drdriveby Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 The Christian Churches of America would do well to follow Jesus Christ and assume the financial burden of 'universal' health care. How often is one treated at a hospital displaying a religious moniker? Since Christians understandably complain about declining educational and therefore moral standards, they should insist that their leadership pay (that's right,cash) for K through college graduation. Consider the establishment institutes for higher education founded by Christian groups. These corporations cultivate immense incomes. Why can't they distribute such fish dinners to distressed pupils vegetating in the fifth form? Simple. The federal government nurtures this time bomb. And when it detonates the church will be damned before it stops its luxury automobile to assist the indigent 'faithful'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramKatori Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I cannot figure the central point of your post. Christians (and other religious folk) do give a lot of money to charities related to health-care and education. Is your point that they do not? That they should do more? Or, something else?

drdriveby Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 That they should do more? Or, something else? If Christians choose to remain faithful to their own rules that means they have an obligation to provide education and health care to everyone unable to pay for these services. Hypocrisy is the handmaiden of altruism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Just like anyone who calls for altruism of any kind had better not have a penny to his name. I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
