sin that rewards them with mana from government. Out of wedlock babies for more government mana, being a drug addict gets you disability payments, lying about your ability to hold a job in order to drain the taxes from hard working Americans. This list can be much longer if I chose to do some research, these are just things I have seen specifically by living my life. People who have lived a very sinful life do not turn to God until they hit rock bottom and need a helping hand and see no other alternative than to seek the truth. The government prevents many people from finding that bottom, and prevents the outreach of churches from reaching these people.

In all situation, the government stepping into the social arena has caused significant damage to our culture and to religion in specifics. The government civilized Marriage and now we have no fault divorce. The government created Social Security, which has caused Americans to cut back on savings for their retirement, cut the number of children many have, because they will not need them in their old age. Broken families because the children know their parents are taken care of from their taxes, so why send grandma or mom a couple hundred bucks a month when she ruined your (fill in blank with some petty thing). Medicare and more importantly Medicaid and other government granted health care systems have caused the highest use of medical care to be used by the least productive citizens of the country with no reason not to abuse the system. Federal government in schools has caused the absolute worsening of our system, going from the single best in the world to a stones throw from worst for some school districts. Government run ghettos that turn out out of wedlock babies who have more out of wedlock babies before reaching the age of 15 in many cases, some as low as 8 and 9! Extremely high violence in the most subsidized parts of cities, which also turn out the worst school graduates along with the highest school dropout rates.

These cockroaches calling themselves priests or whatever they chose to be titled are not religious, there is no way they could be religious if their belief is that government > God in providing for the needy.
